Best Answer

It takes down the health of the user, then makes a "substitute," or shield with the amount of health that the user lost. You can still use other attacks afterward, even though your pokemon disappears. The substitute disappears after it takes a particular amount of damage. This move is effective as a kind of protection attack.

How do you use substitute on Pokemon LeafGreen?

Batte strategies: First of all if you want more battle strategies message me pokemongenius at anytime. Okay first of all go to fuschia city and find a guy near a kangaskhan talk to him and he will teach substitute to one of your Pokemon. Once you have a Pokemon with substitute then try one of the following strategies: After using substitute in battle you lose some HP use a move to recover your HP or an item then use a move like toxic. Then higher your evasiveness by using minimize or double team then keep hammering the foe with your attacks. Another thing you can try but it only works in this situation so pay attention, if you have a chansey or blissey and your opponent is a machamp use protect or substitute and if the machamp uses submission your in luck it will not affect you and the recoil damage will make the machamp faint instantly!
