Liquid-Ooze

Liquid Ooze is an ability in the Pokémon series that primarily affects interactions with HP-draining moves. When a Pokémon with Liquid Ooze is hit by a move that drains health, such as Giga Drain, Drain Punch, or Leech Life, the attacker instead loses the amount of HP it would have recovered. This effectively turns these typically beneficial moves into detrimental actions for the opponent, adding a strategic layer to battles involving Pokémon with this ability.

Effects:

  1. HP Drain Reversal:

  2. Any opponent using a move that would normally drain HP and heal them will instead lose the same amount of HP they would have healed. For example, if an opponent uses Giga Drain and would normally recover 50 HP, they instead lose 50 HP.

  3. Recoil from HP-Draining Move:

  4. This ability unexpectedly punishes opponents relying on HP-draining moves, making them receive damage instead of healing.
