Giga Drain (Japanese: ギガドレイン Giga Drain) is a damage-dealing Grass-type move introduced in Generation II. Giga Drain is the strongest in a line of three Grass-type HP draining attacks, the other two being Absorb and Mega Drain. It was TM19 from Generation II to Generation IV.
Effect
Generation II
Giga Drain will inflict damage on the target and ½ of the damage dealt will be restored to the user as HP.
The base PP of Giga Drain is 5 in this generation.
Generation III
Giga Drain functions the same as in Generation II. However, when used on a Pokémon with the Liquid Ooze Ability, the user will lose the amount of HP it would have gained instead.
Generation IV
The move's base PP was raised to 10. If the user has a Big Root as its held item, it will recover 30% more HP than it normally would. Big Root does not increase damage dealt. All other effects remain the same.
Generation V
The functions of this move are the same as in previous generations. However, the base power has been increased from 60 to 75.
