Grudge (Japanese: おんねん Grudge) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

When Grudge is used, if the user faints as the direct result of an attack, the move which causes the user to faint will lose all of its PP. This move's effect only works if the user faints before making another move. If it faints later than that (unless it used this move again), this move's effect will not happen. Grudge does not activate for damage that occurs at the end of the turn, including damage from Leech Seed, Sandstorm, Hail, and Future Sight.
