Flash (Japanese: フラッシュ Flash) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I. In the first three generations, it was HM05, but in Generation IV, it was changed to TM70.
Effect
In battle
Generation I – III
Flash decreases the target's Accuracy stat by one stage. Flash will do nothing if the target's Accuracy stat has a stage of -6, and will fail if the target has a Substitute or is under the effect of Mist.
The accuracy of Flash is 70% in these generations.
Generation IV
The accuracy of Flash changes to 100%. All other effects are the same.
Outside of battle
Outside of battle, Flash will illuminate dark caves. The effect will last until the player exits the cave. When the player re-enters the cave, it will be dark again.

Trivia
- Flash is used to open the Ancient Tomb, Registeel's cave, in Pokémon Emerald.
- Flash is the only move so far that has been converted from an HM into a TM. It is not required to advance gameplay in Generation IV (nor was it in Generation II, considering its remakes), and only one Sinnoh location, Wayward Cave, requires knowledge of the move to enter.
