Dig is a damage-dealing Ground-type move. It is TM28.

Effect

In battle

On the turn that Dig is selected, the user will dig underground, where the only attacks it cannot avoid are Earthquake, Magnitude, or Fissure. On the following turn, Dig will do damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Dig is selected, the user will not be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

If Dig is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user digs underground, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Dig (or fail if it cannot).

The user will receive double damage from Earthquake and Magnitude, unless the digging Pokémon would not receive damage from the moves normally (i.e. Flying-type Pokémon or those with the ability Levitate).

The user may also be hit underground if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader, or if it is attacked by a Pokémon with No Guard or has No Guard itself.

Damage from Sandstorm and Hail will not occur.

If a Power Herb is held by the user, Dig can be executed in one turn.

Outside of battle

When used inside of a cave, the player is transported to the entrance he or she used to enter the cave.

Description

Description The user burrows, then attacks on the second turn. It can also be used to exit dungeons.
