Boosts the power of moves by ~30% (5324/4096), but at the cost of 10% max HP each time the holder uses an attack. Life Orb does not damage the holder if the holder has {{a|Magic Guard}}, has {{a|Sheer Force}} and uses a move boosted by the Ability, or when the power is not boosted by the Life Orb. It does not boost the damage for {{cat|moves that deal direct damage}}, self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} damage or [[recoil]].

===Generation IV===
Boosts the [[power]] of the holder's moves by ~30% (5324/4096), but the holder takes [[damage]] equal to 10% of its maximum HP after it uses a damaging move (rounded down, but not less than 1). Life Orb does not damage the holder if the move cannot have its power boosted by the Life Orb. It does not boost the damage for {{cat|moves that deal direct damage}} or self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} damage.


In Generation IV, it does not cause damage to the holder when hitting a {{m|substitute}}.
If the holder uses a [[multi-strike move]], it takes damage after the last strike. {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} do not cause the user to take damage.


If stolen with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}, the Pokémon that used that move will lose HP.
The Life Orb inflicts its damage without displaying any message.
 
It does not cause damage to the holder when hitting a {{m|substitute}}. {{a|Magic Guard}} prevents a Pokémon from taking damage from the Life Orb. If a Pokémon with {{a|Sheer Force}} uses a move boosted by the Ability, it does not take damage from Life Orb for that move.
 
If a Pokémon steals a Life Orb with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}, it will take damage for the use of that move that stole the Life Orb. The Life Orb activates after the holder recovers HP with a {{cat|HP-draining moves|draining move}} or takes damage from [[recoil]] and {{a|Rough Skin}}.
 
===Generation V onward===
The Life Orb now displays a message when it inflicts damage.
 
If a Pokémon is holding a Life Orb when {{m|Future Sight}} or {{m|Doom Desire}} that it used inflicts damage (even if it wasn't holding the Life Orb when it used the move), it takes damage for the Life Orb.
 
If a Pokémon steals a Life Orb with {{a|Magician}}, it will take damage for the use of that move that stole the Life Orb. The Life Orb activates before {{a|Pickpocket}}, so even if a Pokémon's held Life Orb is stolen by Pickpocket it still restores HP for that move. The Life Orb activates after the holder takes damage from {{a|Iron Barbs}} and the [[Rocky Helmet]].
