Strength Sap is a Grass-type status move with no power, as it does not deal direct damage. It has 100% accuracy. This move is unique as it lowers the target's Attack stat by one stage and then restores the user's HP by an amount equal to the lowered Attack stat of the target. Strength Sap is particularly useful for sustaining the user's longevity in battle, especially when used against physically offensive opponents. It is a strategic move that can turn the tide of battles by simultaneously weakening the foe and healing the user, making it a valuable asset in both casual and competitive play.
Lowers the target's Attack by one stage. Heals the user by the target's current Attack, including modifiers, but not including this move's Attack-lowering effect. If the target's Attack is already at -6, this move will fail. In any other situation that would prevent a stat modification, the healing will still succeed.
