Forest's Curse (Japanese: もりののろい Forest's Curse) is a non-damaging Grass-type move introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature move of Phantump and Trevenant.

Forest's Curse will fail if the target already posesses a Grass typing.

Trivia

• If a dual-type Pokémon under the effect of Forest's Curse is attacked by a type that is super-effective on both its types as well as Grass, that Pokémon will receive 8x damage. For example, Scizor, which is a Bug/Steel-type, would take 8x damage from a Fire-type attack with the addition of the Grass type.
