A status move is a move that, in the Pokémon games, does no direct damage, but instead causes a weather condition, status effect, or raises or lowers the stats of a Pokémon during battle. This includes also other attacks which cannot be categorized under physical moves and special moves because of their unique or nearly-unique effects, such as Destiny Bond, Splash, Charge, and Recover.
The majority of Normal and Psychic moves as well as the only former Unknown move, Curse, are in this category. Very few moves of most other types are status moves: the Dragon type only features one status move, while Fire only features two status moves.
