Perish Song (Japanese: ほろびのうた Perish Song) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

All Pokémon on the field when Perish Song is used become affected by it, except Pokémon with the Ability Soundproof; these Pokémon faint at the end of the third turn after being affected. If an affected Pokémon switches out with Baton Pass, Perish Song will still affect the Pokémon switched in, even if it has the Ability Soundproof.

Since it does not do damage, Perish Song is unaffected by items such as the Focus Sash and Abilities such as Magic Guard.

Mystery Dungeon

Any Pokémon in the player's Rescue Party affected by Perish Song will faint in 3 turns. However, it can be prevented by entering the stairs to the next floor or by sending home an affected partner before the third turn. It can also be prevented via any move, Ability, or item that heals all status effects (as opposed to a particular status effect), such as Heal Bell, Shed Skin, or a Heal Seed.
