Giga-Drain Move Detail
Giga Drain is a Grass-type move with 75 power and 100% accuracy. It enables the user to drain half the damage inflicted on the opponent and restore its own HP. Giga Drain is notable for its balance between offense and recovery, making it a popular choice for Grass-type Pokémon and other Pokémon with access to Grass-type moves. The move was originally introduced in Generation II and has seen an increase in power from its initial 60 to 75 in later generations. Giga Drain is often utilized in both competitive and casual play due to its ability to sustain the user's health while dealing significant damage.
