I’m trying to beat Pokémon shield with only a Shelmet. it was going well until the 4th gym where Cursola uses curse and it kills me every time. And since I can’t switch out Pokémon I’m left here scratching my head. So please help.
The curse will remain until the Pokémon switches out or the battle ends. This move is not blocked by Protect, Detect, or Spiky Shield, but is blocked by Crafty Shield.
Nope. Once a Curse is laid on your Pokemon, you have to switch or have used Crafty Shield beforehand.
