  • PARALYSIS! Man I hate it!! Especially when playing Challenges such as battle towers. You get to win at last, however paralysis negates your move and the opponents strikes with a super-effective move again and finishes me. Always happens..It annoying as hell. Poison, Sleep, Freeze, all are not a bother, Paralysis is, SINCE IT IS EVER LASTING!

    Confusion is the worst, because as someone said earlier, it works in combination with other effects. ParaFusing is a nearly deadly combo, considering as how you have a one in three chance of attacking, not moving, or hurting yourself AND not moving.

    That being said, I use it all the time.

  • Confusion, hands down. It's so annoying having your pokemon faint cause it hit itself two times in a row.

  • Confusion. My pokemon always hit themselves when I don't want them too, yet the opposing pokemon are fine when they are confused. Also, confusion+paralysis=deadliest combo, IMO.

  • Confusion without a doubt, you always seem to get hurt and it always seems to last forever! for me anyway :/ followed shortly by sleep then paralyze. Frozen & Burnt aren't all too bad.

  • Confusion for me. The reason for this is because I tend to hit myself most of the time especially in Pokemon Black and White. My percentage of me hitting myself is a far 90% to 10% -_-"

  • The ones I hate the most are paralysis and confusion, especially if you combine the two. It lowers your speed AND you have to be very lucky if you want to get in a single attack. Think you can switch out of confusion? Sucks for you if your opponent uses Mean Look! By this point, you will be wishing for your crippled pokemon to just faint already.

    I really hate poison because it does damage to you in and out of battle.

  • What I hate is when your paralyzed AND confused. First you'll finally see the "Hydreigon snapped out of confusion!" message, but then you're crushed when it says "Hydreigon is paralyzed! It can't move!"

    Needless to say, my Hydreigon now always has a Lum Berry. :3

    Freeze and Attraction, tbh. Freeze is so random and stupid and it renders you immobile for like... idek but I know I've been frozen for at least eight turns at one point in a match, enough for the opponent to set up and KO me because they froze my counter. :(

    Attract is incredibly annoying, especially since it comes with that 50% chance to render you absolutely useless for a turn. :( I mean, I try to vary genders in the first place anyway but STILL, it's annoying in-game. That and Confusion... ;-;

  • Sleep is one of those status changes that like to throw me off a lot. I hate having to wait about 5 turns for the Pokemon to wake up. Confusion and Paralysis also frustrate me as well.

    Actually, confusion can be cured by a Full Heal, Persim Berry, Full Restore, Lava Cookie, Casteliacone, or Old Gateau if you use it in battle.
    I did say "that's back when I played Pocket Monsters, at least".
    Only had full heal and full restore for much of that time, which are relatively expensive... but I never knew that, so that's good to hear, thanks anyway.

    Confusion and Paralysis for me, definitely. I always have the absolute worst luck with those, and my Pokemon almost always either hits itself or can't move. It's so frustrating.

    I swear confusion got worse in BW... I always seem to get hit now. Before it was sleep, now it's definitely confusion.

    Plus the flying ducks. They were cool in Gen IV, now they're fugly.
