No Guard (Ability)

No Guard is in need of spading. See its section on the spading page for more information, and how you can help. Does No Guard affect all the Pokemon in a double battle? Or just between the one Pokemon and the one he/she is fighting at the moment?

No Guard (Japanese: ノーガード No Guard) is an ability introduced in Generation IV. Three Pokémon have this ability, all in the same evolutionary line.

Effect

In battle

All moves used by or against a Pokémon with this ability cannot miss. It also allows Pokémon to be hit during the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as Fly or Dig.

A Pokémon with No Guard can successfully hit an opponent's Pokémon that has used Protect or Detect, but only if that Pokémon uses a move with less than 100% accuracy. The lower the initial accuracy of the move is, the higher the chance of the move breaking through Protect/Detect. Thus, when used against Protect or Detect, moves like Swift and Aerial Ace will always be blocked, and despite having the lowest accuracy, so will all OHKO moves, most likely to keep double battle teams from popping up and being nearly impossible to defeat.

Outside of battle

Outside of battle, if the Pokémon with No Guard is leading the party, then No Guard increases the wild Pokémon encounter rate. See also Quick Feet and White Smoke.
