Marvel Scale

Generation of first appearance Generation III

The Pokémon’s marvelous scales boost its Defense stat if it has a status condition.

Marvel Scale raises the ability-bearer's Defense by 50% when inflicted by a major status ailment (poison, burn, paralysis, freeze, or sleep).

All effects of the status condition remain, e.g., losing HP each turn (poison, burn), speed drop (paralysis), or being unable to attack (paralysis, freeze, sleep).
