On turn 10, Oinkologne uses Curse while having Protean. It uses the Ghost type Curse, but for some reason the Curse applied to itself instead of the opposing Feraligatr.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?

I tested it, and it only occurs on the turn that Protean activates. If you use it afterwards it works like normal Ghost-Curse. My guess is that when Non-Ghost-Curse is selected, it flags the effect to be applied to the user, so when it changes to Ghost-Curse it still applies to the user.
