This effect alleviates the necessity to have a Pokémon with {{m|Dig}} in the party, when a player wants to exit a cave or similar location quickly.
When used in the overworld while the player is in a [[cave]] or dungeon, the player is warped to the last [[Pokémon Center]] they healed at (or the [[player's house]] if they have never healed at a Pokémon Center).
