Effect

In battle

The user gains the Underground status on the turn this move is used, than attacks on the following turn. While in the Underground status, the user is invulnerable to most moves, but can still be hit by Earthquake, Magnitude and Fissure, dealing twice the regular damage in all generations except in Generation IV, where the move's power is doubled instead (resulting in virtually the same effect) in the case of the first two. The user can also be hit if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader, or if either the attacker or the underground Pokémon has No Guard, as well as being unaffected by the damage from sandstorm and hail.

If the user is holding a Power Herb, this item is consumed and Dig is executed in one turn.

Dig can be disrupted by full paralysis, infatuation, or self-inflicted damage due to confusion.

Some moves still work on a Pokémon with the Underground status:

• Helping Hand.
• In Generation I only, Bide (except in Pokémon Stadium), Whirlwind, Roar, Swift, and Transform.
• From Generation VI onwards, Toxic works when used by a Poison-type Pokémon.

If Mirror Move is used on a Pokémon with the Underground status, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Dig (or fail if it cannot).

Instruct fails when used on a Pokémon whose last move was Dig.

Generation I

If the user is fully paralyzed when it has the Underground status, the semi-invulnerable part will not be reset until the user switches out, fully executes Dig or Fly, or hits itself in confusion.

In Pokémon Stadium, full paralysis will reset the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig. Mirror Move will copy Dig on either of the turns it takes to execute.

Wild Pokémon with the Underground status can still be caught.

Dig has a power of 100 in Generation I.

Generations II and III

Dig's power changed from 100 to 60 in Generation II.

In Generation II only, due to a glitch, when Lock-On or Mind Reader are in effect, the moves Attract, Curse, Foresight, Mean Look, Mimic, Nightmare, Spider Web, and Transform cannot hit targets with the Underground status, and moves cannot lower stats of targets with the Underground status, (status moves such as String Shot will fail, and additional effects of moves such as Bubble will not activate).

Generation IV onwards

Dig's power changed from 60 to 80.

Wild Pokémon with the Underground status can no longer be caught.

Generation IX

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

The user cannot be targeted while underground, granting full immunity to attacks until the user surfaces. Earthquake cannot hit a target that is underground.

Outside of battle

Generation I

When used inside of a cave or certain buildings, the player is transported to the last Pokémon Center they healed at, or to their own house if they never healed at a Pokémon Center. No Badge is required to use this move outside of battle.

Due to an oversight in Pokémon Red and Blue, this can be used to escape from from the Sea Cottage or the Vermilion City Pokémon Fan Club. This was fixed in Pokémon Yellow.

Generations II to VI

When used inside of a cave or certain buildings (including Gyms), the player is transported to the entrance they used to enter the cave or building.

Generation VII

Dig can no longer be used outside of battle.

Generation VIII

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Dig cannot be used outside of battle. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it is once again a field move and functions as it did in Generations II to VI.

Generation IX

Dig once again can no longer be used outside of battle.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Dig gives the user the digging status on the first turn. While the user is underground, the Pokémon cannot be hit by moves except Earthquake and Magnitude. Unlike the core series games, Fissure will not hit Pokémon in the digging status. Projectiles will also pass the user as if their tile was empty. On the second turn, the user attacks the enemy in front. In the Rescue Team, Explorers and Adventure Squad series, the move's damage is doubled at the end of damage calculation.

In the aforementioned games, this move can be used only on a land tile; it will fail if used on any other type of tile (including the shallow water in water dungeons; while the animation will play, the move will fail regardless). Due to being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked. Dig cannot be used in a Pokémon Tower in the Adventure Squad series.

When used by a gigantic Pokémon in Super Mystery Dungeon onward, Dig hits 10 tiles away instead of 1 and also pierces through enemies and walls.
