Leech Seed plants a seed on the target. After a target under the effect of Leech Seed takes its turn, ¹/₁₆ of its HP will be drained (rounded down, but not less than 1), and the same amount of HP will be restored to the target's opponent (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 {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, and attempts to seed an already-seeded Pokémon will fail.

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.

If the target of Leech Seed is also under the effect of {{m|Toxic}} (or was under that effect and healed itself with {{m|Rest}}), because Leech Seed and Toxic both use the same damage algorithm, Leech Seed damage will be affected by Toxic's '''N''' parameter, and will increase each turn.

 

 

 

 

 

Leech Seed can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra two appeal points if {{m|Growth}} was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Rototiller}} was used in the prior turn.

 

If the target has the [[Ability]] {{a|Liquid Ooze}}, the user takes damage instead of restoring HP. If the user is under the effect of {{m|Heal Block}}, Leech Seed will not restore any of the user's HP. However, the effect damage will be dealt normally. 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. All other effects remain the same.
