Cursed Body (Japanese: のろわれボディ Cursed Body) is an Ability introduced in Generation V. Five Pokémon can have this Ability, all of which are Ghost types.
Effect
In battle
Cursed Body has a 30% chance of disabling the opponent's used offensive move when attacked for 3 turns (including the turn Cursed Body activates). This works even if the attacker is behind a substitute and when the user 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.
Outside of battle
Cursed Body has no effect outside of battle.

Notes

|
When Frillish is hit by an opponent's attack that causes physical contact, Frillish's body becomes surrounded in a dark indigo aura which then covers the opponent's body. The opponent can then no longer use the move that inflicted the damage onto Frillish.
