Flavor text

Cursed Body (Japanese: のろわれボディ Cursed Body) is an Ability introduced in Generation V.
Effect
In battle
If the Pokémon with this Ability is hit by an opponent's damaging move, Cursed Body has a 30% chance of disabling that move for 3 turns (including the turn Cursed Body activates). Cursed Body can activate even if the attacker is behind a substitute or if the Pokémon with Cursed Body is knocked out, but will not activate if the Pokémon with Cursed Body is behind a substitute.
If Cursed Body disables a multi-strike move before it has finished all of its hits, it will not prevent the other hits from being executed. Cursed Body can disable a move that calls another move if the called move dealt damage.
Cursed Body can disable a Z-Move even though they are only able to be used once per battle. This has no effect on the original move that was upgraded into the Z-Move.
Outside of battle
Cursed Body has no effect outside of battle.
