'''Status ailments''' are considered differently in the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}} games compared to the main series. Statuses can be caused by various moves, and may represent not only statuses in the traditional sense (such as being asleep), but also as a result of moves being used (such as being in the middle of a two-turn attack). Because of this, a player may have multiple status ailments in effect, though some effects are mutually exclusive.
'''Status ailments''' and '''status conditions''' are considered differently in the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}} games compared to the main series (where the two terms are synonymous). Whereas in the main series a Pokémon can only be afflicted with one major [[status ailment]] and a number of volatile minor status ailments, the Mystery Dungeon series allows Pokémon to be afflicted by one status in each of a number of status condition groups. Having said that, not all status conditions are adverse effects (ie. ailments), and status ailments can be caused by factors other than status conditions.


'''Major status effects''' are those which may be removed using items, {{m|Aromatherapy}}, {{m|Heal Bell}}, or stepping on [[Dungeon tiles]].  Though not statuses in and of itself, all sealed moves are unsealed and any reduction of movement speed is negated whenever a major status effect is healedPokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will suffer major status effects for at most 5 turns, while Pokémon with Self-Curer will have status durations cut in half. Pokémon with {{a|Early Bird}} affected with a sleep ability (Asleep, Nightmare, and Napping) will have its status durations further cut in half.
== Status Ailments ==
'''Status ailments''' are adverse effects that are placed on a PokémonThey make up a large subset of status conditions, but only the following categories of conditions are considered ailments:


In the following lists, each group of statuses are mutually exclusiveMoves in ''italics'' are considered to be major statuses.
* Sleep-related conditions (Asleep, Nightmare, Yawning), except Sleepless and Napping
* Major status conditions (Burned, Poisoned, Badly Poisoned, Paralyzed)
* Conditions affecting mobility (Frozen, Leg Hold, Wrapped by Foe, Wrapped Around Foe, Petrified, Constriction), except Ingrain
* Volatile status conditions (Cringing, Confused, Paused, Cowering, Taunted, Encore, and Infatuated)
* Cursed and Decoy, but not Snatch
* Leech Seed, but not Destiny Bond
* Accuracy-related conditions (Whiffer), but not Sure Shot, Set Damage, and Focus Energy
* Visibility-related conditions Conditions that treat allies as foes (Blinker, Cross-Eyed), except Eyedrops
* Muzzled
* Exposed
* Perish Song
 
In addition, loss of [[Movement Speed]] and having a [[sealed move]] are also ailments, neither of which are considered conditions.  A Pokémon must have at least one ailment in order for healing to take effect, and when a Pokémon is healed (such as from items, {{m|Aromatherapy}}, {{m|Heal Bell}}, or stepping on [[Wonder Tiles]]), the Pokémon no longer suffers from a status in any of these categories (except Leech Seed, which is ''not'' cured).  Furthermore, all sealed moves are no longer sealed, and all reductions in movement speed is removed.
 
A Pokémon with the {{a|Natural Cure}} [[ability]] will have an ailment for at most 5 turns (even for those that are indefinite in duration, such as Burn), while a Pokémon with the Self-Curer [[IQ skill]] will have an ailment status duration halved.
 
== Status Conditions ==
In addition to ailments, there are other groupings of status conditions, such as from the effects of moves (such as the Sky Attack status, which is a self-inflicted condition due to the use of {{m|Sky Attack}}), IQ skills (such as the Pierce status from Pierce Thrower), and items (such as Mobile from the [[Mobile Orb]]).
 
=== Sleep-related conditions ===
There are 5 sleep-related conditions in this category, though only Asleep, Napping, and Nightmare are considered ailments.  A Pokémon with the {{a|Early Bird}} ability will have the duration of Asleep, Napping, and Nightmare statuses halved.
 
* '''Asleep''' - The Pokémon does not do anything.  If in the middle of a linked move, the rest of the linked move is skipped.  Items cannot be removed from this Pokémon.  A Pokémon that is already Asleep, Nightmare, or Napping cannot be inflicted with this status.  Lasts 3-6 turns.
* '''Sleepless'''- The Pokémon cannot be inflicted with any other sleep-related condition. Lasts for 11-12 turns.  Typically caused by moves such as {{m|Worry Seed}} or {{m|Uproar}}.
* '''Nightmare''' - This condition can override Asleep and Napping.  This status is otherwise considered identical to Asleep.  Lasts 4-7 turns, after which the Pokémon takes 8HP in damage.  Typically caused by {{m|Nightmare}}.
* '''Yawning''' - The Pokémon will get the Asleep status when this status ends.  Items cannot be removed from this Pokémon.  Lasts 3 turns.  Caused by {{m|Yawn}}.
* '''Napping'''- This condition's duration cannot be overridden if the Pokémon is subsequently inflicted with Asleep, Nightmare, or Napping (though the status itself maybe overridden.  This status is otherwise considered identical to Asleep.  Lasts 2-3 turns, after which status healing occurs.  Caused by {{m|Rest}}.  (Note that the other effect of Rest, the healing of all HP, is ''not'' caused by this status.)
 
