Story
[edit]13-year-old Nodoka Hanadera moves to the city of Sukoyaka (すこやか市, Sukoyaka-shi, Sukoyaka City) with her family in hopes of having a fresh start from her life in the city. Meanwhile, a place deep inside the Earth known as the "Healing Garden" (ヒーリングガーデン, Hīringu Gāden) is under attack from an antagonistic group called the Byogens, who aim to infect the Garden and slowly poison the planet. Its ruler, Queen Teatine, entrusts the care of her daughter Latte to three Healing Animals - Rabirin, Pegitan and Nyatoran - and tells them to go to the surface world and find three people whose hearts can resonate with their paws and partner with them. While on Earth, Nodoka and the fairies witness an attack from the Byogens: in a sudden twist of fate, Rabirin meets up with Nodoka, who despite her somewhat frail condition is determined to protect others. This resonates with Rabirin and gives Nodoka the power to become the Pretty Cure foretold in legend, Cure Grace. Joined by Chiyu (Cure Fontaine), Hinata (Cure Sparkle) and later they are joined by Asumi (Cure Earth), the four girls form the Healin' Good Pretty Cure team to fight against the threat of the Byogens and protect life on Earth and the Healing Garden.

Leaders

- Voiced by: Hozumi Gōda[5]
- The leader of the Byogens and the main antagonist of the series. He is a ruthless demon who was defeated by the ancient Pretty Cure long ago, when he almost conquered the Healing Garden and defeated Teatine. This caused him to lose his body and end up as a dormant spirit. In order to re-obtain his body, he assigns his minions to spread disease across the Earth to complete his body. In episode 39, the Cures apparently defeat him, leaving Guaiwaru to anoint himself as king. However, it is revealed in episode 41 that the Cures only destroyed part of his body, and that he knew of Guaiwaru's treachery and planned to absorb him once he enhanced himself further, with Shindoine assisting him in that plan. In episode 42, he absorbs Daruizen after the Cures defeat him, evolving and enhancing himself further into Neo King Byogen (ネオキングビョーゲン, Neo Kingu Byōgen). He subsequently infects all of Sukoyaka City and undermines Earth before Queen Teatine and her servants trap him in a forcefield to temporarily halt him. However, he breaks out, absorbs the Cures, Queen Teatine and Latte, and infects the entire world. Nevertheless, his victims break free and the Cures purify him, destroying him permanently.
Terra Byogens
[edit]Terra Byogens (テラビョーゲン, Terabyōgen) are demonic beings born after a Megabyogen's Dark Seed infects a host and matures over time before leaving its host and assuming a human form. They all serve under King Byogen as his generals and aim to spread disease to Earth to reawaken him. They use Nanobyogens to corrupt Elemental Spirits and create giant monsters called Megabyogens.[6] Said monsters can be enhanced with crystals called Mega Parts, which are harvested from defeated Megabyogens. Once enhanced with Mega Parts, they gain the ability to infect humans and turn them into Giga Byogen. All Terra Byogens have scorpion-like tails and horns and wear red coats.
- Daruizen (ダルイゼン, Daruīzen)[7]
- Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura[8]
- A calm Terra Byogen with green hair and light blue skin. He has a laidback attitude and speaks softly, and looks down upon the Healing Animals. He can throw projectiles by creating dark orbs. It is later revealed that he was born from Nodoka after a Dark Seed infected her, making him responsible for her illness. In episode 33, he is forced to enhance himself with a Mega Part to gain power, gaining the ability to turn humans into Gigabyogens like the other generals. In episodes 41 and 42, he attempts to seek Nodoka’s protection when the revived King Byogen attempts to absorb him, but she rejects his offer to protect her own health. He enhances himself with multiple Mega Parts to battle the Cures, only to be purified back to his usual form before being killed by King Byogen, who absorbs his remains. His name is derived from the word "Darui" (だるい), which means sluggish or languid.
- Shindoine (シンドイーネ, Shindoīne)
- Voiced by: Shizuka Itō[9]
- A wicked Terra Byogen woman with purple hair and light purple skin. She is King Byogen's oldest subordinate and is vastly devoted to him, taking offense towards her allies insulting him. After being ignored for so long, she uses a Mega Part to further evolve herself, gaining the ability to corrupt humans and turn them into Gigabyogens. In episode 41, it is revealed that she assisted King Byogen in his plan to absorb a treacherous Guaiwaru to regain his body and power. In episode 43, she enhances herself further to battle the four Cures, but is purified back to her original state as particles, which Cure Earth absorbs to develop a vaccine against King Byogen. Her name is derived from the word "Shindoi" (しんどい), which means tired or bothersome in Kansai dialect.
- Guaiwaru (グアイワル, Guaīwaru)
- Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto[10]
- A fierce and muscular Terra Byogen with orange hair and light green skin who solves problems by crushing his foes with brute force. In episode 32, he enhances himself with a Mega Part to prove he is better than Shindoine, gaining the ability to turn humans into Gigabyogens. In episode 39, he manipulates the Cures into defeating King Byogen for him as part of his plan to usurp him and becomes King Guaiwaru (キンググアイワル, Kingu Guaīwaru). He subsequently overpowers the Cures as they flee, infecting Sukoyaka City with multiple Megabyogens before the Cures intervene. Guaiwaru nearly kills them before King Byogen absorbs him, having known of his treachery, faked his demise, and used him to create a new body. His name is derived from the phrase "Guai (ga) Waru" (具合(が)悪い), meaning bad health.
- Batetemoda (バテテモーダ, Batetemōda)
- Voiced by: Sōichirō Hoshi[11]
- A cocky humanoid Terra Byogen who was born at the end of episode 11. He was born a nutria that was infected by a Dark Seed spawned by one of Daruizen's Megabyogens. Unlike the other three generals, he does not have horns, but instead wears a jacket, a black shirt and slippers. He is a strong fighter who battles for fun and sees the other generals as his family; this attitude is later revealed to be a ruse to prove he is better than the others. In episode 20, he is purified by Cure Earth using Healing Hurricane.
- Nebsock (ネブソック, Nebusokku)
- Voiced by: Eiji Takeuchi
- A humanoid Terra Byogen who only appears in episode 24. He was created by Daruizen by fusing a Mega Part with a crow; ironically, he has a fear of heights. His name is derived from the word "nebusoku"(寝不足) which means "lack of sleep". He is purified by Cure Earth.
- Kedary (ケダリー, Kedarī)
- Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe

- Voiced by: Kosuke Goto
- The series' main monsters, which the Byogens summon. They are created by contaminating the Earth Spirits with a small bat-shaped demon called a Nanobyogen ナ ノ ビ ョ ー ゲ ン (Nanobyōgen).
