Affected Pokémon cannot use {{cat|status moves that heal the user immediately}} or {{m|Wish}}. If an affected Pokémon had already selected one of these moves to use before being affected by Heal Block, it is prevented from using the move (i.e., no {{PP}} is consumed). If a Pokémon cannot use any moves when selecting a move to use due to Heal Block (e.g., due to knowing no other moves that have PP, [[Choice Band]], etc.), it will use {{m|Struggle}}.

If a Pokémon cannot use any moves when selecting a move to use due to Heal Block (e.g., due to knowing no other moves that have PP, [[Choice Band]], etc.), it will use {{m|Struggle}}. Restricted moves can still be called by {{cat|moves that call other moves}} (such as {{m|Metronome}}), but they are prevented from being used.


Affected Pokémon can still use {{cat|HP-draining moves}}; these moves will still inflict damage, but will not restore {{stat|HP}}. {{a|Liquid Ooze}} is not affected by Heal Block.
