Heal Block prevents the functioning of the moves {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, {{m|Roost}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Heal Order}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Softboiled}}, {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Milk Drink}}, {{m|Slack Off}}, and {{m|Synthesis}}, while it is under effect. The player can still use items such as [[Potion]]s to heal the Pokémon.
Heal Block restricts the targets from healing in certain ways for five turns.


The moves {{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Horn Leech}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Drain Punch}}, and {{m|Leech Seed}} will still inflict damage, but will not restore {{stat|HP}} when the user is affected by Heal Block.
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 other moves (e.g., due to knowing no other moves that have PP, [[Choice Band]], etc.), it will use {{m|Struggle}}.


Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} will take damage, as opposed to healing, from {{t|Electric}}- or {{type|Water}} attacks respectively while Heal Block is in effect. A {{status|poisoned}} Pokémon with {{a|Poison Heal}} is neither healed nor damaged.
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.


All other Abilities and items which restore HP during battle will continue to work as normal. Heal Block wears off after 5 turns.
Affected Pokémon can still use {{m|Present}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, and {{m|Aqua Ring}}. However, affected Pokémon cannot be healed by the effects of Wish (which cannot be used while affected by Heal Block) or these moves.
 
All Abilities and items which restore HP during battle will continue to work as normal.

===Generation V===
Heal Block can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}}. Heal Block now prevents the effect of {{m|Heal Pulse}} and [[Leftovers]].<!--Black Sludge and Shell Bell?--> {{m|Horn Leech}} will still inflict damage, but will not restore {{stat|HP}} when the user is affected by Heal Block.
Heal Block can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}}.
 
Affected Pokémon also cannot use the move {{m|Heal Pulse}}.
 
Affected Pokémon can no longer be healed by {{m|Heal Pulse}}, [[Black Sludge]], [[Leftovers]], and [[Shell Bell]].
 
Affected Pokémon will not consume held {{cat|HP-restoring Berries}} or [[Berry Juice]]. If an affected Pokémon consumes an HP-restoring Berry via {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Bug Bite}} or {{m|Pluck}}, it will not have its HP restored.
 
Affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Dry Skin}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} will take no damage from {{type|Water}} moves, but will not be healed by them either; affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Volt Absorb}} will take no damage from {{type|Electric}} moves, but will not be healed by them either. Affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Dry Skin}} or {{a|Rain Dish}} are prevented from healing during [[rain]]; affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Ice Body}} are prevented from healing during {{OBP|hail|weather condition}}, but are not damaged by it either. A {{status|poisoned}} Pokémon with {{a|Poison Heal}} that is affected by Heal Block is neither healed nor damaged.


===Generation VI===
===Generation VI===
Heal Block now prevents the moves {{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Draining Kiss}}, {{m|Drain Punch}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Horn Leech}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Oblivion Wing}}, and {{m|Parabolic Charge}} from being used. {{m|Leech Seed}} can still be used and will still inflict damage, but will not restore HP.
Affected Pokémon can no longer use {{cat|HP-draining moves}}, except {{m|Leech Seed}}. Leech Seed will inflict damage to the seeded Pokémon, but will not restore {{stat|HP}} to a Pokémon affected by Heal Block.
