Absorb is a Grass-type special move that allows the user to drain the target's health and restore its own HP by half of the damage dealt. It has a base power of 20 and an accuracy of 100%. This move is particularly useful for sustaining the user's health during battles, especially against Water, Rock, and Ground-type Pokémon, which are weak to Grass-type moves. In Polished Crystal, Absorb can be learned by various Grass-type Pokémon, providing them with a reliable means of recovery in combat.
