In-battle effect

Every Pokémon is given a counter that starts at 3 and decreases by 1 at the end of every turn, including this one. When a Pokémon’s counter reaches zero, that Pokémon faints. A Pokémon that leaves the field will lose its counter; its replacement does not inherit the effect, and other Pokémon’s counters remain. This effect is passed on by Baton Pass. This move cannot be copied by Mirror Move.

Changes across generations

Perish Song had different stats in earlier games. A dash means that value was unchanged from what it is today, and an arrow marks what happened when that era ended — ▲ raised or ▼ lowered.
