Generation III Ability

Volt Absorb

Effect, usage, and Pokémon with this ability.

Volt Absorb is a Pokémon ability introduced in Generation III. Absorbs electric moves, healing for 1/4 max HP.

Full effect

Whenever an electric-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. This ability will not take effect if this Pokémon is ground-type and thus immune to Electric moves. Electric moves will ignore this Pokémon's substitute. This effect includes non-damaging moves, i.e. thunder wave.

“If hit by an Electric-type move, the Pokémon has its HP restored instead of taking damage.”
