Confusion (status condition)

Confusion, also known as Confused, is a status condition.
==Description==
A confused Pokémon has a 50% chance of hurting itself from Generation I to Generation VI, even if the attack is non-damaging; this was reduced to 33 percent in Generation VII. Recalling the Pokémon or switching it out will stop the confusion. In Generation III, there is a cartoonish effect of ducks swirling around the confused Pokémon. Confusion does not have a symbol associated with it.

====Pokémon Stadium series====
In Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2, confusion has the same effect as in the core series: the Pokémon has a 50% chance of hurting itself, even if the attack is non-damaging.
====Pokémon Trading Card Game series====
In Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon Card GB2 Here Comes Team Great Rocket!, if a Pokémon is confused, you must flip a coin before attacking. If on Heads, you may proceed with the attack. On Tails, place three damage counters on the Pokémon. Unless replaced with Asleep or Paralyzed, it is only cured by retreating or evolving. When the Pokémon is Confused, it is turned upside-down.
These exact rules are present in the Pokémon Trading Card Game itself.
====Pokémon Battle Revolution====
Confusion has the same effect in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
