Boosts the [[power]] of the holder's damaging moves by ~30% (5324/4096), but the holder takes [[damage]] equal to 10% of its maximum HP after it uses a damaging move (rounded down, but not less than 1). It does not boost the damage for self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} damage or {{cat|moves that deal direct damage}}, but the holder still takes damage when using direct damage moves.

If the holder uses a [[multi-strike move]], it takes damage after the last strike. {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} do not cause the user to take damage.
If a Pokémon steals a Life Orb with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}, it will take damage for the use of that move that stole the Life Orb. The Life Orb activates before {{a|Pickpocket}}, so even if a Pokémon's held Life Orb is stolen by Pickpocket, it still damages the attacking Pokémon for that move. If a Pokémon steals a Life Orb with {{a|Magician}}, it will take damage for the use of that move that stole the Life Orb. If the holder uses {{m|Fling}}, then Life Orb boosts the power but doesn't damage the user.
 
The Life Orb activates after the holder takes damage from {{a|Iron Barbs}} and the [[Rocky Helmet]].
