Mega Drain30If Erika's Vileplume does damage to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), remove a number of damage counters from Erika's Vileplume equal to half the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Erika's Vileplume has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.
