Dig is a Ground-type damage-dealing move.
Function
In Battle
Upon the first turn, the Pokémon digs into the ground thus allowing it to avoid attacks from the opponent with a few exceptions. These exceptions include Earthquake and Magnitude which will have twice as much damage on the Pokémon underground, Fissure, and Pokémon with the ability, No Guard. Dig will inflict a physical attack on the second turn.
Out of Battle
Dig can be used for diggable patches and traveling through digways in caves. Valuable Items, evolutionary items, Pokémon, and more can be dug up from them. The Thunder Badge and a happiness level of at least 150 are required to use Dig outside of battle.
A Shovel can be used alternatively for diggable patches.
