Which status do you hate the most?
 
Status like paralysed, poisoned and burned can be really annoying sometimes. Which status do you hate the most?

xDaisuke0 September 22nd, 2010 1:49 AM

Paralyzed as i hate not knowing if i can attack that turn.
Poison's something i love infecting opponents with though lol.

Kip September 22nd, 2010 2:14 AM

I'm not sure if Confusion counts in this context, but if it does then that would be my least favourite. In fact I didn't know until I was playing Platinum that it could be cured with a Full Heal. I guess I always assumed that it didn't work, since Full Heal didn't cure Confusion in the original Red version. ^^'

What? There's a cure for confusion?! All these years, I didn't know that. T_T

There was Antidote, Parlyz Heal, Burn Heal, etc. But there wasn't any "Confusion Heal", so that's why I assumed that Full Heal doesn't work.

Onto the topic, yes, I agree that confusion is the most annoying status ailment and although its 30% chance, it seems to happen most of the time. .__.

You can just switch Pokemon to cure confusion.

Anyway, as for my least favorite statuses: Poison (expecially Toxic poison), paralysis (I hate it when I can't do anything twice in a row) and sleep (it's the most annoying when it lasts the full 4 turns).

LOL! I know but I just forget. xD

curiousnathan September 22nd, 2010 3:00 AM

Probably confusion or parlysis. Both of them get on my nerves escpecially when I'm in a hurry.

Editman September 22nd, 2010 3:13 AM

Man do i hate it when my Pokemon is Paralyzed. I remember in RSE everytime you hit that Mantrick thingie (The Pokemon Watson used) Your Pokemon gets paralyzed.

Dark Pulse94 September 22nd, 2010 3:49 AM

sleep, its ANNOYING!!!

but the combo I love is Parylised+confused+infactuated = its a 1/8 chance that the opponent will attack, let alone hit

Martins September 22nd, 2010 4:19 AM

Paralysis.

I hate not knowing if I am going to attack and I hate that sound it makes. >:{

Bear September 22nd, 2010 4:26 AM

Confusion.

I have no idea why it hasn't been made into a fully fledged stat condition - it's way more iritating that paralysis imo.

Sert908 September 22nd, 2010 4:34 AM

Paralysis, I hate it so [email protected][email protected]!

Mickeycricky September 22nd, 2010 5:58 AM

I can't stand paralysis. That has got to be the worst status ever. It makes you the slowest Pokemon on the field so you always hit last, and then you still have the chance of not being able to move.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ September 22nd, 2010 7:08 AM

Paralysis. Especially since many of my team members are speed-based and having their speed reduced really puts a huge dent in my strategy. And that's even without the whole "you may or may not be able to do a thing" part of paralysis.

Confusion comes a close second. Hurting yourself is not cool.

nm legend September 22nd, 2010 7:38 AM

yea parilysis and being put to sleep really suck.....but to me the worst has to be being frozen....just cuz it rarely happens and its kinda like an insult to my Dragonite just when hes about to sweep the whole team to get frozen....but theres been situations where he thawd out rite away and unleashed hell

Amore September 22nd, 2010 8:45 AM

At the moment...Sleep. The amount of pokemon in HeartGold/SoulSilver that learn it, and suddenly gain 95%+ accuracy, particularly in-game, is extremely frustrating.

However, it usually becomes burn. I tend to favour countering fire with ground/rock, not water, so when I get hit by burn on the switch....

Sydian September 22nd, 2010 11:58 AM

Do not want poison. I'll use it against you, but having a taste of my own medicine sure ain't fun.

SIN1488 September 22nd, 2010 12:06 PM

Confusion, it's almost like being paralyzed, except it does damage too (And doesn't lower speed, at least).

Meadow September 22nd, 2010 12:22 PM

I hate being poisoned, because it's outside of battle, too. I hate confusion because it's a hit or miss.

But the one I hate the MOST is by far, infactuation. It's hard to cure and it's annoying.

Project. September 22nd, 2010 12:25 PM

Confusion and Parylsis. When combined, i almost give up because its so difficult.

oh yea i cant beleive i forgot about my pokemon falling in love then fainting becuase it cant attack......BY FAR THE MOST ANNOYING TO ME

Benjina September 22nd, 2010 1:02 PM

Infatuation sucks ass. It's probably my least favorite.

