Effect

In battle

Pokémon with this Ability are unaffected by other Pokémon's status moves. It does not block status moves that target the user; the other side of the field, such as Stealth Rock; or all Pokémon, such as Haze. It does, however, block potentially benefical status moves from ally Pokémon, such as Life Dew and Howl.

Memento fails and the user does not faint. Curse used by a Ghost type fails without deducting HP from the user of Curse. Strength Sap fails without even restoring the HP of the user.

Outside of battle

Good as Gold has no effect outside of battle.
