I understand that you can attempt retreat with a Confused Pokemon and fail, >and then attack. If you do attack and fail, thus doing 20 damage to yourself... >are you still confused, or does it wear off for your next turn. Your Pokemon is STILL confused (and you are STILL frustrated ;-) Confusion stays until the Pokemon is retreated or "healed" in some manner. >2. Poisoned Pokemon receive 10 damage after doing whatever it does, on "your" >turn? Can it recover from Poison? Can a Poisoned Pokemon retreat... and does >this then drop the effect? Poisoned Pokemon receive 10 damage at the end of BOTH PLAYER'S TURNS. This means, your opponent attacks with his Weedle. He inflicts 10 damage from the attack move. He flips a coin and gets heads. Now your pokemon is poisoned. Now, since it is the END OF HIS TURN, your pokemon takes 10 damage from poison. Now it is your turn. Unless you retreat, use Full Heal, Evolve your pokemon, or do something else that would end the Poison, your pokemon will take another 10 damage at the end of your turn. However, you can still Attack and Retreat just like normal with a Poisoned Pokemon (not like sleep, confusion, paralysis). >Thank you Your Welcome, Brian Brokaw
