Curse Effect

Curse In-Game.jpg

Has the user create a cursed zone in exchange for some of its HP, dealing damage over time to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect and decreasing their movement speed. The lower the user’s HP is, the greater the decrease in movement speed. While using this move, the user builds up curse power every time it deals or receives damage. Releasing this built-up power will deal additional damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect. If the curse power is at maximum when it’s released, the cooldowns of Branch Poke, Horn Leech, and Pain Split are reset.

Drains 2% of Max HP

Curse periodically drains 2% of Trevenant's max HP for the duration.

How to Use Curse

Good AOE Damage

Curse offers amazing AOE damage as it not only builds up when dealing damage, but the gauge goes up too when Trevenant receives damage. On a full gauge, the Curse popping can deal massive amounts of instant damage. This can help secure kills as well as deter any enemy Pokemon from staying in the fight.

Utilize the Cooldown Reset

Pokemon UNITE - Curse - Cooldown Reduction

The cooldowns of Branch Poke, Horn Leech, and Pain Split reset when Curse's guage is at maximum when it's released. Utilize this mechanic to spam your moves and deal more damage.
