Giga Drain (Japanese: ギガドレイン Giga Drain) is a Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II that deals a small amount of damage. Giga Drain is the strongest in a line of three Grass draining attacks, the other two being Absorb and Mega Drain.

Effect

Generation II

Giga Drain will inflict damage on the foe and will give the user 1/2 of the damage dealt as HP.

Giga Drain's base PP is 5 in this generation.

Generation III

Functions the same as Generation II, however, when used on a Pokémon with the Liquid Ooze ability, the user will lose the amount of HP it would have gained, instead.

Generation IV

The move's base PP was raised to 10, likely due to the fact that its power is only 60, unlike most other moves with 5 PP.

In the anime

Pokémon

Torterra. The mountains on Torterra's back glows green. Glowing green vines are then released from them and it shoot towards the foe. Torterra then restrains its target with the vines and they suck the target's energy.
