From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Earthquake (Japanese: じしん Earthquake) is a damage-dealing Ground-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM26 from Generation I to Generation VII, and TM41 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. It is TR10 in Generation VIII.

Effect

Generation I

Earthquake inflicts damage and has no secondary effects.

Generations II to IV

Earthquake can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig, and if it does, it will have its power doubled for that Pokémon.

Earthquake will hit all adjacent Pokémon, including allies.

Earthquake can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Eruption and Fissure to have their base appeal points doubled if used in the next turn.

Generation V onwards

If Earthquake hits a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig, instead of doubling power, damage is technically doubled instead now, resulting in virtually the same effect.

If Grassy Terrain is in effect, Earthquake deals only half the usual damage.
