'''Substitute''' (Japanese: '''みがわり''' ''Scapegoat'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM50]] in Generation I before losing its TM status in Generation II. It regained its TM status, albeit as [[TM90]], in Generation IV onwards. It was {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s [[signature move]] in [[Generation II]].
'''Substitute''' (Japanese: '''みがわり''' ''Substitute'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].


==Effect==
It is:
===Generation I===
* [[TM50]] in Generation I.
Using 25% of its maximum {{stat|HP}}, the user creates a substitute with 1 HP more than the amount of HP lost by the user. If the user's current HP is less than 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to make a substitute and the move will fail. If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will faint upon creating the substitute. If the user's maximum HP is 3 or less, it will not lose any HP when the substitute is made. A substitute will have the same type and stats as the Pokémon that created it.
* [[TM90]] from [[Generation IV]] to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* [[TM08]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* [[TR20]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM103]] in [[Generation IX]].


Once created, any damage inflicted by the opponent will be redirected to the substitute instead. If the substitute runs out of HP (it takes total damage equal to or greater than the HP used to make it), it will break. A [[One-hit knockout move|one-hit KO move]], if it hits, will always break a substitute.
It was {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s [[signature move]] in [[Generation II]].


While the user has a substitute up, the opponent cannot lower the user's [[stat stages]], nor {{status|poison}}, {{status|freeze}}, {{status|burn}}, or {{status|flinch}} it. The opponent can {{status|paralyze}} the user through a [[status move]]'s primary effect (like {{m|Thunder Wave}}), but not a damaging move's side effect (like {{m|Thunderbolt}}). Conversely, the opponent can confuse the user through a damaging move's side effect (like {{m|Confusion}}), but not a status move's primary effect (like {{m|Confuse Ray}}), and not if the damaging move causes the substitute to break. A substitute does not protect the user against {{status|sleep}}. If the substitute breaks after an opponent's move, it will do so after all primary and side effects of the move have been determined. Therefore, for example, {{m|Ice Beam}} will never freeze the user even if the move just caused the substitute to break.
==Effect==
{{main|Substitute (doll)#Effect|Substitute doll → Effect}}
This move creates a {{OBP|substitute|doll}} at the cost of 25% of the user's maximum [[HP]] (rounded up). The created substitute has 1/4 of the user's maximum HP.


A substitute will not prevent the user from gaining HP or from losing HP due to [[crash damage]], [[recoil|recoil damage]], or recurring damage from an already existing [[status condition]]. Additionally, Substitute will not alter the use of the opponent's {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Super Fang}}, {{m|Transform}}, or {{cat|moves that partially trap|partial trapping moves}}; the user's {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Counter}}, or {{m|Rage}}; nor {{m|Haze}} by either side.
The move fails if the user already has a substitute or if losing the required HP would cause the user to [[faint]]. By extension, Substitute will fail if used by {{p|Shedinja}} (who only has 1 HP).


Due to a glitch, if a user with a substitute takes self-inflicted confusion damage, the damage is applied to the opponent's substitute instead. If the opponent does not have a substitute, the damage effectively vanishes.
{{m|Snatch}} will steal the effect of Substitute when it is used.


If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, it will not need to recharge. If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will not faint, though its picture will still disappear until it switches out (or uses Substitute itself). If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with a recoil move, it will not take any recoil damage. If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with a {{cat|HP-draining moves|HP-draining move}}, no HP will be restored to it. If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with {{m|Pay Day}}, that use of Pay Day will not count toward the money its Trainer picks up at the end of the battle. If an opponent attacks a substitute with a multi-strike move, the hits will automatically end if the substitute breaks.
===Generation VI onwards===
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Substitute, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.


In Stadium, several oddities and glitches listed above were fixed:
===Unaffected moves===
* A substitute will always block the opponent from inflicting paralysis and confusion, as well as sleep (thus blocking all non-volatile status conditions).
{{MoveResearch|
* If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will faint as usual.
* Confirm if Roar/Whirlwind are blocked in Gen I
* Draining moves will fail entirely against a Pokémon with a substitute.
* Confirm Supersonic in Gen V
* If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to create a substitute.
* Confirm if Mimic is blocked from Gen III onwards
* Which moves are unaffected in Generation VIII and IX?}}
Since [[Generation VI]], a Pokémon with {{a|Infiltrator}} can ignore a substitute with any move except {{m|Transform}} or {{m|Sky Drop}}.


