Counter Shield (Japanese: カウンターシールド Counter Shield) is a tactic developed by Ash Ketchum in the Diamond & Pearl series. Ash developed this technique while trying to find a way to prevent Fantina's Pokémon from making his Pokémon sleep with Hypnosis. It was eventually used for both offensive and defensive purposes. It was apparently inspired by Dawn's Ambipom in its performance in Battling the Generation Gap!.
In Camping It Up!, Dawn used it in a battle against Conway in the Pokémon Summer Academy.
In Shield with a Twist!, Ash used it in his gym battle with Fantina. Amazed with the method, Fantina named it the Counter Shield. It eventually helped Ash with his battle, earning him the Relic Badge.
In Evolving Strategies!, it was used again by Ash's Pikachu, Buizel, and Monferno against Paul's Pokémon.
Methods
Pikachu
Pikachu uses its Thunderbolt to form an electric barrier.
Monferno
Monferno uses Flamethrower while using Flame Wheel to create flame whips that prevent foes from getting closer.
Buizel
Buizel spins on its back while using Aqua Jet to create a water tornado or Water Gun to create water whips.
Drifblim
Fantina's Drifblim uses Will-O-Wisp to surround its body in fire wisps. Then it uses Psychic to move the fire in two circles. Drifblim can either shoot the flames as an attack or keep the fire around it as a defense tactic.
Grimer
Dawn's friendly Grimer uses Poison Gas by spinning to surround its body with smoke in order to avoid the attacks.
Trivia
- Pikachu and Buizel's Counter Shields are similar to the way Dawn's Ambipom used Swift for her appeal for the Pokémon Contest in Team Shocker!.
