'''Nightmare''' (Japanese: '''あくむ''' ''Nightmare'') is a non-damaging {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was [[TM50]] in Generation II.

{{MoveResearch|Does the Shed Skin bug occur in Pokémon Colosseum and XD? How does the Shed Skin bug work in link battles.}}

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. If the Pokémon wakes up, the effect of Nightmare ends and does not reoccur if put back to sleep.

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 bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}} or {{m|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 onward===

Nightmare inflicts damage equal to one quarter of the Pokémon's maximum HP at the end of each turn. Nightmare now has 100% accuracy.

If powered up by a [[Ghostium Z]] into Z-Nightmare, the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} stat raises one stage.
