How much damage does Curse add to Physical attacks?
I was wondering what is the percent of damage that increases when you use the move curse? Is it the same as swords dance increases damage by 100%? Also sorry if this question has already been asked, I checked but I may have missed it so sorry in advance.

Ok, so Curse gives an attack boost of 50%. Basically, look at this.
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragonite: 248-292 (76.7 - 90.4%) – guaranteed 2HKOThis is before an attack boost. (Yes I understand that landorus-t doesn’t get curse but it can be simulated by simply boosting the attack stat by one stage lmao). Now, look at this:
+1 252 Atk Landorus-Therian Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragonite: 370-436 (114.5 - 134.9%) – guaranteed OHKO
Focus on the percentages. 76.7 is around 115, which 114.5 is close to (other modifiers are included). The same goes for 90.4%. This is around 137, which is decently close to 134.9. Again, not perfect, but close enough.
This is the calculator I used
Curse raises physical attack by 1 stage.sourceAssuming that a Pokemon uses curse once and does not have any other physical attack modifiers, its physical attack gets multiplied by 3/2 times or by 150%, or gets raised by 50%.source
