Status Ailment

Status ailments are effects that impair a Loomian during battle.

Non-volatile ailments

Non-volatile ailments are ailments that a Loomian keeps outside of battle and while switched out. A Loomian already affected by a non-volatile ailment cannot receive a new one.

Cures

These ailments can be removed by different types of medicine, moves that generally cure ailments such as Wonder Herb, or treatment at a Loomian Care facility. When affected by a non-volatile ailment, a Loomian has an icon displaying which ailment it is. Loomians with the Ability Immunized are immune to all non-volatile ailments and Loomians with the Ability Mysterious Cloak are not affected by any effects of status ailments that may damage them residually. The Mysterious Dust item has a 1/3 (33.33%) chance of curing a Loomian of a status ailment and is purchasable in the Colosseum Marketplace for 48 CP.

Sleep	Makes a Loomian unable to use moves on their turn. When a Loomian wakes up, they are able to use a move that turn. It lasts 1–3 turns normally, except for Beast's Slumber, which makes the user sleep for exactly 3 turns. The Loomian affected by this status ailment may wake up if attacked by any Loomian in battle.

Volatile ailments

Volatile ailments are ailments that a Loomian is cured of after battle or when switching out. Loomians can be affected by multiple volatile ailments at the same time. There is no icon indicator for being affected by this kind of ailment.

List

Many volatile ailments are unique to one move, but some can be inflicted by a multitude of moves and are underlined in the table.

Ailment	Description
Beast's Slumber	In addition to inflicting Sleep, Beast's Slumber restores ⅓ of the max Health and ¼ of the max Energy of the user each turn while asleep and raises the user's Melee and Ranged Defenses by one stage. Drops the user's Melee and Ranged Defense by one stage when it wakes up.
Blood Drain	Blood Drain, in addition to its initial effect, drains the target's health each turn.
Cannot Retreat	A Loomian that cannot retreat is prevented from being switched out or using Run as long as the Loomian that trapped it is on the field.

Déjà Vu	Déjà Vu forces the afflicted Loomian to use the same move it used the previous turn for three turns.

Trivia

• If a Loomian is afflicted with the sleep or paralysis status ailments, escapes a Capture Disc, and is unable to move, a minor glitch will occur where the camera won't zoom back out, and it will remain in this state until the turn is over.
