Water-Absorb

Water Absorb is an ability in the Pokémon series that provides significant strategic advantages in battles. When a Pokémon with Water Absorb is hit by a Water-type move, it does not take any damage; instead, it recovers a portion of its HP equivalent to 25% of its maximum health. This ability essentially renders Water-type moves not only harmless but beneficial to the Pokémon possessing it.

Effects: 1. HP Recovery: When a Pokémon with Water Absorb is struck by any Water-type attack, it absorbs the move, restoring 25% of its maximum HP. 2. Immunity to Water-type Moves: In addition to the healing effect, the Pokémon becomes immune to the damaging effects of Water-type moves. This can be a pivotal advantage in battles against Water-type opponents. 3. Synergy with Other Abilities and Moves: Water Absorb can synergize well with certain strategies, such as using a partner's Water-type attacks in double battles to heal

Effects

Whenever a water-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. Water moves will ignore this Pokémon's substitute.
