Natural-Cure

Natural Cure is an ability in the Pokémon series that allows a Pokémon to automatically heal from all status conditions when it switches out of battle. This makes Pokémon with this ability particularly resilient in longer battles, as they can recover from statuses like Paralysis, Burn, Sleep, Poison, and Freeze without using an item or move.

Effects: When a Pokémon with Natural Cure switches out, any status condition it has is immediately cured. This only applies to status effects that have been inflicted during battle and does not affect stat changes or move restrictions such as Taunt or Encore.

Interesting Facts: 1. Introduced in Generation III: Natural Cure was first introduced in the third generation of Pokémon games (Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire).

Strategic Switching: The ability encourages strategic switching in battles, as it can be used to manage and mitigate status effects without heavy reliance on items like Full Heals or specific berries.
