Can Charizard get hit by Earthquake if it uses Dig?

Question

If a Charizard uses Dig and the opponent uses Earthquake, would Charizard get hit because it's underground and it loses its Flying type?

Answer 1

I went and tested this just in case, here is a Pokemon showdown(!) replay of the test battle.

As you can see, it doesn't affect it.

Answer 3

No, it can't, unless the move 'smack down' has been used, which means flying types can be affected by ground types.

There are a bunch of other exceptions, like gravity, iron ball, ingrain (with baton pass), and thousand arrows.
