Most Annoying Status Problem?

    Whenever you battle a trainer, or any Pokemon for that matter, you could be at risk for obtaining a Status Problem. These include becoming Poisoned, Paralyzed, Frozen, Confused, Burned, or put to Sleep.

    My question to you is which one of these Status Problems do you find the most annoying?

    I find Confusion the most annoying, because my Pokemon always hit themselves when I need them most >.>

    Paralyzing.

    As least Sleep and Confusion wear off, this little bugger doesn't <.<

    Sleep because you are pretty much helpless enless you are able to heal the status.

    I got completely Sleep haxed the other day, so right now, I'm a big sleep hater.

    The confusion AND paralyzing combo various trainers use. It is just simply annoying. Espically in a Wi-fi battle because you cannot use items (unless in B/W) But seriously, that is the worst combo of status'.

    Of the main status problems, the most annoying is Paralysis, due to the fact that it never stops. But combined with Infatuation, You get about a 40% change to attack each turn, and with Confusion in play, I think you have a 10% chance to attack. If I'm wrong then just correct me.

    Paralyze for me, folowed closely by Confusion. The Speed drop when paralyzed really seems to cripple my team more than the Confusion backlash.

    Which is why I hate the Static ability with a passion.

    Being asleep/confused for 4 turns, being paralyzed and confused at the same time and infatuation in tandem with other statuses are what really annoy me.

    I too hate Confusion the most not only because you do damage to yourself, but because I never seem to be able to avoid it even when i try. :/

    Freeze, because you can't do anything until it thaws. This somewhat goes for sleep too but it feels like sleep wears off faster.

    At least with paralysis and confusion you still have a chance of attacking. Confusion can be rid by switching out too.
    With freeze you're left sitting there waiting for what feels like forever taking damage like crazy especailly in Wifi.
    I swear Wifi is the ONLY place it happens to me too, never in-game. D<

    Going by experience rather than numbers and statistics:

    ATTRACT. I mean, sure, you didn't list it, but it is my bane. I'm glad it doesn't come up all that often, if at all, as it always works against me. Using it myself is the usual hit-or-miss though, but I certainly wouldn't mind using it if I can.

    CONFUSION takes a close second, and it's much more common. I have no luck with it with some of my team, so I just switch out Pokemon or use Confuse Ray right off the bat. :U

    Sleep because you're stuck with it unless you cure or wait for it to wear off, or poison because it still does damage outside of battle.
