Is there anyway to hit an opponent behind a substitute?

Im suprised no one has asked this.

Yesin Generation VI Substitute no longer blockssound-based moves.Therefore if the target’s Pokémon is behind a substitute you can stillhit it and deal damageif you use one of following moves:

BoomburstBug BuzzChatterDisarming VoiceEchoed VoiceHyper VoiceRelic SongRoundSnore (if the target behind the Substitute is asleep)Uproar

These moves will also hit the target through a Substitute but do not deal damage:

As of Generation VI a Pokémon that hasInfiltratoras it’s Ability can hit a Pokémon with a Substitute, as Infiltrator allows you to bypass Substitute.

Whirlwind also bypasses a Substitute like Roar causing the target to be switched out.

Multi-Strike Movesmay be able to break a Substitute and continue to hit the target dealing damage. This though depends on the Multi-Strike Move being used, how many times it hits, the type of the Pokémon behind the Substitute, the type of the Multi-Strike Move and the type of the Pokémon attacking the Substitute.

Hope I helped :)

No there are no conventional ways to hit a Pokemon behind substituteSome undamaging moves like Whirlwind, Foresight, Taunt, Haze etc. will bypass Substitute and Multi-attack moves like Bullet Seed and Icicle Spear can also break it and continue to hitApart from that it is impossible to hit past a Substitute

If you have a Pokemon with the ability infiltrator they can strike an opponent even with a substitute up :-) Zubat can get some love after all!!!
