Evaluating the Tactical Application of Dig as a Ground-Type Physical Strike

Dig functions as a distinct physical maneuver that prioritizes defensive positioning through an underground state. By requiring a full turn to bypass incoming attacks before executing damage, this move shifts the combat tempo. Strategic evaluation hinges on how the forced delay interacts with specific battle conditions, target vulnerability, and the overall physical pressure applied against opposing teams throughout a match.
