Leech Seed

Leech Seed is a Grass-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect[]

Using the move plants a seed on the target Pokémon. In the Generation I games, the seed drains the target of its HP by up to the amount of HP that makes up 1/16 of its max HP, then transfers it to the user. As of Generation II, the seed drains the target of its HP by up to the amount of HP that makes up 1/8 of its max HP, then transfers it to the user. The target will continue to be drained on every turn until it faints or it switches out. In a Double Battle, Leech Seed can target any Pokémon around the user. In a Triple Battle, Leech Seed can only target a Pokémon adjacent to the user. Leech Seed does not work on grass-type Pokémon, or a Pokémon affected by seeding.
