Heal Pulse (move): Difference between revisions

Heal Pulse (Japanese: いやしのはどう Healing Wave) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Generation V

Heal Pulse restores up to 50% of the target's maximum HP. It will fail if the target's HP stat is already full or if it is behind a Substitute.

Heal Pulse bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. It can hit non-adjacent targets in Triple Battles.

Generation VI

Heal Pulse restores up to 75% of the target's maximum HP rather than the usual 50% when used by Pokémon with the Ability Mega Launcher.
