Effect
In battle
Volt Absorb heals one quarter of the user's maximum HP when hit with an Electric-type attack. Therefore, the user does not take damage from Electric-type moves. However, before Generation IV, Thunder Wave can paralyze a Pokémon with Volt Absorb without setting off the effect.
Outside of battle
Volt Absorb has no effect outside of battle.
