'''Cursed Body''' (Japanese: '''のろわれボディ''' ''Cursed Body'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damaging move, there is a 30% chance that the Cursed Body will {{m|disable}} that move of the attacking Pokémon for 4 turns (including the turn Cursed Body activates). {{M|Struggle}} cannot be disabled. Cursed Body can activate even if the attacker is behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}} or if the Pokémon with Cursed Body is knocked out, but will not activate if the attack hits the substitute of the Pokémon with Cursed Body.

If Cursed Body disables a [[multistrike move]] before it has finished all of its hits, it will not prevent the other hits from being executed. Cursed Body can disable a {{cat|Moves that call other moves|move that calls another move}} if the called move dealt damage.

If a Pokémon uses a damaging [[Z-Move]] on a Pokémon with Cursed Body, that damaging Z-Move can be disabled (with no effect on the base move), temporarily preventing it from being used twice with the effect of [[Rotom Powers]], but otherwise having no tangible effect. However, if Cursed Body would disable a status Z-Move (such as Z-Nature Power), the base status move will be disabled.

===Outside of battle===
Cursed Body has no effect outside of battle.
