Which status do you hate the most?

[JessiexJackknife]

Confusion annoys the hell outa me. It's so iffy, and my 'mons tend to get the worse 50%.

Also paralysis.

DEFINITELY Paralysis. My Torterra's speed doesn't need to be worse.... Besides, it's hard to have strategy when every turn depends on luck. And there's no way to heal it if you don't have Aromatherapy or something in competitive battling...

Confusion @____@

And then comes Infatuation ♥

Freeze is my least favorite. It's just... ugggh. There's no move that automatically inflicts it, and it's pretty unreliable. So I can't actually make use of it myself like I can all the other status effects. On the rare occasion I do see a Pokemon frozen solid, it's usually my own, and in the worst situation ever. Like I'll be on PBR's random wifi or something and be on my last Pokemon when suddenly I end up frozen thanks to a lucky Ice Beam. And lose simply because I was incapable of doing anything whatsoever for eight turns. I just always feel so cheated when that happens. There's nothing you can do most of the time but sit there and watch your Pokemon faint. xD;

As for the rest of them, I actually like them more than I dislike them. I use them in my teams all the time. Particularly Paralyzis, more for the speed-reduction side effect than for the chance of not attacking. I don't use many super-fast Pokemon, so it's nice to take advantage of that.

Sleep. My Pokemons seem to always be caught in this condition. Once they fall asleep, it lasts for around four turns. Four turns is a long time, and they usually are in critical condition or had already fainted one turn ago.

There is also Freeze, but it's rare to get a Pokemon frozen solid. In my whole lifetime, I've only seen three Pokemons getting frozen. They were all my Pokemons, and it sucked each time.

For me its a tie between sleep and paralyze! they're both a pain in the butt

 

[King Gumball]

I hate Confusion the most. My pokemon always hurts itself then dies >.<

 

[Amore]

I've only ever been frozen once...unknowingly, I'd saved myself by selecting Flame Wheel that turn anyway xD...so that doesn't irritate me.

Like Hiiro said, paralysis and infatuation are the worst. I have horrendous luck with infatuaution, except against Whitney....paralysis is really bad.

I seem to have a 70% chance of being paralysed, and also, my strategies always involve either moving first, because otherwise I get OHKO'd, or being slow, bulky, and hitting hard, in which case paralysis lets them whittle down my health.

Poison and Burn I can live with, as everywhere outside Johto I favour special attacks (especially Gen III, where I use dragon, grass, water, electric and ice a lot more), and overall I always favour steel-types. I also seem to have good luck with confusion, so that doesn't bother me much.

Love and Freeze.
GOD these are so annoying.

Confusion. DEEEERP Where's the enemy?? I am so confused, I don't know anymore! MAYBE I'M THE ENEMY???

Sleep is better, because you can always use a flute.

^LOL! :cer_laugh: That statement perfectly describes the confusion status!:cer_nod:

Paralysis, confusion, and infatuation are the top two for me. Theoretically, once you've been paralyzed (which is permanent without a remedy readily available, unlike Sleep, which wears off easier via time or Poke Flute; and Freeze, which wears off with time/Fire-moves, etc.), the [Pokemon] is unable to move!" event can occur each turn, rendering your Pokemon virtually useless as the foe slowly chips away freely at its HP. :cer_pissed:

Confusion is annoying as well, partially due to the quoted reason, and also because you can be pretty screwed over if you managed to buff your Attack but still have crappy Defense (as the damage is based off of those two stats of the Pokemon in question). :(

Infatuation can be annoying on your Pokemon during battle if it afflicts you because it's basically confusion without the damage (that, and it repeatedly makes me wonder/question if my Pokemon truly "adores" me like that lady in Verdanturf Town always claims when it becomes paralyzed/refuses my orders just because of an opposite-gendered Pokemon... :\)

 

[bOxieLiciOus]

sleep and paralysis, they're making the battle annoying and longer which pisses me off. ;;<

 

[Ho-Oh]

Poisoned. Really, I'm fine with being asleep and paralysed, but I hate how toxic drains your HP and uuugh. Though confusion is annoying, usually my Pokemon aren't that confused and the stronger ones get out of confusion easier for some reason.

 

[Sho7gun]

badly poisoned has got to be the worst, I know i curse at things like swagger & thunder wave but at least im not losing an incremental ammount of health every turn! lol

 

[dragoniteuser]

Infatuation and Frozen!
God I hato those two! With infatuation you never know when it's gonna attack, and when it's frozen, you never knoe when it's gonna defrost!!! O.o

 

[Sho7gun]

this is a good point! thats why I try and use as many genderless monsters as possible! with freeze......yea thats just damn cold :)

 

[Dooonerz]

Poison. It just doesn't go away with out a heal, and it always just.... there >.>

 

[Balalaika]

Poisoned, I become overly excited whenever I survive a poison sting. :u

 

[Brendino]

My least favourite are confusion and being poisoned. I hate having to use an item to make confusion go away when it cures itself after a while, and I don't like poison because it constantly makes you lose HP, even after battle.

 

[Krizor]

Mine would have to be Infatuation.

I like most of my Pokemon to be Male, so it can cause serious problems for me.
