My Scrafty knowsDrain Punch.
Drain Punch inflicts damage,and up to 50%of the damage dealt to the target is restored to the user as HP.
It holds the item Big Root. I want to know which is happening.

Basically, does the Big Root boost it to65%or80%??

It will be65%, as the 30% boost applies to the amountdrained, not the amount itwilldrain.
It saysincreased, which can,most probably, solve our problem.
Also, Leech Seed, if dealing 10 damage, will damage 13 with a Big Root. This is a similar case, with30% of the HP healed will be added to the total healing.
Lookherefor the Leech Seed example.
This question also tells a lot(your own answer) :http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/69224/does-the-root-make-draining-moves-more-powerful-just-heal-more
Note : This is what I feel, after having done the Math. However, if anyone differs, then, I won’t deny, considering this is a tricky question. Also,I might be wrong for all I know.