Daikenki September 22nd, 2010 3:11 PM

Parafusion. >:C

I get paralyzed and confused in the battles more than I get put to sleep, burned, or iced over.

I'm sometimes okay with paralysis because I do pretty well with it, and confusion isn't too bad either, but argh when the opponent makes me have BOTH status ailments I just want to throw my DS at the wall..

Yay fur full heals though. :3 They've saved many a DS phats.

Charizard★ September 22nd, 2010 3:20 PM

Poison. I'd rather my Pokemon sleep then poisoned :/

Project. September 22nd, 2010 3:40 PM

Infatuation is a never-ending confusion.

bwburke94 October 7th, 2010 8:54 AM

Paralysis. It completely ruins my strategy, and it's usually paired with confusion, which means I have a 25% chance to attack. Then you add Attract and a few opposing Double Teams to that...

Pumpkin Fields October 7th, 2010 10:55 AM

Confusion is horrible!
Paralysis is a close second.

Guy October 7th, 2010 10:57 AM

Infatuation, does that count? I see this as the most annoying status effect on a Pokémon, because I can never seem to get an attack in after having one of my Pokémon fall in love. >_>;

If not, then having my Pokémon paralyzed would be my most hated. For some reason I just have terrible luck with it. It has a 30% chance of happening, yet it seems to occur more than it should. :\ While, when I have my opponent paralyzed, it only occurs to them every once in awhile. On top of it all, it slows down your speed, and in most cases, that isn't a good thing; especially if you like to have the first move.

littlekid137 October 7th, 2010 11:21 AM

Burn! Poison I can live with unless it's toxic. Burn decreses your att and def by 10%.. Frozen is another really bad one.

Idiot! October 9th, 2010 6:18 AM

Insert random filler here.

Project. October 9th, 2010 6:27 AM

I can't imagine having Infatuation, Wrap, Confused, and Parylzed at the same time. That would be a pain.

Sweet Candace October 9th, 2010 6:44 AM

Poison. I always hated it. Because I never pack Antidotes/Full Heals. It seemed like I was always haxed. All the attacks that I had a chance to Poison my Pokemon, my Pokemon would be Poisoned every time. -_-

psychomew2 October 9th, 2010 6:53 AM

I would have to say confusion. I seem to hurt myself with that way more often than i should. You would think it wouldnt be that big of a deal seeing as you just need to switch out to get rid of it, but despite that it manages to be a huge pain.

Surigamaru October 9th, 2010 8:13 AM

Confusion. Weirdly enough, whenever I get confused, it always hits me back until I faint , so I have to switch my Pokémon during battle, since it ALWAYS takes time for my confused one to snap out of it. Paralysis is close at second.

LyokoGirl5000 October 9th, 2010 8:23 PM

I hate Paralysis. It's the worst possible condition to have. I hate how it cuts speed in half. Combine it with Confusion to raise your chances of attacking yourself. I hate you, Paralysis.

Myamii October 9th, 2010 11:56 PM

I hate confusion the most, because it's always, "-Random Pokemon- hurt it self in its confusion!" It makes me feel like throwing my DS out the window. >.<

Neelh October 10th, 2010 12:23 AM

Confusion+Poison+Important Battle=DIE!

WonderGirl October 10th, 2010 12:37 AM

1. Sleep
2. Confusion
3. Paralysis

ANNOYING!! ">.<

Eliminator Jr. October 10th, 2010 1:20 AM

The most annoying status condition is definitely confusion, closely followed by attraction. Confusion is worse because you have the chance of hitting yourself and it's more common, but both are incredibly irritating in battles.

mondays suck October 10th, 2010 2:33 AM

Paralysis. Why paralysis by itself is, while really annoying, not that bad, it always leads to annoying combos like Parafusion, Paraflinch and whatnot. And these are the worst things that can happen to you in Pokemon. Sure, you can make such combos with every status, but they just seem to work best this way.

JessiexJackknife October 10th, 2010 6:27 AM

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

Also paralysis.


Gardenia101 October 10th, 2010 7:27 AM

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...

