'''Flash''' (Japanese: '''フラッシュ''' ''Flash'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[HM05]] from Generations [[Generation I|I]] to [[Generation III|III]] and [[TM70]] from Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] to [[Generation VI|VI]], as well as in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.


==Effect==
==Effect==
===In battle===
===In battle===
====Generations I to III====
====Generations I to II====
Flash decreases the target's {{stat|accuracy}} stat by one stage.  
Flash decreases the target's {{stat|accuracy}} stat by one stage. The accuracy of Flash is 70%.
 
In the Generation I and II [[core series]] games, when an in-game opponent outside of the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} uses Flash, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.
 
====Generation III====
Flash no longer has an additional chance to fail when used by an in-game opponent.
 
====Generation IV to VII====
The accuracy of Flash changed to 100%.
 
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Flash, the user's {{stat|Evasion|evasiveness}} is raised by one stage.


The accuracy of Flash is 70% in these generations.
====Generation VIII====
=====Pokémon Sword and Shield=====
Flash cannot be selected in a battle.


====Generation IV====
====Generation IX====
The accuracy of Flash changes to 100%.
Flash cannot be selected in a battle.


===Outside of battle===
===Outside of battle===
====Generations I to V====
{{main|Darkness}}
Outside of battle, Flash will illuminate dark caves. The effect will last until the player exits the cave. When the player re-enters the cave, it will be dark again.
In certain games, Flash requires a specific [[badge]] to use outside of battle; the Boulder Badge{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}, Zephyr Badge{{sup/2|GSC}}, or Knuckle Badge{{sup/3|RSE}}.
 
====Generations I to II====
Flash will illuminate [[darkness|dark]] caves. The effect will last until the player exits the cave. When the player re-enters the cave, it will be dark again.
 
====Generation III to V====
Flash will only illuminate a large circle around the player to increase visibility in caves.


In [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it will light up the entire screen. In other games, it only illuminates a large circle around the player.
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and {{game|Platinum}}, it will light up the entire screen as it did in Generation I.


====Generation VI====
====Generation VI====
As there are no dark caves in Generation VI, Flash will instead cause the screen to zoom out, revealing more of the surrounding area than normally is visible. In addition, it also decreases the chance of encountering [[wild Pokémon]].
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], as there are no dark caves to be found, Flash will instead cause the screen to zoom out, revealing more of the surrounding area than normally is visible. In addition, it also decreases the chance of encountering [[wild Pokémon]].
 
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], dark areas where Flash can be used to light up the surroundings are present once again. However, in this game the dark areas are shown to be more dimly lit rather than completely dark, making the move less needed than before.
 
=====Zoom out=====
In X and Y, Flash may be used to zoom out the perspective in the following caves:
*[[Connecting Cave]]
*[[Reflection Cave]]
*[[Frost Cavern]]
*[[Terminus Cave]]
*{{kal|Victory Road}}
 
====Generation VII====
Flash is no longer usable outside of battle. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player can use [[Secret Technique]] Light Up instead.
 
====Generation VIII====
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Flash can once again be used outside of battle to illuminate dark caves.
 
====Generation IX====
Flash is no longer usable outside of battle.


====[[Cave]]s in which Flash is usable====
====Puzzles involving Flash====
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{normal color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{normal color}}"
