Softboiled (Japanese: タマゴうみ Egg Lay) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. Notably, when contained in TM41, it was the least-usable TM, learnable by only two Pokémon.

Effect

Softboiled restores up to 50% of the user's current HP.

Softboiled 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, Softboiled will set the user's current HP to equal its maximum HP.

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

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