'''Excavate''' is a typeless move introduced in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] that breaks down a wall in front of the user. This means this move is a mere reproduction of [[Rock Smash]], but with 99 PP instead of 20 PP.


Excavate is only useful until the controlled Pokémon has enough [[IQ]] to activate the IQ Skill 'Super Mobile', which enables the Pokémon to break down a wall while walking into it. The uses of breaking down walls can be either to search for buried items or to get somewhere faster, preferably to the stairs. Like Rock Smash, Excavate does not do any damage in Mystery Dungeon 1.
This move is contained in a TM. This TM is not obtainable in-game, thus this move is only obtainable with use of cheating devices. No Pokémon can learn this move, so the TM is useless. Additionally, the machine was not included in the game code for [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. The move still remains functional, but its name (except in Japanese) and description are dummied out as "$$$".


The technical machine item that teaches this move was dummied out in the released version of the game, thus the move can only be obtained by use of cheating devices.  Additionally, the machine was not included in the game code for [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], and it's unknown whether the Excavate move is still in that game's code or removed entirely.
This move is likely to have been replaced by the [[HM]] {{m|Rock Smash}}, which has the same purpose as Excavate in these games.

Excavate (Japanese: ほりおこし Excavate) is a typeless move introduced in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team that breaks down a wall tile in front of the user.

This move is contained in a TM. This TM is not obtainable in-game, thus this move is only obtainable with use of cheating devices. No Pokémon can learn this move, so the TM is useless. Additionally, the machine was not included in the game code for Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky. The move still remains functional, but its name (except in Japanese) and description are dummied out as "$$$".

This move is likely to have been replaced by the HM Rock Smash, which has the same purpose as Excavate in these games.

Description

In all non-Japanese versions of Red and Blue Rescue Team, the move's description is "NULL", while the TM's description is partially translated in French and German, left blank in Italian, and fully translated in Spanish.
