Effect
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.
Meta
This reflects how the games treat moves and may be somewhat idealistic.
Flavor
Flavor Text
-
The user restores its HP by the same amount as the target’s Attack stat. It also lowers the target’s Attack stat.
