Protect is a defensive Normal-type move. It is TM17, and can be obtained from a sidequest in Rustbolt City.

Effect[]

Protect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage.

This does not include damage inflicted by weather it is susceptible to, or damage from a status condition that it obtained on a previous turn (as these are not moves that targeted the user this turn).

Successfully using Protect, Detect, Endure, Wide Guard, Quick Guard or Spiky Shield consecutively divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure and Spiky Shield by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.

Descirption[]

Description
It enables the user to evade all attacks. Its chance of failing rises if it is used in succession.
