Your move: Mega Drain

  • Mega Drain (Japanese: メガドレイン Mega Drain) is a damage-dealing Grass-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM21 in that Generation. It was then replaced by Frustration in Generation II.
  • Mega Drain is the second in a line of three Grass-type HP draining attacks, the other two being Absorb and Giga Drain.
  • Mega Drain inflicts damage, and 50% of the damage dealt to the target is restored to the user. The amount of HP recovered is always rounded down. However, if this move deals 1 HP of damage, 1 HP will be restored to the user.
  • When used on a Pokémon with the Liquid Ooze ability, the user will lose the amount of HP it would have gained instead.
  • Mega Drain was first used by Mandi's Golbat in the anime episode Round One - Begin!.
  • Mega Drain first appeared in the Pokémon Trading Card Game in the Jungle expansion on Butterfree, and appeared most recently in the National Beginning Set on Serperior. It does damage while healing damage from the user.
