Effects

The pokemon digs underground on the first turn, then attacks in the second. While underground, the pokemon cannot be hit by most moves.

However if Earthquake or Magnitude are used by the opponent while the user is underground, those moves will hit with double power.

Outside of battle

Dig can be used to escape from caves. You will be returned to the entrance, just like if you used an Escape Rope.
