 ==Effect==
 ===In battle===
-When a Pokémon with Volt Absorb is hit by an {{type|Electric}} [[move]], its HP is restored by one quarter of its maximum HP, and the move will have no effect (if a Pokémon with this Ability already has full HP, the Electric-type move will do nothing). This includes moves used under the effect of {{m|Ion Deluge}} or {{m|Electrify}}, and {{m|Judgment}} when holding a [[Zap Plate]].
+====Generation III====
+When a Pokémon with Volt Absorb is hit by a damaging {{type|Electric}} [[move]], its HP is restored by one quarter of its maximum HP, and the move will have no effect on that Pokémon (if a Pokémon with this Ability already has full HP, the Electric-type move will do nothing).
+====Generation IV onward====
+When a Pokémon with Volt Absorb is hit by an {{type|Electric}} [[move]] (including [[status move]]s), its HP is restored by one quarter of its maximum HP, and the move will have no effect on that Pokémon (if a Pokémon with this Ability already has full HP, the Electric-type move will do nothing).
 If the Pokémon is also holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Cell Battery}}, Volt Absorb will activate first, and the Cell Battery's effect is not triggered.
-====Generation III====
-Volt Absorb did not protect against {{m|Thunder Wave}} in Generation III; this was changed in later generations.
