Water Absorb (Ability)

Water Absorb (Japanese: ちょすい Water Storage) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.

In battle
When a Pokémon with Water Absorb is hit by a move, its HP is restored by one quarter of its maximum HP, and the move will have no effect on that Pokémon (if a Pokémon with this Ability already has full HP, the Water-type move will do nothing).

Water Absorb will not activate if the Pokémon is from the Water-type move.

If a Pokémon with Water Absorb is holding an Absorb Bulb or Luminous Moss, Water Absorb absorbs the move, so the item's effect is not triggered.

Outside of battle
Water Absorb has no effect outside of battle.
