Effect

If a Pokémon holding a Big Root uses a draining move or Strength Sap, it restores 30% more HP than it otherwise would. Additionally, a Pokémon holding a Big Root regains 30% more HP from Leech Seed, Ingrain and Aqua Ring. In Generation V onwards, the factor is 5324/4096.

The Big Root also increases the damage taken by the holder from Liquid Ooze.
