===Generation II onwards===
===Generation II===
⅛ of the target's HP is drained instead. {{m|Rapid Spin}} will release a Pokémon from the effects of Leech Seed. Also, Leech Seed no longer interacts with {{m|Toxic}} damage and Haze no longer affects Leech Seed. If a Pokémon uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, Leech Seed will still be under effect, even if the switched in Pokémon is a Grass-type. The user can no longer plant a seed on a target with a substitute (but setting up a substitute does not release a Pokémon from existing effects of Leech Seed).

Leech Seed will now drain HP at the end of each turn.


In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Leech Seed will only heal the Pokémon that is in the same position as the Pokémon that originally used Leech Seed was in. If no Pokémon is in that position (for example, if it fainted and could not be replaced), Leech Seed will not take any health from the seeded Pokémon. However, if a Pokémon is later able to occupy that position (if it was revived), Leech Seed will once again sap HP from the seeded Pokémon. This also means that for as long as a seeded Pokémon stays in battle and Leech Seed is not removed by Rapid Spin, that Pokémon will not be able to be seeded again.
