Dive (Japanese:ダイビングDiving) is a damage-dealingWater-typemove introduced inGeneration III. It is:
- HM08 in Generation III.
- HM06 inGeneration V.
- HM07 inPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
- TM45 inPokémon Sword and Shield.
Effect
In battle
The user dives underwater and becomes protected against most moves during the first turn, known as asemi-invulnerable turn, and then the user deals damage in the second turn.
Surf andWhirlpool are able to hit a submerged Pokémon, dealing twice the regular damage in all generations except inGeneration IV, where the move's power is doubled instead (resulting in virtually the same effect).
The user can also be hit underwater if it was previously targeted byLock-On orMind Reader, or if either the attacker or the submerged Pokémon hasNo Guard.
Sandstorm,hail, andShadow Sky will not cause damage during the semi-invulnerable turn.
If the user is holding aPower Herb, this item is consumed and Dive will be executed in one turn.
If aCramorant withGulp Missile uses Dive (orSurf), it catches prey andchanges forms, unless it already caught prey or isDynamaxed.
Generation III
Dive's base power is 60.
Pokémon can becaught during the semi-invulnerable stage of Dive.
Dive can be used as the first move of aPokémon Contest combination, causingSurf 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 ifRain Dance orSurf was used in the previous turn.
Generation IV onwards
Dive's base power wasraised to 80.
Pokémon can no longer becaught during the semi-invulnerable stage of Dive.
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 usingSurf. 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 theparty, 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 onlyregions in which these spots (and the HM itself) have been seen areHoenn andUnova. Thus, it is only an HM in GenerationsIII,V, andVI.
InPokémon Ruby, Sapphire,Emerald,Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, theMind Badge is required to use Dive outside of battle.

In other games
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
Dive gives the user thediving status on the first turn. While the user is underwater, the Pokémon cannot be hit by moves, except withSurf andWhirlpool. Projectiles will also pass the user as if their tile was empty. On the second turn, the user attacks enemy in the front. In theRescue Team,Explorers andAdventure Squad series, the move's damage is doubled at the end of damage calculation.
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 aPokémon Tower in theAdventure Squad series.
In Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Dive is a TM. However, no Pokémon are technically compatible with it as it was not a TM in the Generation IV core series games; the only 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.

Pokémon Rumble Rush
Pokémon UNITE
In Pokémon UNITE, Dive isCramorant's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 6 and upgradingWhirlpool into it instead ofSurf. The user turns the designated area into a puddle, then dives to that area, shoving and damaging enemies in the area. The user catches prey for Gulp Missile as they emerge from the puddle. Holds 3 uses in reserve. There is a 1.5 sec cooldown between charges, which is reduced with cooldown reduction. At level 13, the move's damage is increased.
Gyarados'sUnite Move,Dragon Current, is similar to Dive.

Trivia
- UnlikeWhirlpool andDefog, which can be freely known by a Pokémon sent forward toGeneration 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 toGeneration IV even inPokémon 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 theanimated series so far.
- Dive has had the most individual numbers of any HM move, having beenHM06,HM07, andHM08 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.
