So I got Shaymin, and it holds a Heal Ribbon and is level 62. I have this problem that while we're exploring, it just stops moving and when confronted by a Pokemon, it's attacks do only 1 damage, despite it doing more on all Pokemon. What's wrong?

I got the answer.

It's the Heal Ribbon. In exchange for faster HP regeneration, my Shaymin lost it's belly stat and it went to zero, making it get the "Hungry Pal" status. Upon infliction of this status, the damage of all moves used is reduced to 1, and the partner is immobile. To prevent this event occuring, the Heal Ribbon can be removed, and thus will not affect the Pokemon, same case as Munchlax and Snorlax's "Munch Belt".

OMG I didn't know you could answer your own question!!!!!!!!!
You shouldn't though. I know that makes me sound kinda hypocrite-ish but I thought yeah we don't need another unanswered question.
