Status Condition Changes

With Pokémon Legends: Z-A's new battle system, in addition to the moves changing how they function, the status conditions have also had a little bit of a rework. First, the Sleep status has been removed from the game and the Drowsy status condition makes a return which affects the Pokémon in a different way.

All other Status Conditions have returned.
