How it works in Champions
For 2 turns, the target is prevented from restoring any HP as long as it remains active. During the effect, healing and moves are unusable, and Abilities and items that grant healing will not heal the user. If an affected Pokémon uses Baton Pass, the replacement will remain unable to restore its HP. Pain Split and the Regenerator Ability are unaffected.
- Sound: goes through Substitute
“The user attacks the target with unpleasant sound waves. For two turns, the target is prevented from recovering HP through moves, Abilities, or held items.”
