Strength Sap lowers the target's {{stat|Attack}} stat by one stage, then restores the user's HP by the same amount as the target's effective {{stat|Attack}} stat before Strength Sap was used. The Attack stat considered is adjusted by stat stages, but not the Attack stat stage change just inflicted.

The target's Attack stat is lowered even if the user of Strength Sap has full HP. If the target already has -6 Attack, Strength Sap fails; however, if the target of Strength Sap has +6 Attack and the Ability {{a|Contrary}}, Strength Sap will still restore HP. Strength Sap will still restore HP even if the target is protected by {{m|Mist}} or {{DL|Battle item|Guard Spec.}} or its Attack is not lowered due to the Abilities Contrary, {{a|Hyper Cutter}}, {{a|Clear Body}}, {{a|White Smoke}}, {{a|Full Metal Body}}, or {{a|Flower Veil}}.

Strength Sap does not take {{a|Huge Power}} into account.  


If the user is holding a [[Big Root]], it recovers 30% more HP. If the target has the Ability {{a|Liquid Ooze}}, the user will lose the amount of HP it would have gained instead. Items like [[Thick Club]] do not affect the HP restored.
