Dream Eater (Japanese: ゆめくい Dream Eat) is a damage-dealing Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM42 in Generation I and II. It lost its status in Generation III before regaining its status as a TM, albeit as TM85, in Generation IV onwards.
Effect
Generations I to III
Dream Eater only works if the target is asleep. Dream Eater inflicts damage and 50% of the damage dealt (rounded up) is restored to the user as HP.
If Dream Eater 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.
Dream Eater will always fail if the target is not asleep.
In Pokémon Stadium, Dream Eater will always fail if the target has a substitute.
Generation IV
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
Dream Eater is now affected by Liquid Ooze.
Generation VI
Dream Eater cannot be used if the user is under the effects of Heal Block.
