Out of battle: None

Learn about 'None' in Pokémon Platinum, including its implications for effort levels, move types, and Pokémon abilities. This guide covers status effects and more.

The term 'None' in Pokémon Platinum typically refers to the absence of a specific status effect, ability, or item. This can be relevant in various contexts, such as when a Pokémon is not afflicted by any status conditions (e.g., Burn, Poison, Paralysis) or when an ability or move has no effect.

Effort Levels: While not directly tied to 'None', understanding effort levels is crucial for Pokémon training. These are hidden values that increase a Pokémon's stats as it battles and gains experience.

Move Types and Effects:

• Status Moves: Moves like Will-O-Wisp (Fire-type) inflict status conditions. If a Pokémon is unaffected by such a move, it's effectively 'None' in terms of status.
• Physical/Special Moves: Moves like Shadow Sneak (Ghost-type, Physical) or Future Sight (Psychic-type, Special) have direct damage effects. 'None' would indicate these moves have no impact, perhaps due to immunities or abilities.
• Pursuit: A Dark-type Physical move that can have varied effects depending on the situation.

Pokémon Example: Haunter

A Lv.24 Female Haunter with the Ghost/Poison typing and the Levitate ability is presented. Levitate grants immunity to Ground-type moves, meaning these moves would have 'None' effect on Haunter.
