{{Research|Should battle conditions (such as shields and attack charges) count as "status conditions"?}}<!--Pokémon (状態変化) calls them "Status Changes" or "Status Conditions"-->
  ⚫
'''Ailments''' {{j|状態異常|Jōtai ijō|Abnormal condition}}, also known as '''status effects''', are conditions that affects a character or demon during battle. These effects are mostly negative, and while many are volatile and wear off at the end of battle, some will persist while exploring field areas. Some demons are naturally resistant to status effects, either to the associated skill type or to ailments in general (Anti-Ailment).
   
  ⚫
Some skills, such as [[Eternal Rest]], will cause instant death to targets under a specific ailment. The exact effect of a status condition can vary between games.

Decarabia SMT This topic is in need of research for the following reason:
* Should battle conditions (such as shields and attack charges) count as "status conditions"?

This can be discussed on the article's talk page.

Ailments (状態異常, Jōtai ijō)?, also known as status effects, are conditions that affects a character or demon during battle. These effects are mostly negative, and while many are volatile and wear off at the end of battle, some will persist while exploring field areas. Some demons are naturally resistant to status effects, either to the associated skill type or to ailments in general (Anti-Ailment).

Some skills, such as Eternal Rest, will cause instant death to targets under a specific ailment. The exact effect of a status condition can vary between games.

Recurring[]

A list of status effects that appeared in almost all titles in the series:

Name Effect
Freeze In earlier games, Freeze prevents any action in battle and wears off after one turn. In later games, attacking a frozen enemy is guaranteed to cause a critical hit. Usually caused by Ice skills.
Shock In earlier games, Shock prevents any action in battle and wears off after one turn. In later games, attacking a shocked enemy is guaranteed to cause a critical hit. Usually caused by Electricity skills.
Poison Depletes health at the end of each turn, often persisting on the field. Typically removed by Posumudi or Dis-Poison.
Paralyze Paralyzed characters are unable to move. Unlike Shock, this often persists for more than one turn. Typically removed by Paraladi or Dis-Paralyze.
Stun Stunned characters have lowered agility and defense. Typically removed by Paraladi or Dis-Stun.
Mute Prevents use of Magic. Typically removed by Mutudi or Dis-Mute.
Confused Confused characters become indecisive and may either attack a random enemy, do nothing or flee in a panic.
Charm Character begins attacking their own allies or cast healing spells on the enemies. Typically removed with Charmdi or Dis-Charm.
Stone Prevents the target from moving. This persists even on the field and is treated as similar to being dead. In most games, if the protagonist is petrified, it triggers a game over. In some games, Force spells will shatter a petrified opponent.
Sleep Prevents any action in battle. Character loses a turn. In some games, sleeping characters restore some of their HP and MP.
Death Can no longer participate in battle. In most games, if the protagonist dies, it is game over. Can only be recovered with Recarm spells.

Ache After a successful hunt, the character that just ate might get affected by a stomach ache. Occasionally inflicted as a side effect from eating a Moldy Roll.
