In battle some Pokemon attacks can cause certain status conditions. Here are those conditions and what they do:
Poison-does 1 dmg every turn during battle until healed.
Paralyze-cannot attack for 2 turns.
Sleep-is asleep. Cannot attack; wakes up after 3 turns.
Confused-does dmg. (the dmg. of the POKEMON's own attack) to self if it uses an attack for 2 turns.
Burn-does 3 dmg. to Pokemon that is Burn every other turn until healed.
Infatuation (caused by moves like Attract)-the Pokemon does not attack every other turn.
Freeze (or Frozen)-the Pokemon is frozen; it cannot attack for 5 turns.
Flinch-if an attack causes you to Flinch, you can't attack on your next turn.
All of these conditions are cured if caused during a battle with a wild Pokemon. If these status conditions are cause in a trainer or gym leader battle you must go to a Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon.
[Don't forget that there are items that can cure these status conditions fast. It's a lot better to heal with an item then to wait 'til the battle is over.]
