Effect

In battle

The user gains the Submerged status on the turn this move is used, then attacks on the following turn.

While in Submerged status, the user is invulnerable to most moves, but can still be hit by Surf and Whirlpool, 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). The user can also be hit if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader, or if either the attacker or the submerged Pokémon has No Guard.

Sandstorm, hail, and Shadow Sky will not cause damage while a Pokémon has the Submerged status.

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

If a Cramorant with Gulp Missile uses Dive (or Surf), it catches prey and changes forms, unless it already caught prey or is Dynamaxed.

Generation III

Dive's base power is 60.

Wild Pokémon with the Submerged status can still be caught.

Dive can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Surf to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Rain Dance or Surf was used in the previous turn.

Generation IV onwards

Dive's base power was raised to 80.

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

Outside of battle

Main article: Underwater

Dive allows the player to go underwater in dark patches of water. This requires the player to be traveling on water using Surf. Conversely, if the player is already diving underwater, then Dive allows them to go back to the surface in patches illuminated by light from above.

Dive is usable either from the party, or by pressing A while being in a place where this move is usable (either when surfing in the dark patch or when diving under the light from above).

The only regions in which these spots (and the HM itself) have been seen are Hoenn and Unova. Thus, it is only an HM in Generations III, V, and VI.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Mind Badge is required to use Dive outside of battle.

Dive gives the user the diving status on the first turn. While the user is underwater, the Pokémon cannot be hit by moves, except with Surf and Whirlpool. Projectiles will also pass the user as if their tile was empty. On the second turn, the user attacks enemy in the 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 water tile (including the shallow water in water dungeons); it will fail if used on any other type of tile. If the water was drained with Drought Orb while in middle of Dive, the user will still attempt to attack, but fail due to not being on a water tile. Due to being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked. Dive cannot be used in a Pokémon Tower in the Adventure Squad series.

In Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Dive is a TM. However, only Mew is technically compatible with it as it was not a TM in the Generation IV core series games; the only other Pokémon who can use it are those who already learn Dive via level-up due to the game's logic allowing Pokémon to learn TM moves if they learn them via level-up, even if they are not actually compatible with the TM itself.

Dive is a move that Ditto can use after learning it from a Manaphy in Bleak Beach. It surrounds Ditto's head with an air bubble, allowing it to stay underwater indefinitely. The move is automatically used upon entering water and does not require PP. Ditto can also use the move to give bubbles to Smearguru and Tinkmaster, allowing them to travel underwater as well.

The user also catches Arrokuda or other wild Pokémon as they emerge from the puddle. For a short time after that, the user's next boosted attack will be able to deal increased damage. A maximum of three uses can be kept in reserve for this move. Upgraded to Dive+ when the Pokémon reaches Lv. 13. Upgrade: Increases damage dealt by this move.

Description

MDTDS Gives the user a Diving status, which causes the Pokémon to charge power for 1 turn, then try a powerful attack on the next turn. You can't link this move and can use it only on water.

Trivia

• Unlike Whirlpool and Defog, which can be freely known by a Pokémon sent forward to Generation V when said Pokémon is transferred from a game they are not an HM in, a Pokémon with Dive will be prevented from being migrated to Generation IV even in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, where Dive is not usable, required, or available to the player without trading.
• Dive is the only HM move not to have been featured in the animated series so far.
• Dive has had the most individual numbers of any HM move, having been HM06, HM07, and HM08 in different generations.
• The European Spanish dub has occasionally had Trainers order airborne Pokémon to use Dive, despite them being unable to learn it. This is an error caused by translating the English script and mistaking an order to "dive" with the name of the move.
