Healin' Good Pretty Cure (Japanese: ヒーリングっど♡プリキュア Hepburn: Hīrin Guddo Purikyua?, stylized as Healin' Good♡Precure) is a Japanese magical girl anime series by Toei Animation. It is the seventeenth installment of the Pretty Cure franchise, featuring the fifteenth generation of Cures. It is directed by Yoko Ikeda and written by Junko Komura. The series began airing on all ANN stations in Japan on February 2, 2020, succeeding Star Twinkle PreCure in its initial time slot. It is the second series in the franchise to focus on nature as its main topic after Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star, with elements and medicine used for the Cures' main motifs.

Toei Animation Inc. licensed the series outside Japan, with Crunchyroll streaming the series starting on June 28, 2020 in select countries. It marks as the second series (excluding Smile PreCure! and DokiDoki! PreCure) to be released under the Pretty Cure name since Futari wa Pretty Cure.

Story

13-year old Nodoka Hanadera recently moved to the town of Sukoyaka (すこやか Sukoyaka-shi?, Sukoyaka City) with her family in hopes that it can give her a fresh start from her life in the city. Meanwhile, in a place deep inside the Earth known as the "Healing Garden" (ヒーリングガーデン Hīringu Gāden?), everything is in ruins after an attack from an antagonistic group called the Byogens, whose goal is to infect the Garden and slowly poison the planet. Its ruler, Queen Teatine, entrusted the care of her daughter Rate to three Healing Animals - Rabirin, Pegitan and Nyatoran - who are on a mission to go to the surface world and find three people whose hearts can resonate with their paws and can partner with them. While on Earth, both Nodoka and the fairies witness an attack from the Byogens and in a sudden twist of fate, Rabirin meets up with Nodoka, who despite her somewhat frail condition, is determined to protect others. This resonated with Rabirin and resulted in Nodoka becoming the Pretty Cure foretold in legend, Cure Grace. Joined in by Chiyu (Cure Fontaine), Hinata (Cure Sparkle) and Asumi (Cure Earth), the four girls form the Healin' Good Pretty Cure team in order to fight against the threat of the Byogens and protect all life on Earth along with the Healing Garden.
