Heal Pulse (move): Difference between revisions

The picture used in this article is unsatisfactory. Please feel free to replace it so it conforms to Bulbapedia conventions. Reason: Should be replaced with Generation VII image

Heal Pulse (Japanese: いやしのはどう Healing Wave) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Heal Pulse restores up to 50% (75% if the user has Mega Launcher) of the target's maximum HP. It will fail if the target's HP stat is already full or if it is behind a Substitute.

Heal Pulse bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. It can hit non-adjacent targets in Triple Battles.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Heal Pulse, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
