If the target is {{status|Sleep|asleep}}, Nightmare afflicts the target with a status that causes it to take damage equal to one quarter of its maximum {{stat|HP}} each turn. If the Pokémon wakes up, the effect of Nightmare ends and does not reoccur if put back to sleep.
 
===Generation II===
===Generation II===
Nightmare inflicts damage equal to one quarter of the Pokémon's maximum HP every turn, after it attacks or its Trainer uses an item, or at the end of the turn if it did not attack and its Trainer did not use an item. If a Pokémon in a Nightmare causes an opponent to faint, it will not take damage that turn. Nightmare bypass accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is under the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}}/{{m|Fly}}.
If the target is {{status|asleep}}, Nightmare afflicts the target with a status that causes it to take damage equal to one quarter of its maximum {{stat|HP}} each turn, except on a turn where the target causes an opponent to faint.

In [[Generation II]] only, due to an oversight, if an opponent cures their Pokémon of sleep with a [[Full Heal]] or [[Full Restore]], it will not be cured of Nightmare even after waking up; this does not occur if the player cures their own Pokémon of sleep.

Nightmare (Japanese: あくむ Nightmare) is a non-damaging Ghost-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM50 in Generation II.

Effect

151Mew.png This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: Does the Shed Skin bug occur in Pokémon Colosseum and XD? How does the Shed Skin bug work in link battles?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Generation II

If the target is asleep, Nightmare afflicts the target with a status that causes it to take damage equal to one quarter of its maximum HP each turn, except on a turn where the target causes an opponent to faint. The target Pokémon takes Nightmare damage after it or its Trainer takes an action or at the end of the turn. If the Pokémon wakes up, the effect of Nightmare ends and does not reoccur if put back to sleep. Nightmare bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig or Fly.

In Generation II only, due to an oversight, if an opponent cures their Pokémon of sleep with a Full Heal or Full Restore, it will not be cured of Nightmare even after waking up; this does not occur if the player cures their own Pokémon of sleep.

Generation III

Nightmare now always inflicts damage to the Pokémon at the end of the turn. Additionally, Nightmare inflicts damage even on the turn where the Pokémon knocks out an opponent.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire only, due to an oversight, if a Pokémon cures itself of sleep with Shed Skin, it will not be cured of Nightmare even after waking up.

Generations IV to VII

Nightmare now has 100% accuracy.

Nightmare can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if a sleep-inducing status move (except Psycho Shift and Rest) was used in the prior turn.

If powered up by a Ghostium Z into Z-Nightmare, the user's Special Attack stat rises by one stage.

Generation VIII

Nightmare cannot be selected in a battle.

Description
