Cotton Guard (Japanese: コットンガード Cotton Guard) is a non-damaging Grass-type move introduced in Generation V.
Effect
Cotton Guard raises the user's Defense stat by three stages.
Cotton Guard can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Baton Pass and Stored Power to give the user an extra three appeal points if they are used in the next turn.
If powered up by a Grassium Z into Z-Cotton Guard, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
