If the user is not already Ghost-type and becomes Ghost-type due to {{a|Protean}} upon executing Curse, the user will use the Ghost-type Curse on itself (regardless of {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|Rage Powder}}). This means that the user will lose half of its maximum HP and also receive the curse, losing ¼ of its maximum HP at the end of each following turn. This cannot be blocked by {{m|Crafty Shield}}. | If the user is not already Ghost-type and becomes Ghost-type due to {{a|Protean}} upon executing Curse, the user will use the Ghost-type Curse on itself (regardless of {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|Rage Powder}}).

::''"Let me recount a terrifying tale... Once upon a time, there was a little boy who was given a new Bicycle... He wanted to try it right away... He was having so much fun that he didn't notice the sun had set... While riding home in the pitch-black night, the bike suddenly slowed! The pedals became heavy! When he stopped pedaling, the bike began slipping backwards! It was as if the bike were cursed and trying to drag him into oblivion! ... ... Shrieeeek! The boy had been riding uphill on Cycling Road! ... Ba-dum ba-dum! For listening so patiently, you may take this—TM03! TM03 is Curse. It's a terrifying move that slowly whittles down the victim's HP."'' | ::''"Let me recount a terrifying tale... Once upon a time, there was a little boy who was given a new Bicycle...
