A '''battle effect''' is some special condition that may affect a Pokémon's capabilities in battle.
{{incomplete|needs=Missing official names (If single cause (eg: Laser Focus) use official name and link to cause page. If multiple cause, if a main page exists for that state (eg: Center of attention) use official name and link to main page, otherwise use official name and include causes in brackets (see Focusing for example).


==Field effects==
Before Mainspacing: Missing links in effect descriptions. Missing information on changes between generations. Missing baton pass info.
A field effect is a condition that affects some or all of the positions of the field and persists between turns, impacting any Pokémon occupying the affected positions.


===Whole field effects===
To Test: Imprison, Uproar, and Center of attention - how are their effects applied to other pokemon on the field? Choice Items - is choice lock applied by status condition or tracker? After You - just an instant effect or boosted priority? Pledge Move and G-Max Move field state durations. Instruct - Do instructed moves actually count as an action? Baton Pass - How do linked states interact? Check [[Ability]] for additional states, maybe recheck [[Special move]] as well.}}
These field effects affect every position on the field.

A Pokémon's [[Battle status#Battle states|battle state]] describes a set of conditions that affect its capabilities in battles. There are two kinds of battle states: those that affect one or both sides of the battlefield, and those that affect individual Pokémon.

A battle state's duration is based on complete turns and includes the initial turn. States that take effect each turn are applied at the end of the turn.

===Whole field states===
These field states affect the field as a whole, impacting every Pokémon currently in battle.
 
[[Weather]] and [[terrain]] effects are unique, only one of each can be in effect simultaneously.
 
Terrain effects only impact grounded Pokémon.

==Volatile states==
==Pokémon states==
A volatile state is a condition that affects a Pokémon and persists between turns. Unlike status conditions however, volatile states are lost once the affected Pokémon is switched out of battle or when the battle ends.
A Pokémon battle state, also called a volatile status condition, is a condition that affects a Pokémon and persists between turns. Unlike status conditions however, these states are lost once the affected Pokémon is switched out of battle or when the battle ends. Some Pokémon states are linked to the Pokémon that inflicted it. In this case, the state will be lost if the linked Pokémon is removed from battle.


Temporary table, needs baton pass info, better effect descriptions, official names, and info on generational variations (eg: duration changes, rage only causing rampage in gen 1, etc). Triggers are also probably incomplete.
Some Pokémon battle states have an effect and duration bound to the affected Pokémon's actions rather than the general turn count, these are denoted with a duration measured in actions rather than turns. On the action when the state would expire the state will end directly before the affected Pokémon takes their turn (excluding disable, taunt, and encore) Using an {{m|Instruct|instructed move}} will count as performing an additional action that turn and reduces the duration accordingly.

===Stat Modifiers===
Since stat modifiers are lost when a pokemon exits battle, are they a type of volatile state?
 
===Form Changes===
Form changes may also count as volatile states, both major Form Changes (Mega Evolution, Dynamax, Terastallize, Primal Reversion, Ultra Burst) and other Form Changes (Forecast, Zen Mode, Battle Bond, Stance Change, Schooling, Shields Down, Disguise, Gulp Missile, Ice Face, Hunger Switch, Zero to Hero, Relic Song)
 
==Transient states==
A transient state is a condition that affects a Pokémon only on the turn it is applied.

050Diglett.png This article is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Missing official names (If single cause (eg: Laser Focus) use official name and link to cause page. If multiple cause, if a main page exists for that state (eg: Center of attention) use official name and link to main page, otherwise use official name and include causes in brackets (see Focusing for example).

Before Mainspacing: Missing links in effect descriptions. Missing information on changes between generations. Missing baton pass info.

To Test: Imprison, Uproar, and Center of attention - how are their effects applied to other pokemon on the field? Choice Items - is choice lock applied by status condition or tracker? After You - just an instant effect or boosted priority? Pledge Move and G-Max Move field state durations. Instruct - Do instructed moves actually count as an action? Baton Pass - How do linked states interact? Check Ability for additional states, maybe recheck Special move as well.


A Pokémon's battle state describes a set of conditions that affect its capabilities in battles. There are two kinds of battle states: those that affect one or both sides of the battlefield, and those that affect individual Pokémon.

A battle state's duration is based on complete turns and includes the initial turn. States that take effect each turn are applied at the end of the turn.

Field states

A field state is a condition that affects some or all of the positions of the field and persists between turns, impacting any Pokémon occupying the affected positions.

Whole field states

These field states affect the field as a whole, impacting every Pokémon currently in battle.

Weather and terrain effects are unique, only one of each can be in effect simultaneously.

Terrain effects only impact grounded Pokémon.

Side of field state

These field states affect one side of the field, impacting every Pokémon currently in battle on that side.

Pokémon states

A Pokémon battle state, also called a volatile status condition, is a condition that affects a Pokémon and persists between turns. Unlike status conditions however, these states are lost once the affected Pokémon is switched out of battle or when the battle ends. Some Pokémon states are linked to the Pokémon that inflicted it. In this case, the state will be lost if the linked Pokémon is removed from battle.

Some Pokémon battle states have an effect and duration bound to the affected Pokémon's actions rather than the general turn count, these are denoted with a duration measured in actions rather than turns. On the action when the state would expire the state will end directly before the affected Pokémon takes their turn (excluding disable, taunt, and encore) Using an instructed move will count as performing an additional action that turn and reduces the duration accordingly.
