Trivia

Though Leech Seed cannot affect Grass-type Pokémon in the games, Grass-type Pokémon have been affected in the animated series.
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.

 ==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, 1/16th 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.
-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 is also under the effect of {{m|Toxic}}, Leech Seed will increase the N value of of Toxic by 1 per turn. If the current 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.
-Leech Seed will not work against {{type2|Grass}}s.
+If powered up by a [[Grassium Z]] into Z-Leech Seed, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
-In Stadium, Leech Seed will not work against a target with a substitute.

-In Generation III, 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.
