Leech Life Effect

Leech Life In-Game.jpg

Has the user grab and restrain an opposing Pokemon in the designated direction, dealing damage over time while restoring the user's HP. When this move is used, it consumes the user's entire muscle gauge. The number of hits and the amount of damage dealt per hit increases the more muscle gauge increments are consumed. This move ends if the user becomes unable to act for any reason or if the restrained Pokemon escapes by using an Eject Button or through some other means.

HP Recovery is 75% of Damage Dealt

Leech Life is a way for Buzzwole to go toe-to-toe with anyone in the UNITE arena. Leech Life provides healing equal to 75% of damage dealt!

Attack Stat Increases Healing

Since Leech Life scales with Attack, its healing also increases as Buzzwole's Attack stat increases. Take note of this whenever you're building Buzzwole!

How to Use Leech Life

Use as a Finisher

It's important to remember that Leech Life is a move that consumes the Muscle Gauge. With that in mind, use it as a finisher, particularly when the Muscle Gauge is full.

Use Only When Low HP

Leech Life's strength lies in its healing effect. It's best to use Leech Life only when you're at low HP to make the most out of the move.
