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.
