Fissure (Japanese: じわれ Fissure) is a Ground-type one-hit knockout move introduced in Generation I. It was TM27 in Generation I. In Generation II, it was the signature move of Diglett and Dugtrio.
Contents
Effect
Generation I
Fissure inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. Its accuracy is 30%. Fissure will break a substitute if it hits.
Fissure will not affect a target whose current Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.
Generation II
The accuracy of Fissure now follows the formula below.
Acc = ( ( user_level - target_level ) * 2/256 + 76/256 ) * 100%
This formula means that the accuracy starts at approximately 30% and grows by approximately 0.78% for every level higher than the target that the user is.
Fissure's efficacy is no longer based on the target's Speed; instead, now it cannot affect a target that has a higher level than the user.
Fissure can also now affect Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig.
In the Generation II core series games only, Fissure can be countered by Counter for maximum damage if it misses.
Generations III to VI
The formula for Fissure's accuracy is now:
Acc = ( ( user_level - target_level ) + 30 ) * 100%
Fissure's chance of hitting is now unaffected by accuracy and evasion stats.
Fissure can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra two appeal points if the move Earthquake was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and will give an extra three appeal points if any of the moves Lock-On, Mind Reader and Miracle Eye was used in the prior turn.
Generation VII
Fissure's accuracy is now displayed as 30%; however, its accuracy calculation remains unchanged.

Trivia
- Due to the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake, this move, alongside Earthquake and Magnitude, have not been seen in the anime since AG101 (unaired) (which has never aired anywhere in the world).
- After defeating Giovanni at the Viridian Gym in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, he mentions that he made the TM27 that teaches Fissure in Generation I.
- In Pokémon Yellow, a game highly based on the anime, there is a Youngster on Route 9 with a Sandshrew that knows Fissure, much like A.J.'s Sandshrew in the anime.
