=====Substitute behavior=====
=====Substitute behavior=====
In the Japanese versions of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, the {{cat|HP-draining moves}} ({{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, and {{m|Dream Eater}}) fail if the opposing Pokémon has a {{m|substitute}}. This same behaviour occurs in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] and all [[Generation II]] games.

Due to an oversight, in the localizations of the Generation I games, HP-draining moves can hit a Pokémon's substitute, but if they break the substitute they fail to restore any HP.
