## Description

HP draining moves (Dream Eater, Absorb, Mega Drain, Leech Life) have a glitchy interaction with substitutes in generation 1 of Pokemon, but only in the western releases of Red, Blue, and Yellow. Over time, this glitch eventually became the default interaction, so let's take a look at it.

DISCLAIMER: These videos are not made for kids. Pokemon is a franchise that appeals to fans of all ages, and many of our videos go over topics that are more likely to be relevant to older players. That includes information about older games that young kids likely wouldn't have access to, as well as competitive play, which many teenagers and adults take part in.
