====Generation V====
When a Pokémon with Sap Sipper is hit by a {{type|Grass}} [[move]], its {{stat|Attack}} is increased by one stage, and the move will have no effect on that Pokémon.
 
[[Multi-strike move]]s, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}}, will only increase the Pokémon's Attack once. {{m|Aromatherapy}} will not activate Sap Sipper.
 
Sap Sipper will not activate if the Pokémon is {{cat|Protection moves|protected}} from the Grass-type move.
====Generation VI onward====
Aromatherapy now activates Sap Sipper of allies.
