'''Leech Seed''' (Japanese: '''やどりぎのタネ''' ''{{wp|Mistletoe}} Seed'') is a non-damaging {{type|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
===[[Generation I]]===
===Generation I===
Leech Seed plants a seed on the target. At the end of each turn that the target is under the effect of Leech Seed, 1/16 of the target's HP will be drained, and the same amount of HP will be restored to the target's opponent (even if it was not the Pokémon that originally used the attack). Recurrent Leech Seed draining will not occur if the seeded Pokémon defeats the target. Unlike other types of damage, the recurrent damage done by Leech Seed can exceed the target's current HP. Leech Seed will not work against {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
Leech Seed plants a seed on the target. After a target under the effect of Leech Seed takes its turn, <sup>1</sup>/<sub>16</sub> of its HP will be drained (rounded down, but not less than 1), and the same amount of HP will be restored to the target's opponent (even if it was not the Pokémon that originally used the attack). Recurrent Leech Seed draining will not occur if the seeded Pokémon defeats the target. Unlike other types of damage, the recurrent damage done by Leech Seed can exceed the target's current HP. Leech Seed will not work against {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, and attempts to seed an already-seeded Pokémon will fail.
 
Leech Seed draining will occur even if the seeded Pokémon knocks itself out with crash damage, recoil damage, or self-inflicted confusion damage, or by making a {{m|substitute}} before the end of its turn. Draining from Leech Seed is done after continuing partial trapping damage and recurrent poison or burn damage. Leech Seed can be removed by {{m|Haze}} or switching. If the target is seeded during a round that it switches in, it will take recurrent damage during that round, but only if its speed is less than or equal to the user's speed.
 
If the target of Leech Seed is also under the effect of {{m|Toxic}} (or was under that effect and healed itself with {{m|Rest}}), because Leech Seed and Toxic both use the same damage algorithm, Leech Seed damage will be affected by Toxic's '''N''' parameter, and will increase each turn.
 
In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Leech Seed will not work against a target with a substitute.


If the target has less than 16 HP, Leech Seed will drain 1 HP per turn. Leech Seed draining will occur even if the seeded Pokémon knocks itself out with crash damage, recoil damage, or self-inflicted confusion damage, or by making a {{m|Substitute}} before the end of its turn. Draining from Leech Seed is done after continuing partial trapping damage and recurrent poison or burn damage. Leech Seed can be removed by {{m|Haze}} or switching. If the target is seeded during a round that it switches in, it will take recurrent damage during that round, but only if its speed is less than or equal to the user's speed.
===Generation II===
⅛ of the target's HP is drained instead. {{m|Rapid Spin}} will release a Pokémon from the effects of Leech Seed. Also, Leech Seed no longer interacts with {{m|Toxic}} damage and Haze no longer affects Leech Seed. If a Pokémon uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, Leech Seed will still be in effect, even if the switched in Pokémon is a Grass type. The user can no longer plant a seed on a target with a substitute (but setting up a substitute does not release a Pokémon from existing effects of Leech Seed).


If the target of Leech Seed is also under the effect of {{m|Toxic}}, Leech Seed damage will increase every turn as the N value of Toxic increases because Leech Seed and Toxic both use the same damage algorithm ( N × max (1, int (0.0625 × Max HP)). If the current {{stat|HP}} of the recipient of Leech Seed's HP-restoring effect is greater than its maximum HP, its current HP will be set equal to its maximum HP.  
===Generation III onward===
Leech Seed will now drain HP at the end of each turn.


In [[Pokémon Stadium]], Leech Seed will not work against a target with {{m|Substitute|a substitute}}.
In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Leech Seed will only heal the Pokémon that is in the same position as the Pokémon that originally used Leech Seed was in. If no Pokémon is in that position (for example, if it fainted and could not be replaced), Leech Seed will not take any health from the seeded Pokémon. However, if a Pokémon is later able to occupy that position (if it was revived), Leech Seed will once again sap HP from the seeded Pokémon. While a Pokémon is seeded, even if it cannot have its health drained due to there being no Pokémon in the appropriate slot to drain its HP, it cannot be affected by Leech Seed again.


===[[Generation II]]===
Leech Seed can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra two appeal points if {{m|Growth}} was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Rototiller}} was used in the prior turn.
1/8 of the target's HP is drained instead. {{m|Rapid Spin}} will release a Pokémon from the effects of Leech Seed.
Also, Leech Seed's effects on the move {{m|Toxic}} are no longer present.


