DescriptionHeals the user by 1/2 of its maximum HP, rounded half up. Competitive UseRecover is one of the best moves in the game, and it, or one of its equivalents (Roost, Heal Order, Milk Drink, or Slack Off), is almost mandatory for any defensive Pokemon. The move is somewhat native to Psychic-types but has been spread over a broad range of types throughout the generations. Almost every wall worth its salt will need this move or one of its equivalents, as HP recovery is a crucial gameplay element. Defensive Pokemon, such as Gastrodon, Jellicent, and Latias, partially owe their success and use to this move; seemingly excellent or useful Pokemon, such as Claydol or Bronzong, find themselves down the lower end of the tiering spectrum simply because they lack a recovery move. Related MovesMilk Drink is an exact equivalent. Slack Off is an exact equivalent. Softboiled is an exact equivalent. Roost is a Flying-type equivalent that grounds the user. Heal Order is a Bug-type equivalent. Wish is an equivalent, but HP is recovered at the end of the second turn. Moonlight and Morning Sun are equivalents, but vary in how much they heal depending on the weather. Synthesis is a Grass-type equivalent, but varies in how much it heals depending on the weather. |
