Refresh/aromatherapy and Gen 9 movesets

Moffu, I agree status conditions are a huge problem. Even before the “removal” of Refresh and Aromatherapy, It was pretty rough on new players. I don’t think It should be required you get certain Pokemon In order to make It bearable
 

This Is true. I did Investigating and asking, so the definitive rules for what has what moves should currently be In this section of the wiki faq. The only thing this doesn’t account for Is the weirdness of reminder moves. According to this thread they’re part of the shard tutor, but apparently some moves aren’t obtainable through It even with that?
 

Generally, I just think that status conditions need to be properly balanced and not be effectively permanent until cured

Besides Poison In like RTDX doing 40 damage for some reason every time It ticks ( only really a problem when I’m doing level reset dungeons ), and niche cases like being put In a Hypnosis loop, status Is hardly too big of a punishment to where you just cannot play once you have a status

Items going through paralysis Instead of still having a chance to be consumed If you are would also be a welcome change. Half the point of throwing Items Is that It lets you attack through paralysis. But due to how some Items are basically just an Item that calls a move, they can still be affected by It
