Tm90

tm90 Sprite

Summary

TM90 (Substitute) is a Technical Machine in the Pokémon series that teaches the move "Substitute" to a compatible Pokémon. When a Pokémon uses Substitute, it sacrifices part of its own HP (specifically 25% of its maximum HP) to create a decoy, called a Substitute, that takes damage in its place. This decoy absorbs incoming attacks until it is destroyed, allowing the user to avoid effects like status conditions and stat-lowering moves while the Substitute is active.

Effects of Substitute: - The move creates a decoy with HP equal to 25% of the user's max HP. - The decoy takes damage from attacks and status effects in place of the user until its HP is depleted. - Status moves that do not cause damage, such as Thunder Wave or Toxic, will not affect the user if the Substitute is active. - The use of Substitute does not prevent the user from being damaged by weather effects such as Hail or Sandstorm.
