Dig? How does it work?; Discussing the use, limits and usefulness of Dig.

So with the move Dig, the Pokemon goes underground and then re-emerges the next turn to deal damage (Set up).

What happens if the target (the enemy) moves from the location it was at the start of the attack: switched for another Pokemon, ran away or fainted. How does the move resolve then? Does it still go off or is it canceled and the round wasted?

I would imagine that, as long as the Pokémon can still tunnel to the new location and it's not too far of a trip, the attack still resolves normally. Of course, each situation would have to be played by ear according to circumstances.

Turn 1: User declares Dig, goes underground.
Turn 2: User can shift to any location within their Burrow or Overland movement range (other than areas the GM decides can't be burrowed through, even with Dig), and hits anything within a Burst 1 from the surface at that point.

You don't have to declare a target when going underground (or really, at all, for that matter), nor does it matter if any potential targets move while you're underground.

You both bring up two good points, but my confusion comes from the fact that unless the Pokemon possess Tremor-sense there's no way for them to sense or know where the Pokemon has shifted to (yes I know Pokemon has science so soft you could use it like butter, but still.)
