most annoying status conditions

Confusion and burn. And then confusion and paralysis AT THE SAME TIME. That seems to happen to me a lot more often than is statistically probable.
 
i think sleep is the worst becuse your pokemon cant do anything!

Probably Burn, because I usually run Physical attacking Pokemon and having them crippled completely is the worst
 
I hate beeing frozen and asleep. I hate sleep especially when they have dream eater.
 
In game? Poison. Poison Sting ALWAYS poisons me.

Competitive and such? Sleep is stupidly stupid with its new mechanic and Paralyze is annoying.
 
Confusion and infatuation. When ever the opponant gets those, they always seem to hit no matter what.
 
I'm gonna go against the grain and say Paralysis. It's soo annoying to have a permanent speed handicap that also prevents some of your attacks from hitting (supposedly it's 25%, but it feels more like 40-50%).

Confusion is the worse, 'cause most of the time, luck is absent, and I hit myself.

Toss in paralysis and it's a lose-lose situation, especially if you're lucky enough to bypass the confusion only to be paralyzed.
 
Paralysis, confusion, and infatuation. The rest are fairly mild on the annoying scale.
 
Paralysis for me, and confusion comes second even though it's not really a status. Paralysis bugs the living hell out of me and especially when the opponent is almost finished off, it gives you such a big handicap.

The difference for me between sleep/freeze and paralysis is, that sleep and freeze will wear off in a few turns and then you'll be fully able again, but paralysis disables you for such a great part until you use something like a berry, which wastes a turn and that is very annoying. I don't really mind Poison or Burn as well, cause it doesn't give you a handicap like Paralysis does.

Also, Paralysis + Confusion is insta switch out >__>

Actually, it is a status condition. It's referred to as a Volitile status condition, because it wears off when a pokemon is switched out or the battle ends. Volitile status conditions include things like confusion, infatuation, leech seed, curse, etc. It's all on Bulbapedia.
 
Paralysis and confusion, confusion is awful, imagine this:

Your charizard is down to red,15 health left, then your opponent uses confuse ray,as you try to use your move and BAM the retard hit's himself and you just lost the battle.

Imagine the same but getting paralyzed and then getting attacked.

Really? I didn't know, well in that case I say infatuation is a third, even though you can switch it out, you're immobilized for like 80% of the time, it seems so at least.
 
Put it in away that it only gets annoying for me when I get a combination of them. Worst one for me would Paralyzed + Confused + Mean Look + Opponent maxed out double team/ minimize or something that increases evasiveness as well as no Full heals -.-
