The user gains the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Protect}} status condition, causing it to be protected from most attacks. The user can still be damaged by items or explosions. The status lasts for 3-6 turns prior to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], and only 1 turn from Gates to Infinity onwards. The move may fail if a move such as {{m|Detect}} or {{m|Endure}} was last used by the user. | |||

Protect (Japanese: まもる Protect) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.
It is:
- TM17 from Generation II to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
- TM07 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, and in Generation IX as TM007.
- TM25 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Effect
- Main article: Protection
Protect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage. This does not include damage at the end of a turn such as from weather or a status condition.
Protect is an increased priority move that will go before most attacks in a turn. If the user goes last in the turn, the move will fail. The chance that Protect will succeed also drops each time the user successfully and consecutively uses Endure, any protection move that only affects the user, Quick Guard, or Wide Guard.

Success rate | Times ½ after each use | ✔ | ✔ | ||||||

Times 1/3 after each use | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | |||||

Some moves will do damage through Protect. Most damaging Z-Moves and Max Moves will only do 25% of their original damage, except G-Max One Blow and G-Max Rapid Flow which do full damage. Moves that break protection, like Feint, will do their full damage and remove the effects of Protect. The Ability Unseen Fist allows contact moves to bypass Protect.
Status moves that are unaffected by Protect are listed here. Generally, moves that target the user, moves that target the user and all allies, moves that target all Pokémon (except Shadow Shed and Shadow Half), and entry hazard moves cannot be blocked by Protect.
Generation II
In this generation only, Protect will fail if the user is behind a substitute.
Generation III
In this generation only, the success rate is meant to have a lower bound of 1/8, but a bug causes it to become erratic afterwards instead.
Protect can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if Harden was used in the previous turn.
Generation IV
In Diamond and Pearl only, due to a bug, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move (Lock-On/Mind Reader), the weather (Thunder in rain or Blizzard in hail), or an Ability (No Guard), it ignores protection with inverted accuracy. OHKO moves are unaffected and will not hit through protection. This bug was fixed in Platinum.
Generation V onwards
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

Trivia
- In Generation II, after the "[Pokémon]'s PROTECTING itself!" message appears, there is another message saying that the opponent's move missed. This is caused by Protect's effect internally leading moves with an accuracy check to miss, and was changed in Generation III to omit the second message.
- Protect is the most common move among the movesets of Video Game World Championships team's winners.
- Despite having distinct effects in the games, Reflect, Light Screen, Barrier, Protect and Safeguard are often depicted in the anime seemingly sharing the same effect that Protect has in the games (protecting the user from most the effect of moves).
- Although Protect is not present as an move in Pokémon GO, it appears to have inspired the Protect Shield used in Trainer Battles. The Protect Shield even has a hexagon tiling pattern, similar to Protect's animation in Generation VII, during which Trainer Battles were introduced.
