Curse			10	--	--	A move that works differently for the Ghost type than for all other types.
Pain Split			20	--	--	The user adds its HP to the target's HP, then equally shares the combined HP with the target.
Struggle			1	50	--	An attack that is used in desperation only if the user has no PP. It also hurts the user slightly.
