Pain Split (Japanese: いたみわけ Pain Split) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation V, it was the signature move of Misdreavus.

Effect

Pain Split adds the current HP of the user and target Pokémon. It then divides this value by two and sets the HP of both Pokémon to the result. If the new value is higher than the maximum HP of either Pokémon, that Pokémon will have its HP set to that maximum.
