Effect

In battle

Reason: Checking effect of Big Root of damage dealt
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Liquid Ooze causes HP-draining moves to cause injury. If a Pokémon with Liquid Ooze is hit by an HP-draining move such as Giga Drain or Leech Life, or takes damage from the effect of Leech Seed, the amount of HP that would be recovered by the opponent is dealt as damage instead. The damage dealt by the move is not affected. Prior to Generation V, Dream Eater is not affected by this Ability.

Even if the user of the HP-draining move cannot heal from its effect due to having full HP or the effect of Heal Block, it will still take damage.