===Generation II===
Different moves are able to ignore Substitute and Shed Tail in each generation. Moves marked with a '''✓''' in the following table can affect a Pokémon regardless of its substitute. (This applies to moves used by one Pokémon against another with a substitute; if a Pokémon with a substitute uses a move that affects itself, it receives the move's effect normally.)
In general, the fixed effects from Stadium in Generation I are retained. For example:
* If the user's current HP is equal to or lower than 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to create a substitute.
* The substitute will prevent the opponent from lowering the user's stat stages, inflicting any non-volatile status condition, or flinching it.
* The substitute will not prevent the user from gaining HP, nor will it prevent the user from losing HP due to recoil, an already-existing status condition such as poison, or other forms of recurrent damage such as by a {{m|Sandstorm}}.
* Moves that change effect based on the user's current HP (such as Super Fang) will not behave any differently with Substitute.
* Rage works as normal.
* If the user's substitute is broken by an opponent's Self-Destruct or Explosion, the opponent will faint.
* A substitute protects the user against draining moves, including an opponent's {{m|Pain Split}} (even if the user would gain HP from it). (The user can still itself use Pain Split normally, even if it would lose HP.)


Mechanics changed between Stadium and Generation II include:
{| class="roundtable mw-collapsible" style="margin:auto; background: #{{normal color light}}; border:5px solid #{{normal color}}; text-align:center"
* The substitute's HP is now exactly equal to the HP lost to create the substitute, instead of being 1 + the HP lost.
|- style="background:#{{normal color light}}"
* Leech Seed is now considered a draining move, and will fail against a substitute.
!rowspan=2|{{color2|000|Move}}
* If the user takes self-inflicted confusion damage, the damage will be given directly to the user rather than to the substitute.
!rowspan=2|{{color2|000|Type}}
* The user can use Bide, but the damage it inflicts will not count damage dealt to the user's substitute.
!rowspan=2|{{color2|000|Damage category|Cat}}
* Because recoil damage is calculated from how much HP the target has actually lost, if an opponent hits the user's substitute with a recoil move, the opponent will only take 1 HP recoil damage. ({{m|Jump Kick}} and {{m|High Jump Kick|Hi Jump Kick}} crash damage is calculated normally.) Breaking a substitute with a recoil move no longer prevents recoil damage.
!colspan=7|{{color2|000|Generation|Generations}}
* A multi-strike move can now continue hitting even after a substitute has been broken, then dealing damage directly to the targeted Pokémon. (However, as {{m|Twineedle}} performs the poison check only once at the beginning of the move, it will never poison a target with a substitute even if the first hit breaks it and the second hit directly damages the target.)
* Pay Day now works as normal.
 
Mechanics newly introduced in Generation II include:
* A substitute can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed, and it will keep whatever HP it has remaining.
* While behind a substitute, the user is unable to use {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}}. The opponent can still use these moves.
* While behind a substitute, the user is immune to an opponent's {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Mind Reader}}, {{m|Nightmare}}, {{type|Ghost}} {{m|Curse}}, and {{m|Sketch}}. The user can still use these moves itself.
* While most end-of-turn effects (such as Sandstorm) bypass a substitute, a substitute redirects the damage from {{m|Future Sight}}. It will also redirect the damage from {{m|Pursuit}} as the user switches out.
* Partial-trapping moves will not trap the user if they are behind a substitute. In addition, creating a substitute will cause the user to escape a partial-trapping move.
* If the opponent uses {{m|Swagger}}, the user will have their Attack sharply increased as normal, but the substitute will prevent them from becoming confused.
* If the opponent uses {{m|Thief}}, the user's item will not be stolen. The user can still use Thief normally itself.

===Generation III===
}}
The following effects are carried over/expanded from Generation II:
* The opponent still cannot lower the user's stat stages, so the substitute will now block {{a|Intimidate}} (which is the only [[Ability]] affected by it).
* The opponent cannot remove the user's held item, which now applies to {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Knock Off}}, and {{m|Trick}} (the latter will fail even if the user is not holding an item). The user can still use Trick to lose its own held item.
* The substitute will block damage from {{m|Doom Desire}} as well as Future Sight.
* {{m|Yawn}} is blocked by the substitute, as it is considered a move that inflicts sleep. However, if the user was already drowsy from Yawn on the turn it created the substitute, it can still fall asleep.
 
