Horn Leech (Japanese: ウッドホーン Wood Horn) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation V. It is Sawsbuck's signature move. It is considered to be a physical version of Giga Drain.

Effect

Generation V

Horn Leech will inflict damage on the target and ½ of the damage dealt will be restored to the user as HP.

When used on a Pokémon with the Liquid Ooze ability, the user will lose the amount of HP it would have gained instead.

If the user has a Big Root as its held item, it will recover 30% more HP than it normally would. Big Root does not increase damage dealt.

Description

Games Description
BW The user drains the target's energy with its horns. The user's HP is restored by half the damage taken by the target.
