Effect

Raises the holder's Special Defense by 50%, but also prevents the holder from selecting any status moves except Me First.

The Assault Vest only prevents the Pokémon from choosing status moves, not from using them; a Pokémon holding an Assault Vest can still be made to use status moves via Instruct or Dancer. If a Pokémon has selected a status move to use but obtains an Assault Vest before executing the move, such as by Trick, the move can still be executed successfully for that turn.

If the holder can only select status moves (due to Encore, Torment, knowing no non-status moves that have PP, etc.), it is forced to use Struggle. Dynamax does not negate the effects of this item, so it prevents the use of Max Guard.
