Protect (Japanese: まもる Protect) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II.
Effect
Generation II
Protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage. This does not include damage afflicted by weather conditions it is susceptible to, or damage from a status ailment that it obtained on a previous turn. Using Protect, Detect, or Endure consecutively decreases the chance of success by 50% each use, whether it is successful or not. Protect has an extra 1/256 chance of failing at any consecutive use, due to the accuracy check in the first two generations.[1] Protect cannot prevent the effects of Perish Song.
Generation III - IV
Protect now has a 50% decaying rate of success on the current turn if Protect, Detect, Endure, was used successfully on the previous turn. The minimum success rate is limited to 12.5%, which is four consecutive turns.[2] Protect fails if the user goes last in the turn.
In Diamond and Pearl, 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 has a chance to hit through Protect equal to (100 - move accuracy)%
. OHKO moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect.
Generation V
Protect no longer has a minimum success rate, and still has 50% decay, which now includes Quick Guard and Wide Guard as well.[3]
The following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:
Additionally, Feint lifts Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
The user is protected from all attacks for a set amount of turns, which ends on the user's turn. However, items such as toss items can still hit.

Trivia
- In Generation II, after the "[Pokémon's name] protected itself!" message appears, another message saying that the opponent's Pokémon's move missed appears. The second message was removed in Generation III, likely to avoid redundancy.
