Pokémon with this Ability are unaffected by other Pokémon's status moves. It does not block status moves that target the user; the other side of the field, such as Stealth Rock; or all Pokémon, such as Haze. It does, however, block potentially beneficial status moves from ally Pokémon, such as Helping Hand, Life Dew, and Howl.
If targeting a Pokémon with Good as Gold:
- Memento fails, and the user does not faint.
- Curse used by a Ghost type fails without deducting HP from the user of Curse.
- Strength Sap fails without even restoring the user's HP.
- Transform does not affect the target but will still fail.
- Spite fails without reducing the previously used move's PP.
- Leech Seed fails and does not set the target as seeded.