©ereal Killer October 10th, 2010 7:58 AM

Confusion @[email protected]

And then comes Infatuation

Clark October 10th, 2010 10:24 AM

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.

BHwolfgang October 10th, 2010 10:49 AM

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.

o0PinkSquid0o October 14th, 2010 5:52 PM

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

King Gumball October 14th, 2010 9:48 PM

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

Amore October 15th, 2010 11:08 AM

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.

RulerArceus October 15th, 2010 11:32 AM

Love and Freeze.
GOD these are so annoying.

La Denryu October 16th, 2010 6:27 PM

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 October 17th, 2010 5:43 PM

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

Ho-Oh October 18th, 2010 1:08 AM

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 October 18th, 2010 1:10 AM

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 October 18th, 2010 1:56 AM

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 October 18th, 2010 1:58 AM

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 October 22nd, 2010 3:20 PM

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

Balalaika October 22nd, 2010 5:47 PM

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

Brendino October 24th, 2010 1:19 AM

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 October 27th, 2010 6:20 AM

Mine would have to be Infatuation.

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

Mokonist October 28th, 2010 8:43 PM

Definitely, Paralysis and confusion.

Demigod October 29th, 2010 9:59 AM

Definitely being burned as the attack decreases.

TheRkyeet October 29th, 2010 11:18 AM

Infatuation!!!
despite being easy to fix, I hate the forced switch out. Especially when paired with paralysis.

kw2tsg1 October 29th, 2010 11:30 AM

I mostly dislike paralysis because of the fact that you never know whether the attack succeeds or fails.

Garouga! Bare Your Fangs! October 29th, 2010 12:11 PM

Poisoned, by far. Hit-or-miss statuses don't bother me that much 'cause at least you stay safe, but with poison it's just plain annoying to have your Pokemon's HP hit zero JUST as you walk up to the counter in the Pokemon Center. Plus, I'm not one to buy Antidotes 'cause I'm a money hoarder.

ManhattanTheStarr October 30th, 2010 2:19 AM

Ugh, definitely Paralysis and Confusion. ><

I just pisses me off sooo much whenever I hear "-insert Pokemon name here- hurt itself in its own confusion!" I mean, seriously? Why the HELL would you hurt yourself because you're confused? That doesn't even make sense! XD

And Paralysis....uuuughhh. I get so nervous whenever my turn comes to move since I don't even know if my Pokemon will move or not. :< And I hate that little noise that comes up whenever you don't move. 3:<

Kikaito plush October 30th, 2010 2:22 AM

that's an easy one poison in the earlier games, but now it's sleep.

M o n s t e R October 30th, 2010 3:17 AM

Paralysis and Infatuation are my most annoying.

Prometheus October 30th, 2010 4:22 AM

Confuse, It ain't really a Status but you can't cure it.

SiReNzZ October 30th, 2010 9:56 AM

I hate sleep, seriously it's so annoying lol.
Also confusion can be annoying too.

WriteThemWrong October 30th, 2010 10:23 AM

infatuation is the most annoying to me. poison would be next because of the stupid effect and sound it makes while walking around

Lupus October 31st, 2010 8:45 AM

Confusion is horrible. Paralysis is pretty bad too.


Kevin October 31st, 2010 10:51 AM

Ugh it's Poison for sure. Why? Sleep and paralyze don't harm your Pokemon, and burn doesn't harm your Pokemon OUTSIDE of battle. And Poison does Dx

Also confusion is also annoying, but if you switch it then switch it back it's gone. (=

FilbertTheFox October 31st, 2010 11:20 AM

Confusion because it seems like its 90% chance for me :/

Strout October 31st, 2010 1:28 PM

Confusion. Or paralysis. Hmm.


mikey October 31st, 2010 4:34 PM

Confusion! I hate it so much. My pokemon always love to hit themselves >.>

The Corrupt Plague October 31st, 2010 6:53 PM

I would have to say Toxic. Regular poison is already bad enough, but it gets even worse when the effect multiplies. My dishonorable mention after this would be Parafusion, or paralysis combined with confusion. Get that one on your last pokemon and you are effectively screwed because you will be slowed down and prevented from attacking in the most annoying way possible.

