Affected Pokémon cannot use {{cat|status moves that heal the user immediately}}, {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Lunar Dance}}, or {{m|Healing Wish}}. If an affected Pokémon had already selected one of these moves to use before being affected by Heal Block, it is prevented from using the move (i.e. no {{PP}} is consumed). If a Pokémon cannot use any moves when selecting a move to use due to Heal Block (e.g., due to knowing no other moves that have PP, [[Choice Band]], etc.), it will use {{m|Struggle}}. Restricted moves can still be called by {{cat|moves that call other moves}} (such as {{m|Metronome}}), but they are prevented from being used.
