What determines status conditions affecting your Pokemon?
Okay, so I was just wondering what determines a status condition affecting your Pokemon, For example, what determines when your Pokemon will be unable to move when they have the paralyzed status condition? Or what determines when a Pokemon hurts itself in confusion or if they attack?

for paralysis:
The paralysis condition (PAR) causes a Pokémon to be unable to attack(“fully paralyzed”) a quarter of the time. Additionally, its Speed isreduced to 25% of its previous value (except for Pokémon with theQuick Feet Ability, where this condition raises the Speed by 50%).Many moves that cause paralysis are of the Electric type. Ground-typePokémon can be paralyzed, but not by Electric-type moves or by theBattle Arcade. In Generation V, Pokémon glow yellow when afflictedwith paralysis and their animation will be slowed significantly. As ofGeneration VI, Electric-type Pokémon can no longer be paralyzed
for confusion:» The confused condition causes a Pokémon to hurt itself in its> confusion 50% of the time. The damage is done as if the Pokémon> attacked itself with a 40-power typeless physical attack. Confusion> wears off after 1-4 attacking turns. This means that turns recharging,> such as after using Hyper Beam, and turns unable to attack, such as> from paralysis, will not lower the remaining number of turns of> confusion.

It israndomlydetermined.
Being Paralysed causes a Pokémon to be unable to attack 25% of the time and being Confused causes a Pokémon to hurt itself in it’s confusion 50% of the time for 1-4 turns.
