Natural Cure (Japanese: しぜんかいふく Natural Recovery) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.
Effect
In battle
Generations III to IV
Natural Cure heals any status conditions upon switching out or completing a battle (if it was in battle at the end of the battle). Players can see that an opponent's Natural Cure activated by looking at the Poké balls that display when the opponent replaces a fainted Pokémon.
This effect will occur if Natural Cure is the Pokémon's Ability in battle when it switches out and is not suppressed; a Pokémon that obtained the Ability with Trace will have its status condition cured when it switches out, whereas a Pokémon which has Natural Cure but has been affected by Gastro Acid will not.
Generation V onward
Replacing fainted Pokémon no longer displays Poké balls, so players can see that an opponent's Natural Cure activated only when the Pokémon is sent in after curing its status condition.
Outside of battle
From Generation IV onward, Natural Cure automatically heals status conditions upon the end of a battle.
