Inconsistent success rate

Using Spiky Shield, Protect, Detect, Endure, or King's Shield consecutively decreases the chance of success to 30%. This is an increased priority move, and therefore will always go before attacks during the turn.

This quote appears on each of these moves' articles, but Spiky Shield is the only one that says 30% while all others say 50%. Is this incorrect or an actual discrepancy? --TheVeryBest 23:08, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Image

I don't think the first image for this move is nessesary, as it is just a Chesnaught partway through one of Chesnaught's attack animations, not part of the move animation itself. PartHunter (talk) 05:47, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Damage-dealing vs. non-damaging?

Currently this move is listed as a "damaging-dealing" move. While technically not wrong, that is not the primary effect of the attack, like other status moves. Other status moves that place a 'damage-dealing' effect like Nightmare are listed as non-damaging, and Metronome, which can call a damaging attack, is also listed as non-damaging. Should damage-dealing be replaced here?
