I've read one of the other crystals prevents status ailments. I may try that one. If it works 100% of the time, that means no poison or paralysis. It could make the game a lot faster.
Generation 2 has something similar only it's worse, since it's unlimited. Hughs Sulfur attack works on the Dark Force and Motherbrain, allowing you to paralyze them every 3 turns. If played right they should never get another attack after the first 2 rounds.
Also I don't think the cure crystal prevents status effects, it just cures them after each round. I'm not sure it's effective at all against paralysis though, you still may need to get a turn.
