Categories Element Grass Type Status

Statistical Attributes Base Power — Accuracy 90 PP 10

Leech Seed is a Grass-type status-based move.

Function

Leech Seed parasitically plants a seed on the opponent, sapping the afflictee of their HP. 1/8th of the afflictee's maximal HP will be siphoned away per turn, restoring it to afflictive Pokémon's own health. If the afflictive Pokémon is switched out, the switched-in Pokémon will supplant it as the beneficiary of the ailment, being the new recipient of the incremental health restorations.

The ailment has no durational determinacy; it will last until a either workable curative agent is used to expunge the status ailment, the afflictee uses Haze or switches out, the afflictive Pokémon is defeated, or the battle ends.

The move's operative function is classified as a acute status ailment, being inimitably performed by this move technique.

Grass-type Pokémon are invulnerable to this status ailment.

Ghost-type repercussions

The user will immediately lose half of its maximal HP; since this value is absolutized to the maximal amount, it would cause the user to faint if they presentially had only half of their maximal HP (rounded-down) or less.

Non-Ghost-type repercussions

The user's Speed will be downscaled by one stage; however, as a counterbalance, their Attack and Defense stats will also upscale by one stage.
