Cursed Body (Japanese: のろわれボディ Cursed Body) is an Ability introduced in Generation V. All Pokémon that have this Ability are Ghost types.
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. If a status move that calls a another move calls a damaging move that hits a Pokémon with Cursed Body, Cursed Body can disable that status move.
Outside of battle
Cursed Body has no effect outside of battle.

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.
