Volt Absorb (Pokémon Ability)
Effect
Absorbs electric moves, healing for 1/4 max HP.
In-Depth Effect
Whenever an electric-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. This ability will not take effect if this Pokémon is ground-type and thus immune to Electric moves. Electric moves will ignore this Pokémon's substitute. This effect includes non-damaging moves, i.e. thunder wave.
