Own Tempo (debatable) glitch

Shared by my Bulbapedia friend SnorlaxMonster. It involves Own Tempo and the Confusion status. It might be on their list of glitches. It also occurs in Gen 4 and Sword/Shield according to SnorlaxMonster. From how I gathered it only affected one turn?. SadisticMystic may know more, Edit: Found it there possibly; SnorlaxMonster also explained the glitch to me on Discord. SnorlaxMonster's channel has the SW/SH video.


If a Pokémon with a status condition that has an Ability that cures that status condition (e.g. a paralyzed Pokémon with Limber) is sent into battle as one of the lead Pokémon or to replace a fainted Pokémon, or gains that Ability due to Trace, it will not be cured of its status condition until after a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.). However, it will be immediately cured of the status condition if it is switched in to replace a switched out Pokémon.

Likewise, if a Pokémon with Trace is confused due to obtaining it from Baton Pass, if it gains Own Tempo via Trace it will not be cured of confusion until after a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.).


I'm making a compilation video of the base (underlying) glitch.