Rucario November 1st, 2010 5:40 AM

"Quilava is immobilized by love. ROFLcopter."

I hate being immobilized by love, confused, and Poisoned is rather annoying as well. I think the worst is being immobilized because my Quilava has a crush on Whitney's Miltank and can't move. So being immobilized wins.

gregory_turner420 November 1st, 2010 8:09 AM

confusion. its a pain in the but

DarkVhozon November 1st, 2010 11:58 AM

lol mine would have to be attraction beacuse the pokemon that have it r almost always female(at least in my experience) and 50% is kind of a big percentile. After that it would be Burn, since it is just a harmful a regular poison and it reduces Attack by 1/3 if im not mistaken, correct me if im wrong, and my favorite pokemon all have usually have VERY high Attacking stats

Espeonrules November 2nd, 2010 5:50 PM

POISON. I hate that status condition so much. I've had a lot of bad experiences with Pokes that use Toxic and ones with Poison Point. Ugh. Thank god they took away the thing where every 5 steps outside of battle your Pokemon would lose HP if they were poisoned in Gen. V.

Zero° November 2nd, 2010 5:55 PM

Paralysis is a pain, especially when mixed in with confusion. Makes it almost impossible for my Pokemon to use a move.

avolonsaber November 2nd, 2010 6:51 PM

I HATE Poison, with a freaking passion. Burns don't prevent attacking, and don't do all that much damage. I mean there's no "[insert Pokemon name] was badly burned", at least I don't think there is? Maybe I'm just lucky, but I can almost always attack when my Pokemon are Paralyzed, it stops me from attacking so little that I don't even consider it an annoyance. Confusion is pretty annoying because it prevents attacks from connecting and makes my Pokemon take damage, but it doesn't happen enough for me to hate it. Poison though, its different. You can still attack while poisoned, so there's that hope that you can still win the battle despite the fact that your Pokemon are loosing HP. There's Toxic Poison too, which gives you that same hope, then takes it away because your Pokemon start loosing lots of HP. Finally, Poison just seems so messed up. I mean it sounds worse then "[insert Pokemon name] was Burned/Confused" and the screen does that little flicker thing, which is like the game basically saying "hurry, hurry! You're Pokemon will faint soon, hurry!"

da_absol November 2nd, 2010 8:08 PM

I hate badly poisoned like hell. It annoys the heck out of me..

AntiZero November 3rd, 2010 5:28 PM

Confusion, mostly.

For statuses that last after the battle, though, I would have to say Paralysis.
It really annoys me when my Pokemon is a full HP, but Paralyzed. >:(

angel November 3rd, 2010 5:38 PM

I hate frozen. With sleep you can use Sleep Talk, & with burn, Poison you can use a berry or item.

Roxichu November 3rd, 2010 6:05 PM

Confusion, I hate gambling with my Pokémon's HP and switching it out and losing a turn is a pain.

Skylands November 4th, 2010 5:17 PM

Paralysis. It's common and your Pokemon can't recover from it by itself. Confusion annoys me as well, but that only lasts for a few turns.

Black Prince November 5th, 2010 1:18 AM

Sleep and Confusion are my enemies ! >:C
I really hate it when my pokemon is asleep or if it hits itself in its confusion. This is mostly because I never think about buying some remedies for the statu (Sleep), I should do though, I will.
And as the time your pokemon's confused depends of the pokemon itself, I always prefer to wait for it to feel better...

Count November 6th, 2010 8:31 AM

Confusion... but infatuation gets on my nerves as well. v.v

WilowWisp November 6th, 2010 8:50 AM

Ever since I battled Whitney, infatuation infuriates me. My team on Soul Silver is male, save for my Bellsprout. -_-
Confusion also irks me. I say its the most damaging, or at least it can be.
Poison gets to me...I hate seeing the pokemon on my team being poisoned, I can't stand to see them suffer like that. :( Any status problem for that matter. I spend a good amount of $ on Full Heals for that reason.

RivalGator November 6th, 2010 9:12 AM

I hate poison because it keeps lowering my life the longer it goes. Poison and infatuation seem to be my biggest weaknesses... Or being frozen. My Pokemon always tend to have a way to not get defeated by confusion.
