Targets a single adjacent Pokemon.
The user of Dive will hide underwater
on the first turn, disappearing from view and becoming invulnerable to most attacks. On the second turn, Dive deals damage.
While underwater, the Pokemon can only be hit by the moves Surf, Whirlpool or Low Kick, with Surf and Whirlpool dealing twice normal damage. Moves from No Guard Pokemon, or any move following an identify
move can also hit for regular power. The user also avoids end-of-turn damage from Sandstorm and Hail when underwater.
If the user is holding a Power Herb, Dive executes in one turn.
In Generations 1-3, Dive has a base power of 60.
While surfing, if you happen over a dark patch of water, you can dive below the surface and explore underwater. Two regions have areas where you can dive: Hoenn (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald) and Unova (Black, White) and Dive is an HM in those games.
