Leech Life (Japanese: きゅうけつ Suck Blood) is a damage-dealing Bug-type move introduced in Generation I.
Effect
Generation I
Leech Life inflicts damage, and up to 50% of the damage dealt to the target is restored to the user as HP. If this attack deals 1 HP of damage, 1 HP will be restored to the user.
If Leech Life breaks a Substitute, no HP will be restored to the user. If HP is restored to the user when its current HP is greater than its maximum HP, its current HP will be set equal to its maximum HP.
In Stadium, Leech Life will always miss if the target has a Substitute.
Generation III
If the target has the ability Liquid Ooze, the user takes damage instead of restoring HP.
Generation IV onwards
If the user has the Big Root as its held item, Leech Life saps 30% more HP then it would of normally. Big Root does not increase damage dealt. All other effects remain the same.
