Absorb Move Detail

Absorb is a Grass-type move with 20 power and 100% accuracy. When used, it drains the target's HP, healing the user by 50% of the damage dealt. Absorb is one of the earliest Grass-type moves learned by many Pokémon, making it a useful tool for lower-level battles and training. Despite its relatively low power, its healing effect adds a strategic layer to battles, allowing the user to sustain itself while dealing damage.
