Dive (Japanese: ダイビング Diving) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III. The HM containing the move is given to the player by Steven Stone in Mossdeep City.
Dive cannot be used outside of battle without the Mossdeep City Gym badge in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald; the only games in which it is available as an HM.
Effect
In battle
Generation III
On the first turn, the user will dive down for one turn to become invulnerable to any attack with the exception of Surf and Whirlpool, which have doubled power; the user may also be hit underwater if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader, then struck the following turn. Sandstorm and Hail will not cause damage during the semi-invulnerable turn.
Dive's base power is 60.
Generation IV
Dive's base power was raised to 80. All other effects are the same.
Due to the lack of diving areas in Sinnoh, this move has been relieved of its HM status.
Outside of battle
Allows players to go underwater in specific spots when they are Surfing. The only region these spots (and the HM itself) have been found so far is in Hoenn.

Trivia
- The only non-Water type Pokémon that can learn Dive are legendaries and Dragonite. Since Dive has only been used in the anime when there have been convenient lakes or pools of water, it is unknown how the Pokémon can dive underwater when there is no water around.
