Is there a Pokemon that could take 8 times damage?

I heard that there was a Pokemon family that could take 8 times damage. I’m wanting to know if that is true and I want you to look at EVERY official information of the Pokemon and if my memory is correct it was in a gen 4 walkthrough.(but my memory could be wrong so still look in other gens)

By typing alone, the answer is obviously no; the biggest weakness a Pokémon’s typing can give it is 4x.

But there are some abilities that give Pokémon extra weaknesses, which is what I looked for. After looking through all the abilities that add weaknesses (and all the Pokémon that can have those abilities), the closest a Pokémon can come to an 8x weakness,without type manipulation, isthe Paras line, who, in addition to having a natural 4x weakness to fire, can also have the ability Dry Skin, which increases fire damage by 1.25x, resulting in a 5x weakness to fire.

However, a Pokémon affected by Forest’s Curse could end with an 8x weakness to various types. The total list of Pokémon who, when affected by Forest’s Curse, have an 8x weakness:
