Max Guard (Japanese: ダイウォール Dai Wall) is a non-damaging Normal-type Max Move introduced in Generation VIII.

Effect

Max Guard protects the user from moves for the rest of the turn. Unlike other protection moves, it fully protects the user from Max Moves.

Successfully consecutively using any single-target protection moves, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, or Endure decreases the chance of success of single-target protection moves and Endure.

Unlike most protection moves, Max Guard protects the user from Block, Flower Shield, Gear Up, Magnetic Flux, Phantom Force, Psych Up, Teatime, and Transform.

Max Guard does not protect the user against Feint, but its effects remain even after being hit by Feint. It does not protect the user from Mean Look, Role Play, Perish Song, or Decorate.

Description

Games Description
SwSh This move enables the user to protect itself from all attacks. Its chance of failing rises if it is used in succession.


Learnset

Any Dynamax Pokémon can use Max Guard if it knows a status move.
