Volt Absorb (ability)

Volt Abosrb is an Ability introduced in Generation III.

In battle
When a Pokémon with Volt Absorb is hit by a damaging -type 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 Electric-type move will do nothing). Volt Absorb activates when a Pokémon is hit by an Electric-type status move.

Volt Absorb will not activate if the Pokémon is protected from the Electric-type move.

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