I'm not sure if '???' can be a type. Especially when basing it off a Creepypasta (Yes, I am familiar with many Pokemon creepypastas), and if it had to be a type, I'd go with Ghost.

The move in itself seems a bit OP, but it depends on the definition of 'all Pokemon on the battlefield'. If it only affects the opponents and not the user, it is a little much. However, if it affects the user as well, then it becomes a fair gamble, as you are risking your own status.

If the move affects the user as well as opponents, I find the move fit for approval. If it does not, then you're going to have to find a way to tone it down a little.

the problem is that there isn't any type. it's whatever type the status inflicts.

Poison=inflict poison
Electric=inflict paralyze
Normal=inflict sleep
Ghost=inflict confuse
Ice=inflict freeze

so, it all depends on what it inflicts XD

I'm going to have to go with Ava on this. @.@ This type of move is kind of OP.

Someone edited my psot an took this out:
It does hit every Pokemon out, including the user.

>_> It would have a message on the bottom that says "Last edited by..." if it were edited by someone.

Anyway, why is the type ??? The move Curse was a special move to have that. It was different depending on whether it was a ghost type or not. Is there something similar to that? It just says inflicts a random status problem.

I've seen edits without that, admins can stop that if they wanted to. And it's really not easy to explain. It gives out a random status effect t EVERY POKEMON ON THE FIELD, including the user and its partner(s).

Random status to every Pokémon on the field. Too powerful.
