Pokemon Legends: Z-A Is Bringing Back a Forgotten Game Mechanic

In the world of Pokemon, certain moves or abilities can impose Status Effects, which are temporary alterations that impact the target in distinct manners. For instance, conditions such as Poison and Burn cause damage gradually over time, with Burn additionally reducing the physical attack power of the affected Pokemon. Conditions like Sleep, Paralysis, and Freeze don’t inflict extra damage but can incapacitate a Pokemon by preventing them from taking actions during battles. These Status Effects in Pokemon games can be alleviated using items like Antidotes or Full Heals, or by healing at a Pokemon Center.
