Haze (move)

Haze (Japanese: くろいきり Black Mist) is a non-damaging move introduced in Generation I.

It appears to be a status resetting counterpart to, as the type, PP and Japanese names are the same or very similar.

Generation I
Haze resets the stat stages of both active Pokémon to 0 and removes the stat reductions due to s and. It also lifts the effects of and,  and , , , ,  and  from both sides of the field. Additionally, Haze cures and turns  into regular  for both active Pokémon, and also removes any non-volatile status condition from the opponent.

Haze does not remove any non-volatile status ailments that the user has, does not change the generic graphic back to the Pokémon's regular image, and does not reset either Pokémon's current type, moves, or species.

If a or ing opponent has its status removed via Haze, it cannot make a move in the same turn. If a frozen Pokémon that has not recharged from has its freeze status eliminated via Haze, it will remain unable to attack, switch, or do anything else, and nothing will then be able to change this until it faints or is forcefully switched out.

In Stadium, Haze eliminates any major status ailments that the user has.

Generation II onwards
Haze now only resets the stat stages of all active Pokémon on the field to 0.

Haze can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra three appeal points if either the move or  was used in the prior turn.

If powered up by Icium Z into Z-Haze, the user regains all of its HP.
