== How much recovery? ==
Prior to XY's release this move was rumored to have 100% recovery, but that was argued down as nonsensical.  But now we can verify it firsthand -- I did an experiment earlier to verify {{m|Oblivion Wing}}'s recovery rate (which appears to be 75%), so here's another experiment for Draining Kiss:
* Finding a wild {{p|Smeargle}} on Route 6, I made it {{m|Sketch}} {{m|Endeavor}}, then swapped to a (Lv.36) Klefki.
* Smeargle reduced Klefki to 40HP.
* Draining Kiss knocked out Smeargle in one shot and restored 30HP (a 75% recovery) to Klefki.
Same experiment, but holding a Big Root:
* wild Smeargle reduced Klefki to 42 HP.
* Draining Kiss knocked out Smeargle and restored 42HP (apparent 100% recovery) to Klefki.
Looks liks this one is 75% too.  Good luck explaining the apparent 100% recovery with a Big Root, though.... --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 07:57, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