The following effects are changed between Generations II and III:
* Twineedle now performs its poison check on both hits, and so can poison a target if it broke a substitute on its first hit.
* Rage's effect will now no longer activate if its user's substitute is hit.
* Swagger (and the newly introduced {{m|Flatter}}) will now fail entirely against a substitute.
* Pay Day now does not cause its Trainer to gain money if it hits a substitute.<!-- Constrast: In Gen II, it always gained money, in Gen I, it gained money unless it *broke* a substitute. -->
* Protect, Detect, and Endure now behave as normal.
* Damaging draining moves (''except'' {{m|Dream Eater}}) can now hit a substitute as normal, and the user of the move will gain HP depending on the HP the substitute lost. The same applies for recoil moves. (Leech Seed is still blocked by the substitute.)
* Trapping moves are now blocked by the substitute.
* Mimic is now blocked by the substitute.
 
The following effects are newly introduced in Generation III:
* {{p|Shedinja}}, having a maximum of only 1 HP, cannot make a substitute.
* Substitute can be stolen by {{m|Snatch}}.
* {{m|Smelling Salts|SmellingSalt}} will not have any of its additional effects applied if it hits a substitute, even if the Pokémon behind it is paralyzed.

===Generation IV===
The following effects are carried over/expanded from Generation III:
* The opponent still cannot remove the user's held item, which now also applies to {{m|Pluck}} and {{m|Bug Bite}}. {{m|Switcheroo}} behaves identically to Trick.
* Like Counter and Mirror Coat, {{m|Metal Burst}} also does not count damage taken by its user's substitute.
* Similar to SmellingSalt, {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} will not have any of its additional effects applied if it hits a substitute, even if the Pokémon behind it is asleep.
 
The following effects are changed between Generations III and IV:
* Twineedle reverts to its Generation II behavior.{{fact}}
* Self-confusing [[berry|Berries]] such as the [[Figy Berry]] now no longer confuse a user behind a substitute.
 
The following effects are newly introduced in Generation IV:
* The [[Enigma Berry]] will not activate if its holder is behind a substitute.
* If an opponent's {{m|U-turn}} breaks the user's substitute, and the opponent then switches in a Pokémon with Intimidate, the substitute will not fade until after it has successfully blocked the new Intimidate.
* If {{m|Toxic Spikes}} are up, using Baton Pass to pass a substitute will prevent the recipient from being poisoned as usual, but if the recipient is a grounded Poison-type, the Toxic Spikes will still be absorbed.
* The user will be protected from all side effects of an opponent's {{m|Fling}}, including beneficial ones.
* An opponent's {{m|Defog}} will not lower the user's {{stat|evasiveness}}, but it will still remove fog as well as artifacts (Reflect, Stealth Rock, etc.) on the user's side.
* A substitute blocks {{m|Copycat}}, {{m|Embargo}}, {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Psycho Shift}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, {{m|Heal Block}}, and {{m|Acupressure}} (for the latter, regardless of whether an ally or the user itself targeted the user with Acupressure).

===Generation V===
{{m|Incinerate}}'s item-removing effect will not work against a substitute, but the Ability {{a|Pickpocket}} and the [[Item Drop]] from [[Wonder Launcher]] still will. A user behind a substitute can use {{m|Bestow}} to remove its own held item, but an opponent cannot use Bestow against the user's substitute.
 
If {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Clear Smog}}, {{m|Circle Throw}}, or {{m|Dragon Tail}} target a substitute, their secondary effects will not trigger. The move {{m|Sky Drop}} will not work against a substitute at all.
 
A user behind a substitute can now use {{m|Acupressure}} to target itself, but can still not be targeted by allies.
 
Substitute now blocks {{m|Transform}} and {{a|Imposter}}.
 
Twineedle reverts again to its Generation III behavior. Dream Eater can now hit a Pokémon behind a substitute and acts the same way as other damaging draining moves.
 
