Heal Block restricts the targets from healing in certain ways for five turns.
Heal Block restricts the targets from healing in certain ways for five turns.


Affected Pokémon cannot use {{cat|status moves that heal the user immediately}}, {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Lunar Dance}}, or {{m|Healing 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}}. 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 are unable to use {{cat|status moves that heal the user immediately}}, {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Lunar Dance}}, {{m|Healing Wish}}, {{m|Heal Pulse}}, {{m|Floral Healing}}, or target an ally with {{m|Pollen Puff}}. These Pokémon are also unable to be targeted by Heal Pulse, Floral Healing, or an ally's Pollen Puff, or healed by {{m|Wish}} (even if Wish was used successfully before the Heal Block). They can still use {{m|Present}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Aqua Ring}}, and {{m|Grassy Terrain}}, but cannot be healed by the effects of these moves.


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.
If a Pokémon had already selected one of the blocked moves to use before being affected by Heal Block, it is prevented from using it and [[PP]] will not be deducted.


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.
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.


All Abilities and items which restore HP during battle will continue to work as normal.

===Generation V===
If an affected Pokémon uses {{cat|HP-draining moves}}, they still inflict damage but are unable to restore [[HP]]. The user still takes damage if the target has {{a|Liquid Ooze}}.
Heal Block can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}} and {{a|Magic Bounce}}.


Affected Pokémon cannot use the move {{m|Heal Pulse}} nor be healed by it.
A Pokémon affected by Heal Block is still able to use {{m|Leech Seed}}, causing the target to become [[seeding|seeded]]. However, {{m|Sappy Seed}} and Heal Block do not interact because they are not available in the same core series games. The seeded Pokémon still takes damage every turn as usual, regardless of the seeder being affected by Heal Block. As long as the user of Leech Seed (or the Pokémon who replaced it in the same spot) is affected by Heal Block, no HP will be restored, but it will still take damage if the seeded Pokémon has {{a|Liquid Ooze}}.


Affedted Pokémon can no longer be healed by [[Black Sludge]], [[Leftovers]], or [[Shell Bell]]. Affected Pokémon will no longer 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.
Heal Block can be reflected by {{a|Magic Bounce}}.


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 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. Affected Pokémon with the ability {{a|Poison Heal}} will not be healed or damaged if they are {{status|poisoned}}.
Heal Block's effect can be transferred via {{m|Baton Pass}}.


Heal Block will not prevent Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Regenerator}} from having their HP restored upon switching out.
===Generation IV===
All Abilities and items which restore HP during battle continue to work as usual.


===Generations VI and VII===
===Generations V to VII===
Affected Pokémon cannot use the move {{m|Floral Healing}} nor be healed by it. They also cannot use Pollen Puff targeting an ally (but they can use it targeting an opponent), nor be healed by the move. 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.
Affected Pokémon can no longer be healed by [[Black Sludge]], [[Leftovers]], or [[Shell Bell]]. Affected Pokémon will no longer 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 can still use {{m|Grassy Terrain}}, but they cannot be healed by the effects of Grassy Terrain.
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 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. Affected Pokémon with the ability {{a|Poison Heal}} will not be healed or damaged if they are {{status|poisoned}}. Affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Cheek Pouch}} will not be healed after eating a [[Berry]].


Affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Cheek Pouch}} will not be healed after eating a [[Berry]].
Heal Block will not prevent Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Regenerator}} from having their HP restored upon switching out.


Affected Pokémon can still restore HP using the Z-Power effects of status [[Z-Move]]s. Heal Block cannot prevent a Pokémon from using or being healed by any Z-Move, including moves like Z-{{m|Soft-Boiled}} and Z-{{m|Heal Pulse}}.

Heal Block targets all enemies in the same room and inflicts the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Heal Block}} status condition, preventing them from having their HP restored, including natural HP recovery. This status condition lasts for 5-7{{sup/md|TDS}} / 6{{sup/md|GtI}}{{sup/md|SMD}} turns. This move is affected by {{m|Magic Coat}}.
