Talk:No Guard (Ability)

Note: This applies for all abilities. I think it would be a good idea if we had an extra section like: Out of Battle or something similar that is reworded. Then we could seperate the text instead of having a large block to read. Tesh 17:43, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

No Guard eliminates the immunity granted by Shadow Force. Diachronos 16:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Does this ability eliminate immunities?

OHKO

Does no Guard allow OHKO attacks to hit the opponent every time? Obviously there's currently no way to have this happen, but if a Machamp with no guard knew sheer cold, could it theoretically always hit the opponent?--Skaisdead 21:51, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Provided the other conditions are met (levels or speed or whatever), then I see no theoretical problem. —darklordtrom 21:59, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it does. (provided that the user's level is equal to or higher than the target's) Remember, No Guard works oppositely, too—Moves used by the opponent will always hit as well.--Dark ICE (User:Cold)^{(page, talk)} 17:58, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

In-Battle Effects post-Diamond/Pearl

This does not happen anymore in Platinum or HeartGold/SoulSilver.

What, exactly, doesn't happen anymore? Does No Guard always break through Protect/Detect, or does it never do so? Starscream 18:42, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Glitch?

I'm not sure if it was intended or not, but in D/P in Battle Tower double battles, No Guard Earthquake will hit semi-invulnerable partners, but not levitating partners. I noticed it and would like someone to experiment with that for confirmation WeavilePwns 02:04, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
