Giga Drain Effect

Drains HP from opposing Pokemon in the area of effect, dealing damage to them and restoring the user's HP when it hits. Also reduces the damage the user receives for a short time.

How to Use Giga Drain

Catch As Many Targets

Pokemon UNITE - Venusaur Using Giga Drain on Wild Pokemon

Try to catch as many targets inside Giga Drain's cone, maximizing its damage and HP recovery. You can use this tactic on grouped wild Pokemon like Combee and Vespiquen to heal up fast.

Utilize the Reduced Damage Effect

Pokemon UNITE - Venusaur Using Petal Dance and Giga Drain on Enemy Team

Venusaur gains reduced damage for a short duration after casting Giga Drain. Utilize this effect to stay longer in fights. This mechanic works great with Petal Dance because of the cooldown reduction mechanic, enabling you to use Giga Drain in quick succession.
