Inflicts regular damage. User digs underground for one turn, becoming immune to attack, and hits on the second turn. During the immune turn, Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude still hit the user normally, and their power is doubled if appropriate. The user may be hit during its immune turn if under the effect of Lock-On, Mind Reader, or No Guard. This move cannot be selected by Sleep Talk.

Effect Changes

Gold Silver

Swift can hit the user while underground, and no other moves can. Due to a bug, if the user fails to carry out the move’s second turn, e.g. due to paralysis, it remains underground until it switches out or uses Dig again successfully. It can act as if it were aboveground in the meantime, but moves still miss it.
