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 target 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, and the target can be healed regardless of whether or not it is afflicted by Heal Block.

Description

Games Description BWB2W2 XYORAS The user emits a healing pulse which restores the target's HP by up to half of its max HP. SMUSUM SwShBDSPLA SV The user emits a healing pulse that restores the target's HP by up to half of its max HP.
