Absorb is a Grass-type move introduced in Generation I that deals very little damage. Absorb is the first in a line of three Grass draining attacks, the other two being Mega Drain and Giga Drain.


Effect

Absorb does damage, and up to 50% of the damage done to the opponent is restored to the user. However, if this attack does 1 point of damage, 1 HP will be restored to the user.

If Absorb breaks a Substitute, no HP will be restored to the user. If HP is restored to the user when its current HP would be greater than its maximum HP, its current HP will be set equal to its maximum HP.

In Stadium, Absorb will always miss if the opponent has a substitute.

If Absorb is used on a Pokémon with the Liquid Ooze ability, the user loses HP in stead of gaining.
