'''Forest's Curse''' (Japanese: '''もりののろい''' ''Forest's Curse'') is a non-damaging {{type|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Phantump}} and {{p|Trevenant}}.

==Effect==
Forest's Curse adds the {{t|Grass}} type to the target, in addition to the Pokémon's original type(s). If it is used against a dual-type Pokémon, that Pokémon will have three types at once. If the target already has an additional type added to it by {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}, that type is replaced with the Grass type.

Forest's Curse bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. It will fail if the target is already Grass-type.

==Description==

==Trivia==
* If a {{2t|Dragon|Ice}}-type Pokémon (such as {{p|Kyurem}}) is affected by Forest's Curse, it becomes weak to 10 types, the most of any possible type combination outside of [[Inverse Battle]]s.
*If a Pokemon with a double weakness to [[Fire]], like {{p|Genesect}}, is affected by Forest's Curse, it is the only time in the games where a Pokemon takes 8X the base damage from a Fire type move like [[Fire Blast]].
