Substitute is a Normal type, Status move. It uses 1/4 of the users total HP and creates a substitute to take hits and status conditions. If used when under a binding moves, the substitute removes the binding effect.

Weather damage and damage from status effects is still taken. Sound-based moves and Pokémon with Infiltrator bypass the substitute. Switching out removes the substitute. If the user doesn't have enough HP to create a substitute or already has one in place, the move will fail.

Baton Pass passes the effect.