The following moves are not blocked by the substitute:

|-

{| border=1 width="100%" class="sortable" class="expandable" style="background: #FFF; border:1px solid #{{normal color light}}; border-collapse:collapse; margin:auto"

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Substitute turns the foe in front into a [[Status ailments in Mystery Dungeon#Other status condition categories|decoy]], causing other foes to attack it.
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, Substitute targets the Pokémon in front of them, ally or enemy, and inflicts the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Decoy}} status condition on them. The Pokémon with this status will be preferentially attacked by allies and enemies. The status lasts for 21-50 turns. This move is affected by {{m|Snatch}}.


===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], Substitute instead causes the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Substitute}} status by cutting the user's HP in half. The user will not be targeted by enemies, but the user cannot use moves or items, and cannot restore its HP naturally. If the user is attacked by a move (such as {{m|Earthquake}} which affects the whole room), Substitute will not protect the user from damage. The status lasts 11 turns.
{{sbw|Substitute}} is the down special move for {{SSB|Greninja}}. The substitute doll it summons resembles those from the main games, though it can also summon a log. The move functions as a counter, attacking opponents who hit Greninja while it is posing. Additionally, there is a trophy of the substitute doll in the Wii U version of the game.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
Substitute is the move used by {{p|Whimsicott}} when called as a Support Pokémon. It conjures up a set of three substitute dolls that rotate around the Battle Pokémon, blocking incoming projectile attacks.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201129160613/http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Pokken_Tournament_DX/Projectile_Priority#Field_Phase_Whimsicott_Nullifications Pokken Tournament DX/Projectile Priority | Shoryuken Wiki!], archived November 29, 2020 on Internet Archive</ref> It also restores a little of the Battle Pokémon's HP.
==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Substitute is {{p|Greninja}}'s second move as {{p|Froakie}}. The user dashes while leaving behind a targetable decoy. The user is unstoppable while dashing. After evolving into {{p|Frogadier}} at level 5, this move is replaced by either {{m|Double Team}} or {{m|Smokescreen}}.
[[Substitute (doll)|Substitute Dolls]] appear on their own as part of the Practice Area mode.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[File:Substitute Fly PBR.png|thumb|200px|A substitute "levitating"]]
* {{p|Shedinja}} can learn Substitute despite being incapable of using it, as its HP is too low to create a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.
[[File:Sakurai used Substitute.jpg|thumb|250px|A substitute in place of Masahiro Sakurai]]
** However, in the Mystery Dungeon series, it is able to use the move, due to being able to possess more than 1 HP.
* In most games, the decoy and the Pokémon will switch places when the Pokémon executes a move. The only exception is in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], where the battle animations play out as if the substitute was the one performing the move. It generally remains stationary, except when using moves like {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Bounce}}.
* This move plays its animation even if the battle animations are turned off.
* In the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|II}} games, the substitute resembles the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Rhydon}}.
* In [[Generation I]] games, if the [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Substitute and Minimize glitch|player used Substitute]], then looked at the stats of a Pokémon in their party and then exited the menu, the opponent's Pokémon sprite would change to a glitchy version of the Pokémon that was just viewed.
* {{p|Shedinja}} can learn Substitute despite being incapable of using it, as its HP is too low to create a substitute.
* In [[Generation VII]], Substitute is the only TM that can be learned by all Pokémon that can learn TMs, except Pokémon that can only learn moves via TM that they can also learn by other means.
* Substitutes are interpreted differently throughout all forms of Pokémon canon. In the games, a substitute is seen as an inanimate decoy which simply stands in for the Pokémon. In the anime, substitutes are seen to be clones of the user. In the manga, substitutes are like the anime representation, but more spectral and transparent, as shown by [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]] in ''[[PS028|Peace of Mime]]''.
* In the Mystery Dungeon series, if the player eats an X-Eye Seed, all other Pokémon appear as substitutes.
* The ''Plush Toy'' enemy in the [[Mystery Doors of the Magical Land Series]] movie in [[Pokéstar Studios]] is similar to a substitute.
* In Pokémon Stadium, {{FB|List of|glitch Pokémon}} will appear as the substitutes. The color will vary, however, due to the player's ID and the glitch Pokémon's name. This is because the game treats the glitch Pokémon's name as a [[nickname]], which cause Pokémon to change colors in the Stadium series.
* In [[Generation VI]], the size of the substitute depends on the size of the Pokémon using it. For example, a substitute made by a {{p|Kyurem}} will be bigger than that of a {{p|Flabébé}}.
* In the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', a {{p|Growlithe}} can be seen playing with a substitute plushie in [[Lavender Town#Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House|Mr Fuji's Pokémon House]].
* During [[Nintendo Direct|Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Direct]] on April 8, 2014, a substitute plushie is seen in place of {{sbw|Masahiro Sakurai}} as he goes to showcase some of the Pokémon available from the [[Poké Ball]] and [[Master Ball]] items.
* In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', a Substitute doll was one of the items offered to {{Ash}} by a market vendor in [[Coumarine City]].

