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 | 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). If the user [[priority|goes last]] this turn, the move will fail. | |||
Each time any of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} is successfully used without other moves used in between, the success rate will halve. In this generation, the success rate is implemented as a single byte over 256 which starts at the maximum of 255 and is floor-divided by 2<!-- more accessible term? int-divided? truncated? right-shifted by 1? --> each time, effectively causing an extra 1/256 chance of failing on any use. This causes the success rate to drop to 0 on a ninth consecutive successful use.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20110628181632/http://upokecenter.com/games/gs/guides/explanations.php#pageid5909786F4</ref> | |||

Like in Generation II, the success rates of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} halve each time any of the three are used successfully and consecutively. In this generation, the halving was intended to cap at a 12.5% success rate on the fourth consecutive successful use, but a bug{{fact}} causes the cap to not work, causing the game to read garbage values and causing Protect's success rate on the fifth and future turns to follow an erratic sequence.<ref>[http://no2.pic.bz/document/waza/each/6F.html ポケットモンスター情報センター 2号館] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://nicoviewer.net/sm19862416 【ポケモン】TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦してみた【ルビー】] (Japanese)</ref> | |||
{| style="background: #{{normal color light}}; {{roundy|1em}}; border: 3px solid #{{normal color}} | The following success rates are accurate to Ruby and Sapphire; from the 53rd turn onward, FireRed and LeafGreen have a different sequence of values, as does Emerald<!-- meaning all three are different from each other, but members of a pair are the same --><ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6603.0</ref>. It is currently undocumented whether these numbers represent success rates out of 65535 or out of 65536. | ||
<!-- | |||
I double checked; the two sources in Japanese (the TAS and the HTML) contradict each other. Both are unlikely for different reasons: one means that the first Protect apparently has a chance to fail, and the other means that the still-primitive Gen III processor is doing long division by 65,535 (much slower) rather than a simple bit shift (very fast). My gut instinct is that it's by 65536, and that the game has a special condition that skips the check entirely on the first Protect, but not putting speculation here. | |||

Protect no longer | Protect's success rate halving now no longer caps at 12.5%. {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}} now also count toward this halving.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3715158&postcount=772 Smogon forums]</ref> | ||
<!-- IN NEED OF MORE RESEARCH | |||
The bit shifting in the Smogon link implies that should Protect work 33 times in a row (success rate 1 in 4 billion on the last one), overflow will cause the success rate to start doubling again, until the 65th consecutive use and all future uses are guaranteed to succeed. Is this correct? (Protect only has 16 max PP, but one can alternate between four different protection moves.) | |||
UPokeCenter is normally pretty accurate about these kinds of things, but the site owner has made math mistakes before, albeit very rarely. That site says that after the eighth Protect (1/128), ninth and future Protects are automatically forced down to a 1 in 4 billion success rate, which would actually match Gen II very closely. It doesn't match Smogon though and I'm inclined to trust its bit shifting derivation more. But neither site includes the raw assembly like Gens I, II, and VI do. | |||

Protect (Japanese: まもる Protect) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It has been TM17 since Generation II.
Effect
Generation II
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). If the user goes last this turn, the move will fail.
Each time any of Protect, Detect, or Endure is successfully used without other moves used in between, the success rate will halve. In this generation, the success rate is implemented as a single byte over 256 which starts at the maximum of 255 and is floor-divided by 2 each time, effectively causing an extra 1/256 chance of failing on any use. This causes the success rate to drop to 0 on a ninth consecutive successful use.[1]
The following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:
|
Generation III
Like in Generation II, the success rates of Protect, Detect, and Endure halve each time any of the three are used successfully and consecutively. In this generation, the halving was intended to cap at a 12.5% success rate on the fourth consecutive successful use, but a bug[citation needed] causes the cap to not work, causing the game to read garbage values and causing Protect's success rate on the fifth and future turns to follow an erratic sequence.[2][3]
The following success rates are accurate to Ruby and Sapphire; from the 53rd turn onward, FireRed and LeafGreen have a different sequence of values, as does Emerald[4]. It is currently undocumented whether these numbers represent success rates out of 65535 or out of 65536.

The following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:
|
Generation IV
Protect now properly caps at a minimum success rate of 12.5% on the fourth and future consecutive turns.
In Diamond and Pearl only, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move (Lock-On/Mind Reader), the weather (Thunder in Rain, or Blizzard in Hail), a Micle Berry, or an Ability (No Guard), it has a chance to hit through Protect equal to (100 - move accuracy)%
. OHKO moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect. This behavior was reverted in Platinum.
The following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:
Additionally, Feint and Shadow Force lift Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.
Generation V
Protect's success rate halving now no longer caps at 12.5%. Quick Guard and Wide Guard now also count toward this halving.[5]
The following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:
|
Additionally, Feint and Shadow Force lift Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.
Generation VI
Successfully using Protect, Detect, Endure, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, Spiky Shield, or King's Shield consecutively now divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, and King's Shield by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.[6]
The following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:
|
Additionally, Feint, Shadow Force, and Phantom Force lift Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.
