** Confusion is pretty much the only status ailment in the Pokemon series that can stack with other status effects, and it's also one of only a few that couldn't be cured by some sort of item (at least not in the first generation of games; Full Restores, Full Heals or Max Revives can cure it in subsequent generations). It also seems to have the largest number of moves that can cause it, at least when fighting computers... |

** In the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'' games, confusion makes you move and attack in random directions until it wears off. However, you can still throw items in whatever direction you want, including projectile items. |

** In the card game, if a confused Pokémon tries to attack, its owner must flip a coin. If the flip lands on tails, it does 30 damage to itself. Like in the games, switching it out cures it. |
