Leech-Life Move Detail
Leech Life is a Bug-type move with 80 power and 100% accuracy. It not only deals damage to the target but also heals the user by half of the damage inflicted. Originally, Leech Life had much lower base power, but it was significantly buffed from 20 to 80 power starting in Generation VII (Pokémon Sun and Moon). This upgrade made it a more viable option in both battle strategies and general gameplay, particularly for Bug-type Pokémon that can capitalize on the move's draining effect to enhance their longevity in battles.
