'''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]]===
{{main|Seeding}}
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 your active Pokémon (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 {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.


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.
Leech Seed [[seeding|plants a seed]] on the target.


If the target of {{m|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*MaxHP). This was fixed as of [[Generation II]]. 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.  
Leech Seed is also part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Rototiller}} was used in the prior turn.


In [[Pokémon Stadium]], Leech Seed will not work against a target with a substitute.
If powered up by a [[Grassium Z]] into Z-Leech Seed, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

==Description==
 
{{movedesc|Grass}}
===[[Generation II]]===
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|Stad}}|Plants a seed on the target Pokémon. The seed slowly drains the target's HP for the attacker.}}
1/8 of the target's HP is drained instead. {{m|Rapid Spin}} will release a Pokémon from the effects of Leech Seed.
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|Stad2}}|Plants a seed on the target {{ScPkmn}}. It slowly drains the target's HP for the attacker.}}
Also, Leech Seed's effects on the move "Toxic" are no longer present.
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev2|GSC}}|Steals HP from the foe on every turn.}}
 
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|RSE}}|Plants a seed on the foe to steal HP on every turn.}}
===[[Generation III]]===
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|FRLG}}|A seed is planted on the foe to steal some HP for the user on every turn.}}
In a [[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.
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|Colo}}{{gameabbrevss|XD}}|Plants a seed on the target to steal HP on every turn.}}
 
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}}{{gameabbrevss|PBR}}|A seed is planted on the foe. It steals some HP from the foe to heal the user on every turn.}}
===[[Generation IV]]===
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}}<br>{{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}}<br>{{gameabbrev7|SMUSUMPE}}<br>{{gameabbrev8|SwShBDSPLA}}<br>{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|A seed is planted on the target. It steals some HP from the target every turn.}}
If the user is holding the item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}}, Leech Seed will increase the user's HP by 30% more than it normally would. Big Root does not increase damage dealt. All other effects remain the same.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Though Leech Seed cannot affect {{type2|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 originally referred to as "Mistletoe Seed" in Japanese because mistletoe is a well-known parasitic plant that leeches energy and nutrients from its host.
* 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 {{type2|Grass}}, all Pokémon that can learn Leech Seed are immune to its effects.
