Safeguard prevents the opposing party from being poisoned on switch-in, but a substitute does not. | ||

| Water Pulse | 60 | 100 | 20 | Has a 20% chance to confuse the target. | ||
| Yawn | - | - | 10 | Causes the target to fall asleep at the end of the next turn. Fails when used if the target cannot fall asleep or if it already has a non-volatile status condition. At the end of the next turn, if the target is still active, does not have a non-volatile status condition, and can fall asleep, it falls asleep.
