Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Draining Kiss isSylveon's second move. It is obtained by reaching level 6 and upgradingBaby-Doll Eyes into it instead ofCalm Mind. The user blows a kiss at an enemy that goes back and forth between the user and the target multiple times. When the kiss touches the user, restore HP. When it hits the enemy, deal damage and decrease their movement speed for a short time. If the user and the enemy move too far away from each other, the kiss will disappear faster than normal. At level 12, the healing is increased.
