==Effect==
===Effect===
===Held item===
If the holder is hit by a {{type|Water}} damaging [[move]], it consumes the Absorb Bulb and its {{stat|Special Attack}} is increased by one stage.
====In battle====
If the holder is hit by a {{type|Water}} attack, the Absorb Bulb is consumed, and the holder's {{stat|Special Attack}} is raised by one stage.


The effect does not activate if the Water-type move is nullified through [[Ability|Abilities]] such as {{a|Storm Drain}}<!-- or {{a|Desolate Land}}-->.
It does not activate if the holder already has +6 Special Attack stat stages (unless its [[Ability]] is {{a|Contrary}}, in which case it will not activate if the holder has -6 Special Attack stat stages). It does not activate if the holder is {{cat|protection moves|protected}} from or unaffected by the Water-type move (e.g. due to {{a|Water Absorb}} or {{a|Wonder Guard}}).
 
If multiple Pokémon each holding an Absorb Bulb or [[Luminous Moss]] are hit by a Water-type move at once, each hit Pokémon will consume their Absorb Bulb or Luminous Moss before {{a|Symbiosis}} transfers any item (including these items).

It does not activate if the holder is protected from or unaffected by the Water-type move (e.g. due to Water Absorb or Wonder Guard).