===[[Generation III]]===
If the target has the [[Ability]] {{a|Liquid Ooze}}, the user takes damage instead of restoring HP. If the user is under the effect of {{m|Heal Block}}, Leech Seed will not restore any of the user's HP. However, the effect damage will be dealt normally. 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.
In a [[Double Battle|Double Battle]], Leech Seed will only heal the Pokémon in the position that used Leech Seed. If the Trainer only has two Pokémon left, and the Pokémon that was being healed by Leech Seed is KO'd, the effect of Leech Seed simply disappears rather than transferring over to the remaining Pokémon.


===[[Generation IV]] and on===
If powered up by a [[Grassium Z]] into Z-Leech Seed, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
If the user has a {{DL|In-battle effect item|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.


===In Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Using {{m|Sappy Seed}} will plant a Leech Seed on the target if it hits.
Leech Seed is one of the random outcomes of {{p|Togepi}}'s {{m|Metronome}}. All characters within the area of effect will receive a flower on their head that saps 5% health every few seconds.

==Trivia==
*Though Leech Seed cannot normally affect {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in the games, Grass-type Pokémon have been affected in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Though Leech Seed cannot affect {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in the games, Grass-type Pokémon have been affected in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
*Leech Seed is referred to as "Mistletoe Seed" in Japanese because the mistletoe is a well-known parasitic plant that leeches nutrients from its host plant. Ironically, Grass-type Pokémon are immune to its effects.
* Despite the origin of its Japanese name being a parasite that attaches itself to a host plant and absorbs nutrients, Leech Seed cannot affect Grass-type Pokémon.
* Although Leech Seed is singular, the games depict three seeds being planted. In the anime usually just one seed is planted, but sometimes two are. In the manga, only one seed is planted when the attack is used.
* Because all Pokémon that can learn Leech Seed are at least part {{type|Grass}}, all Pokémon that can learn Leech Seed are immune to its effects.

Leech Seed (Japanese: やどりぎのタネ Mistletoe Seed) is a non-damaging Grass-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Leech Seed plants a seed on the target. After a target under the effect of Leech Seed takes its turn, 1/16 of its HP will be drained (rounded down, but not less than 1), and the same amount of HP will be restored to the target's opponent (even if it was not the Pokémon that originally used the attack). Recurrent Leech Seed draining will not occur if the seeded Pokémon defeats the target. Unlike other types of damage, the recurrent damage done by Leech Seed can exceed the target's current HP. Leech Seed will not work against Grass-type Pokémon, and attempts to seed an already-seeded Pokémon will fail.

Leech Seed draining will occur even if the seeded Pokémon knocks itself out with crash damage, recoil damage, or self-inflicted confusion damage, or by making a substitute before the end of its turn. Draining from Leech Seed is done after continuing partial trapping damage and recurrent poison or burn damage. Leech Seed can be removed by Haze or switching. If the target is seeded during a round that it switches in, it will take recurrent damage during that round, but only if its speed is less than or equal to the user's speed.

If the target of Leech Seed is also under the effect of Toxic (or was under that effect and healed itself with Rest), because Leech Seed and Toxic both use the same damage algorithm, Leech Seed damage will be affected by Toxic's N parameter, and will increase each turn.

In the Pokémon Stadium series, Leech Seed will not work against a target with a substitute.

Generation II

⅛ of the target's HP is drained instead. Rapid Spin will release a Pokémon from the effects of Leech Seed. Also, Leech Seed no longer interacts with Toxic damage and Haze no longer affects Leech Seed. If a Pokémon uses Baton Pass, Leech Seed will still be in effect, even if the switched in Pokémon is a Grass type. The user can no longer plant a seed on a target with a substitute (but setting up a substitute does not release a Pokémon from existing effects of Leech Seed).

Generation III onward

Leech Seed will now drain HP at the end of each turn.

In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Leech Seed will only heal the Pokémon that is in the same position as the Pokémon that originally used Leech Seed was in. If no Pokémon is in that position (for example, if it fainted and could not be replaced), Leech Seed will not take any health from the seeded Pokémon. However, if a Pokémon is later able to occupy that position (if it was revived), Leech Seed will once again sap HP from the seeded Pokémon. While a Pokémon is seeded, even if it cannot have its health drained due to there being no Pokémon in the appropriate slot to drain its HP, it cannot be affected by Leech Seed again.

Leech Seed can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining an extra two appeal points if Growth was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if Rototiller was used in the prior turn.

If the target has the Ability Liquid Ooze, the user takes damage instead of restoring HP. If the user is under the effect of Heal Block, Leech Seed will not restore any of the user's HP. However, the effect damage will be dealt normally. 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.

If powered up by a Grassium Z into Z-Leech Seed, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

Using Sappy Seed will plant a Leech Seed on the target if it hits.
