Battle Effect

Generation III

The turn Yawn is used the only effect will be the user yawning at the opponent. At the end of the next turn though, the target will fall asleep unless it gets affected by another status condition before or a status-protecting move is used (Safeguard, Uproar).

Yawn will fail immediately if the target is under any other major status condition, when used against a Pokémon having Insomnia or Vital Spirit.