=== Major status conditions ===
This category is named as it draws its parallels with the main series.  All the conditions in this category are considered ailments.
 
* '''Burned''' - The Pokémon will lose 5 HP at the end of its next turn, and every 20 turns after that. Pokémon on water tiles cannot be burnt. Burns can be healed by stepping on water tiles (even by Pokémon for which this would normally cause a warp), or the use of specific items.  Lasts indefinitely.
* '''Poisoned''' - The Pokémon will lose 4 HP at the end of its next turn, and every 10 turns after that. Poisoned Pokémon cannot naturally regenerate HP.  Lasts indefinitely.
* '''Badly Poisoned''' - The Pokémon will lose 6 HP at the end of its next turn, and every 2 turns after that.  Like Poisoned Pokémon, Badly Poisoned Pokémon cannot naturally regenerate HP.  Lasts indefinitely

Status ailments and status conditions are considered differently in the Mystery Dungeon games compared to the main series (where the two terms are synonymous). Whereas in the main series a Pokémon can only be afflicted with one major status ailment and a number of volatile minor status ailments, the Mystery Dungeon series allows Pokémon to be afflicted by one status in each of a number of status condition groups. Having said that, not all status conditions are adverse effects (ie. ailments), and status ailments can be caused by factors other than status conditions.

Status Ailments

Status ailments are adverse effects that are placed on a Pokémon. They make up a large subset of status conditions, but only the following categories of conditions are considered ailments:

  • Sleep-related conditions (Asleep, Nightmare, Yawning), except Sleepless and Napping
  • Major status conditions (Burned, Poisoned, Badly Poisoned, Paralyzed)
  • Conditions affecting mobility (Frozen, Leg Hold, Wrapped by Foe, Wrapped Around Foe, Petrified, Constriction), except Ingrain
  • Volatile status conditions (Cringing, Confused, Paused, Cowering, Taunted, Encore, and Infatuated)
  • Cursed and Decoy, but not Snatch
  • Leech Seed, but not Destiny Bond
  • Accuracy-related conditions (Whiffer), but not Sure Shot, Set Damage, and Focus Energy
  • Visibility-related conditions Conditions that treat allies as foes (Blinker, Cross-Eyed), except Eyedrops
  • Muzzled
  • Exposed
  • Perish Song

In addition, loss of Movement Speed and having a sealed move are also ailments, neither of which are considered conditions. A Pokémon must have at least one ailment in order for healing to take effect, and when a Pokémon is healed (such as from items, Aromatherapy, Heal Bell, or stepping on Wonder Tiles), the Pokémon no longer suffers from a status in any of these categories (except Leech Seed, which is not cured). Furthermore, all sealed moves are no longer sealed, and all reductions in movement speed is removed.

A Pokémon with the Natural Cure ability will have an ailment for at most 5 turns (even for those that are indefinite in duration, such as Burn), while a Pokémon with the Self-Curer IQ skill will have an ailment status duration halved.

Status Conditions

In addition to ailments, there are other groupings of status conditions, such as from the effects of moves (such as the Sky Attack status, which is a self-inflicted condition due to the use of Sky Attack), IQ skills (such as the Pierce status from Pierce Thrower), and items (such as Mobile from the Mobile Orb).

Sleep-related conditions

There are 5 sleep-related conditions in this category, though only Asleep, Napping, and Nightmare are considered ailments. A Pokémon with the Early Bird ability will have the duration of Asleep, Napping, and Nightmare statuses halved.

  • Asleep - The Pokémon does not do anything. If in the middle of a linked move, the rest of the linked move is skipped. Items cannot be removed from this Pokémon. A Pokémon that is already Asleep, Nightmare, or Napping cannot be inflicted with this status. Lasts 3-6 turns.
  • Sleepless- The Pokémon cannot be inflicted with any other sleep-related condition. Lasts for 11-12 turns. Typically caused by moves such as Worry Seed or Uproar.
  • Nightmare - This condition can override Asleep and Napping. This status is otherwise considered identical to Asleep. Lasts 4-7 turns, after which the Pokémon takes 8HP in damage. Typically caused by Nightmare.
  • Yawning - The Pokémon will get the Asleep status when this status ends. Items cannot be removed from this Pokémon. Lasts 3 turns. Caused by Yawn.
