View source for User:TehPerson/Battle state

A '''battle state''' is some condition that may affect a Pokémon's capabilities in battle. The following lists the battle states that can affect Pokémon during a battle.

==Interface==
The interface is largely split between a general summary of the Pokémon and an explicit list of battle states and effects. The summary shows some effects that may not be listed on the right.

===Type===
The Pokémon's current [[type]] is shown and reflects [[type change|any changes]] that have occurred in the battle, including extra types from moves like {{m|Forest's Curse}}.

===Ability===
The Pokémon's current [[Ability]] is shown and reflects [[Ability change|any changes]] that have occurred in battle.

===Held item===
The Pokémon's current [[held item]] is shown and reflects any changes that have occurred in battle, such as if the item was consumed or otherwise removed (including due to {{m|Knock Off}}) or if it was switched by a move such as {{m|Trick}}.

===Current HP===
The Pokémon's current [[HP]] is shown.

===Stage modifiers===
All [[Stat modifier|stage modifications]] to the Pokémon's stats are shown, including the Pokémon's five main [[stats]] (aside from HP), accuracy, and evasion.

===Status condition===
If the Pokémon has a non-volatile [[status condition]], it will be shown.

===Battle states and effects===
In the list of battle states and effects, some will include a timer such as "4/5". This indicates the number of turns until that effect ends.

==Battle states and effects==
===Volatile battle states===
Volatile battle states wear off once the affected Pokémon is switched out of battle or when the battle ends.

===In Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
{{g|Legends: Arceus}} has a different set of battle states and [[status condition]]s, separate from that of the other core series games. 

====Volatile battle states====

| Critical Hit Boost
| 
| style='text-align:left;' | The Pokémon is more likely to land critical hits.
| style='text-align:left;' | The Pokémon's critical hit stage has been increased. Like with stat modifiers, in Legends: Arceus, critical hit boosts have a set duration and do not stack. 

Critical Hit Boost is the only volatile battle state from the core series that is also present in this game.

| Fixated
| 
| style='text-align:left;' | The Pokémon is fixated on the last move it used. This move will deal increased damage while the fixation lasts, but any damage dealt to the fixated Pokémon is also increased.
| style='text-align:left;' | A Pokémon can become fixated on the last move it used. Using a fixated-on move deals increased damage, but also causes the user to receive increased damage from direct attacks. Fixation ends when the Pokémon uses a different move.

| Splinters
| 
| style='text-align:left;' | At the end of each turn, the Pokémon is hurt by the jagged splinters digging into it.
| style='text-align:left;' | A Pokémon afflicted with splinters will take [[damage]] equivalent to a 25-[[power]] move from the user, which factors in the type effectiveness of the same move that caused it, but not the random damage factor. Splinters damage the target at the end of its turn, and they last three turns for regular moves, two turns for agile style moves, and four turns for strong style moves.

| Obscured
| 
| style='text-align:left;' | The Pokémon is concealed in mud or the like, raising the chance that the Pokémon will evade opponents' moves.
| style='text-align:left;' | Obscured is a status condition exclusive to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} that causes incoming attacks to become more likely to miss. It does not affect {{cat|Moves that cannot miss|sure-hit moves}}, which will always hit an obscured target regardless. It corresponds to {{cat|moves that can lower the target's accuracy}} in other core series games.

| Primed
| [[File:Double Hit LA.png|220px]]
| style='text-align:left;' | The Pokémon has adopted a hard-hitting stance, increasing the damage it deals with its moves.
| style='text-align:left;' | Being primed causes the user's attack moves to deal 50% more damage.

| style='text-align:left;' | The Pokémon has swapped its offensive stats with its defensive stats.

=====Stat modifiers=====
Unlike [[stat modifier]]s in the core series, stat modifiers

| Power Boost
| [[File:Victory_Dance_LA.png|220px]]
| style='text-align:left;' | The Pokémon's offensive stats are raised, boosting its Attack and Sp. Atk stats.
| style='text-align:left;' | Power Boost indicates that a Pokémon's offensive stats are raised, increasing the damage it deals with its moves by 50%. If the Pokémon is already affected by Power Drop, it will cancel it out instead. It is usually caused by moves that can raise Attack or Sp. Atk in other core series games.

====Automatic battle states====
These battle states are automatically triggered as soon as the Pokémon enters battle. They are all exclusive to a specific Pokémon in the game.

| {{a|Slow Start}}
| 
| style='text-align:left;' | The Pokémon's Attack and Speed stats are halved until it gets going.
| style='text-align:left;' | Because [[Ability|Abilities]] are absent in Legends: Arceus, Slow Start is instead a battle state exclusive to {{p|Regigigas}}, which lasts for five turns upon entering battle. 
| {{p|Regigigas}}
|- style='background:#fff'
| Wild Might
| 
| style='text-align:left;' | All the Pokémon's stats are boosted. The Pokémon also takes reduced damage from status conditions and move effects such as poisoning and splinters.
| style='text-align:left;' | Wild Might is a buff that is exclusive to wild [[Alpha Pokémon]]. It's indicated by glowing red eyes. A caught Alpha Pokémon will not have this status in battle.

|- style='background:#fff'
| Terrible Might
| 
| style='text-align:left;' | All the Pokémon's stats are boosted. The Pokémon also takes reduced damage from status conditions and move effects such as poisoning and splinters.
| style='text-align:left;' | Terrible Might works identically to Wild Might, but exclusive to {{p|Giratina}} during the player's battle against [[Volo]]. It's indicated by an ominous, black aura surrounding Giratina.
