The user takes one-fourth of its maximum HP to create a substitute; this move fails if the user does not have enough HP for this.

The user is still affected by Tickle, Hail, Sandstorm and Attract from behind its Substitute. If a Substitute breaks from a hit during a multistrike move such as Fury Attack, the user takes damage from the remaining strikes. |
