Soft-Boiled (Japanese: タマゴうみ Egg Lay), formatted as Softboiled prior to Pokémon X and Y, is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM41 in Generation I. It is the signature move of Chansey and Blissey.

Effect

In battle

Generation I

Soft-Boiled restores up to 50% of the user's current HP.

Soft-Boiled will fail if the difference between the user's current and maximum HP is 0, or if (user's maximum HP - user's current HP) mod 256 = 255. If the user's current HP is greater than its maximum HP, Soft-Boiled will set the user's current HP to equal its maximum HP.

In Stadium, Soft-Boiled will fail only when the difference between the user's current and maximum HP is 0.

Generation II onward

Soft-Boiled restores up to 50% of the user's current HP. Soft-Boiled will fail only when the difference between the user's current and maximum HP is 0.

Outside of battle

Similar to Milk Drink, Soft-Boiled can also be used outside of battle to take away some HP from the user and restore another party Pokémon's HP.

Pokémon Method
User First Used In Notes
Chansey The egg in Chansey's pouch glows yellow and it raises its arms into the air. When it does, a yellow glow in the shape of Chansey's egg rises from its pouch into the air. It then floats over to the target and melts into its body. As it does, the target's body becomes outlined in yellow, healing it.

Trivia

  • Although Soft-Boiled is available in Pokémon Emerald as a Move Tutor move, all Pokémon able to be tutored the move must either be traded into the game from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen or caught using an event item.
  • Male Pokémon can use this move despite its Japanese name being タマゴうみ Tamago Umi, which can be translated to "egg lay".
  • In Generation III, if this move is used immediately after Brick Break, the egg that appears will be transparent rather than solid. This doesn't affect the execution of the move, however.
