Effect

Changes the user's and target's remaining HP to the average of their current remaining HP. Ignores accuracy and evasion modifiers. This effect does not count as inflicting damage for other moves and effects that respond to damage taken.

This effect fails against a Substitute.

This reflects how the games treat moves and may be somewhat idealistic.
