Horn Leech (Japanese: ウッドホーン Wood Horn) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation V. It is Sawsbuck's signature move. It is considered to be physical version of Giga Drain.

Effect

Generation V

Horn Leech will inflict damage on the target and ½ of the damage dealt will be restored to the user as HP.

If the user has the Big Root as its held item, the user will receive 30% more HP than it would have. Big Root does not increase damage dealt. When used on a Pokémon with the Liquid Ooze ability, the user will lose the amount of HP it would have gained instead.