Substitute (Japanese: みがわり Substitute) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

It is:

It was Mr. Mime's signature move in Generation II.

Effect

Main article: Substitute doll → Effect

This move creates a substitute at the cost of 25% of the user's maximum HP (rounded up). The created substitute has 1/4 of the user's maximum HP.

The move fails if the user already has a substitute or if losing the required HP would cause the user to faint. By extension, Substitute will fail if used by Shedinja (who only has 1 HP).

Snatch will steal the effect of Substitute when it is used.

Generation VI onwards

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Substitute, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

Unaffected moves

  This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason:
  • Confirm if Roar/Whirlwind are blocked in Gen I
  • Confirm Supersonic in Gen V
  • Confirm if Mimic is blocked from Gen III onwards
  • Which moves are unaffected in Generation VIII and IX?
    You can discuss this on the talk page.

Since Generation VI, a Pokémon with Infiltrator can ignore a substitute with any move except Transform or Sky Drop.

Different moves are able to ignore Substitute and Shed Tail in each generation. Moves marked with a in the following table can affect a Pokémon regardless of its substitute. (This applies to moves used by one Pokémon against another with a substitute; if a Pokémon with a substitute uses a move that affects itself, it receives the move's effect normally.)

Greninja using Substitute

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

In the Rescue Team, Explorers and Adventure Squad series, Substitute targets the Pokémon in front of them, ally or enemy, and inflicts the Decoy status condition on them. The Pokémon with this status will be preferentially attacked by allies and enemies. The status lasts for 21-50 turns. This move is affected by Snatch.

From Gates to Infinity, Substitute instead causes the Substitute status by cutting the user's HP in half. The user will not be targeted by enemies, but the user cannot use moves or items, and cannot restore its HP naturally. If the user is attacked by a move (such as Earthquake which affects the whole room), Substitute will not protect the user from damage. The status lasts 11 turns.

With some exceptions, Pokémon learnsets match those from the core series games:

Super Smash Bros. series

Substitute is Greninja's down special. The substitute doll it summons resembles those from the core series games, though it can also summon a log. The move functions as a counter, attacking opponents who hit Greninja while it is posing.

There is a trophy of the substitute doll in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Trophy information

If it looks like a Pokémon and it gets attacked like a Pokémon, it's probably a- Oh, no, it could also be a Substitute Doll. This cute plush figure appears out of nowhere when a Pokémon uses the move Substitute. Is that a smile on its face or a grimace of determination? Only the doll knows, and it's not telling.

Pokkén Tournament

Substitute is the move used by Whimsicott when called as a Support Pokémon. It conjures up a set of three substitute dolls that rotate around the Battle Pokémon, blocking incoming projectile attacks.[1] It also restores a little of the Battle Pokémon's HP.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Substitute is Greninja's second move as Froakie. The user dashes while leaving behind a targetable decoy. The user is unstoppable while dashing. After evolving into Frogadier at level 5, this move is replaced by either Double Team or Smokescreen.

Substitute Dolls appear on their own as part of the Practice Area mode.

Description

Trivia

  • Shedinja can learn Substitute despite being incapable of using it, as its HP is too low to create a substitute.
    • However, in the Mystery Dungeon series, it is able to use the move, due to being able to possess more than 1 HP.
  • This move plays its animation even if the battle animations are turned off.
  • In Generation I games, if the player used Substitute, then looked at the stats of a Pokémon in their party and then exited the menu, the opponent's Pokémon sprite would change to a glitchy version of the Pokémon that was just viewed.
  • In Generation VII, Substitute is the only TM that can be learned by all Pokémon that can learn TMs, except Pokémon that can only learn moves via TM that they can also learn by other means.
