The user plants roots in the ground, allowing it to restore 1/16th of its max {{Stat|HP}} at the end of every turn. This roots the user firmly in place, preventing it from [[escape|escaping]] (unless it holds a [[Smoke Ball]] or its Trainer uses an [[escape item]]) or switching out (unless it holds a [[Shed Shell]]).

Even {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, {{m|Circle Throw}}, or the activation of a [[Red Card]] cannot force a Pokémon under the effect of Ingrain to switch out. However, {{cat|moves that switch the user out}} and the [[Eject Button]] switch a Pokémon out regardless of Ingrain; additionally, a Pokémon under the effect of Ingrain can be switched out when the game allows the player to switch before an opponent sends out their next Pokémon after their previous Pokémon fainted. The effects of Ingrain can be passed by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Generations IV-V===
A Pokémon under the effect of Ingrain can switch out if it holds a [[Shed Shell]]. Ingrain prevents the affected Pokémon from being switched out by the [[Red Card]], but does not affect the [[Eject Button]].


Ingrain causes the affected Pokémon to become [[grounded]], and therefore susceptible to {{type|Ground}} moves; {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{m|Sticky Web}} (only relevant when a Pokémon is switched in via Baton Pass and obtains Ingrain); and [[terrain]]—regardless of whether it is {{type|Flying}}, has {{a|Levitate}}, holds an [[Air Balloon]], or is under the effect of {{m|Magnet Rise}} or {{m|Telekinesis}}. {{m|Magnet Rise}} fails if used by a Pokémon under the effect of Ingrain; the move {{m|Telekinesis}} cannot affect a Pokémon under the effect of Ingrain.
