Effects

Forest's Curse adds the Grass type to the target. If the target is dual-typed they essentially become a triple-typed Pokémon.

It fails if one of the Pokémon's types is already Grass. If the target is under the effect of Trick-or-Treat the Ghost type is replaced by Grass.

Z-Move effects

When a Pokémon is holding Grassium Z and uses its Z-Power, Forest's Curse turns into Z-Forest's Curse and raises all stats one stage each, in addition to its usual effect as above.
