    Sooo...

    Sleep, Confuse, Paralyze - What are the ways they can be removed? I know evolve, switch, and retreat remove them. Sleep you can flip a coin, but is that true of confuse and paralyze too?

    Burn and poison - same question?

    Thanks!
     
    The status effects which you turn the Pokemon in a direction cannot be on-top of each other. Poison and Burn use markers, so they can stack together (burn and poison damage.)
    So in total a Pokemon can be:
    Asleep + Burned + Poisoned
    Confused + Burned + Poisoned
    Paralyzed + Burned + Poisoned

    But not:
    Asleep + paralyzed + confused

    If a Pokemon is asleep and is then paralyzed, it becomes paralyzed and replaces the sleep condition.
    An asleep Pokemon must wake up to retreat.
    A paralyzed Pokemon has to wait till the next turn to be back to normal (retreat)
    A confused Pokemon may retreat, but has to flip a coin if it wishes to attack.

    No, sorry, I understand all that...

    I am not asking about stacked conditions... say my pokemon was confused (just confused ;) ). How do I make him unconfused? Same for the others.
     
    Retreating
    Evolving
    Using "Full heal"
    Using a "Super scoop up" and getting heads on the coin flip
    Having a ability which "Ignores special conditions"
     
    Ops :)

    For some reason I thought the same coin flip that sleep used applied to all three. Ah well. Should not have won that last game cause I unconfused my dragon and wiped out his last three pokemon :) Ops.
