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 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 cannot prevent the effects of Perish Song.
Generation IV
Protect has a 50% chance of success on the current turn if Protect, Detect, or Endure was used successfully on the previous turn. Protect fails if the user goes last in the turn.
The following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:
|
Additionally, Feint lifts Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.
Lock-On, Mind Reader, and No Guard give moves a (100 - move accuracy)% chance to hit through Protect. Thunder during rain and Blizzard during hail have a 30% chance to hit. One-hit knockout moves always fail when Protect is successful, even if Lock-On, Mind Reader, or No Guard is in use.
