Dream Eater (Japanese: ゆめくい Dream Eat) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.
Contents
Effect
Dream Eater only works if the target is asleep. Dream Eater inflicts damage and 50% of the damage dealt is restored to the user as HP. If this attack deals 1 damage, 1 HP will be restored to the user.
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.

Trivia
- Dream Eater is the only HP-draining move unaffected by the effects of Big Root and Liquid Ooze.
- Even though the move is called Dream Eater, if the target is under the effect of Nightmare when it is hit by Dream Eater, the target will still be afflicted by a Nightmare.
- Several of Drowzee's and Hypno's Pokédex entries say that they eat dreams. However, they cannot learn Dream Eater by leveling up.
