Status move

Damage categories
	Physical
	Special
	Status

Spore is an example of a status move.

The status move (Japanese: 変化技 status move) category includes several moves that do not directly inflict damage, unlike physical and special moves. Status moves include moves that change the weather, inflict status conditions, or raise or lower the stats of a Pokémon, among other effects.

This term was introduced in Generation V, in addition to Status move and status-changing move (although healing or status-changing move has also been used since Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen). From Generation VI onwards, the games almost always use only status move.

In Pokémon Stadium, it is known as special technique or special move (Japanese: とくしゅな わざ special move), although only the latter name is used in the sequel Pokémon Stadium 2. From Generation IV onwards, they are identified by the status move symbol in the summary. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is known as changing attack (Japanese: へんかわざ changing move). In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, it is referred to as Other.

Status moves typically do not employ type effectiveness, so may affect Pokémon regardless of their types; however, Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Thunder Wave based on type interactions, and Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to Glare based on type interactions in Generations II and III only. Furthermore, status moves may be unable to affect Pokémon based on type-related interactions other than effectiveness; for example, Poison-type Pokémon cannot be afflicted with poison and are thus unaffected by Poison Gas (unless the user has Corrosion).

The majority of Normal- and Psychic-type moves, as well as the only ???-type move (prior to Generation V, when the type stopped existing), are in this category. Very few moves of the other 16 types are status moves; for example, the Dragon-type and Fire-type only have three status moves each.

In the Generation I and II core series games, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses a status move that would decrease one of the target's stats, that move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss. In the Generation II core series games, this condition also applies to status moves that would inflict a non-volatile status condition upon the target.

When a Pokémon Dynamaxes, its status moves temporarily become Max Guard.

Terminology

Pokémon Stadium series

In Pokémon Stadium, the terms "special technique" or "special move" (Japanese: とくしゅな わざ special move in both cases) refer to status moves. In Pokémon Stadium 2, the word "technique" was replaced by "move" in all move descriptions.

Sometimes, their type is mentioned in the move description as well, as in "special Normal-type technique" or "special Psychic-type move".

These status moves are described as "special moves" in both Stadium games: Conversion, Hypnosis, Kinesis, Lovely Kiss, and Thunder Wave.

These status moves are described as "special techniques" in Pokémon Stadium, and as "special moves" in Pokémon Stadium 2 (although they use the same Japanese term): Agility, Confuse Ray, Light Screen, Meditate, Reflect, Sing, Supersonic, and Teleport.

For comparison, the term "special attack" (Japanese: とくしゅこうげき special attack) is sometimes used referring to special moves in the Stadium games. This includes the "special attacks" mentioned in the description of Light Screen and Mirror Coat. The moves Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, and Future Sight are also referred to as "special attacks".

Generation III

From Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen onwards, Snatch refers to status moves as "healing or status-changing moves" or "healing or stat-changing moves".

Generation IV

Starting in this generation, the status moves are identified by their symbol as seen in the Pokémon's summary.

The name "changing attack" (Japanese: へんかわざ changing move) is seen in one of the three lists of TMs for sale, which are based on the moves's categories, at the Exchange Service Corner from the Battle Frontier in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver (unlike in Pokémon Platinum, where there is a single list of TMs available for sale in the Battle Frontier).

Generation V onwards

These terms were introduced in introduced in Pokémon Black and White: "status move" (only found in the description of Prankster), "Status move" (found in the Help System: "Moves are classified as Physical, Special, or Status moves."), and "status-changing move" (used in the description of Magic Bounce and Wonder Skin).

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Cheren's descriptions of Prankster, Magic Bounce, and Wonder Skin use "status move".

From Generation VI onwards, "status move" is almost always consistently used.
