Field effects affect Pokémon during battle. Unlike status conditions, field effects affect all Pokémon in a specific part of the battlefield instead of a specific Pokémon.

Whole field

Environment

Every battlefield has an environment that depends on where the battle is. The environment can be temporarily changed to one of the terrains listed below, but it will always revert to the initial environment when the terrain wears off. All environments affect moves that vary with environment, and the four terrains listed below have additional effects.

Electric Terrain

Increases the power of Electric-type moves used by Pokémon on the ground by 50%. Prevents Pokémon on the ground from falling asleep and being afflicted by Yawn.

Grassy Terrain

Increases the power of Grass-type moves used by Pokémon on the ground by 50%. Restores 1/16 HP to all Pokémon on the ground each turn. Halves the damage taken from Bulldoze, Earthquake, and Magnitude.

Misty Terrain

Halves the damage taken by Pokémon on the ground from Dragon-type moves. Prevents Pokémon on the ground from being afflicted with status conditions; in Generation VII, also protects from confusion.

Psychic Terrain

Increases the power of Psychic-type moves used by Pokémon on the ground by 50%. Prevents Pokémon on the ground from being hit by moves with increased priority.

Pledges

A pledge effect appears on one side of the field when two allies use pledge moves on the same turn. The effect lasts for 4 turns.

Swamp

This is caused by Water Pledge and Grass Pledge. It quarters the Speed of all opponents.

Sea of Fire

This is caused by Grass Pledge and Fire Pledge. All non-Fire-type opponents lose ¹/₈ of their maximum HP at the end of each turn.

Rainbow

This is caused by Fire Pledge and Water Pledge. It doubles the probabilities of secondary effects of moves used on the user's side of the field.

Screens

All screens reduce damage done to anyone on the user's side of the field. They do not reduce damage done by self-inflicted confusion damage, critical hits, or moves that deal direct damage. Screens are removed from a Pokémon's side of the field if it is hit by Brick Break, Defog or Psychic Fangs. Pokémon with the Ability Infiltrator ignore the effects of screens when attacking. Screens usually wear off after 5 turns, but the duration is extended to 8 turns if the screen was set by a Pokémon holding a Light Clay.

One Pokémon

Healing Wish

The first Pokémon to enter a spot where Healing Wish or Lunar Dance was used will have its HP and non-volatile status conditions restored.

Leech Seed

Main article: Leech Seed (move)

When a Pokémon is seeded by Leech Seed, it loses ¹/₈ of its maximum HP each turn. Half of that loss is used to heal the Pokémon occupying the spot where Leech Seed was used. If that spot is empty (because the Pokémon there fainted earlier that turn), then the seeded Pokémon does not lose HP that turn. If the user seeded itself because its target used Magic Coat or had Magic Bounce, then the seeded Pokémon heals whichever Pokémon occupies the spot where the Magic Coat or Magic Bounce user was when Leech Seed was used.

Wish

Main article: Wish (move)

One turn after a Pokémon uses Wish, the Pokémon occupying the spot where Wish was used gets healed. Until then, Wish fails when used by that Pokémon.
