I'm curious; is there any difference between this move and Protect? They seem to both have the exact same effect, only Protect has double the PP. I can't see any reason why you wouldn't simply use Protect instead of this move. -- Jioruji Derako.> 02:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- If your Pokémon has both moves, you can alternate between Protect and Detect, essentially giving you 15 turns of invincibility (and that's before taking PP-raising items into account). Diachronos 16:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

- Actually, his statement is correct, so long as you are playing a second or third gen game. PBR is fourth generation. Tybalt941 14:40, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, you'd only get 11 turns of certain invincibility, as you could only alternate as many times as Detect is available - that is, if D is Detect and P is Protect, you could go PDPDPDPDPDP... at that point, you'd run out of Detects. With full PP-raising of Detect, you'd be able to get 17 turns of it. Aielyn 14:22, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Priority of the move
I was wondering, is Detect really a +3 priority move? I used both Detect and Protect in a double battle. Hitmontop used Dected before Scizor used Protect, and as I'm positive Protect is +4, doesn't this mean Detect is +4 as well? This happened in a gen 5 game, so perhaps in previous generations the priority was different and it was changed later on? Mirkosp 17:02, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
