Wonder Guard (Japanese: ふしぎなまもり Mysterious Protection) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. It is the signature Ability of Shedinja.
Effect
In battle
Wonder Guard makes the user immune to direct damage moves that are not super effective.
It does not affect moves that do not do damage, such as Tail Whip or Poison Powder. It does not prevent any indirect damage, such as from a burn or poison, weather, recoil damage, or entry hazards.
Wonder Guard also does not block typeless moves from hitting. This includes Struggle, and, prior to Generation V, Beat Up, Future Sight, and Doom Desire. In Generation IV only, due to a presumed glitch, Fire Fang can hit through Wonder Guard even if it would not be super effective.
Wonder Guard cannot be Skill Swapped or copied by Role Play, but it can be Traced. Wonder Guard can be replaced with Simple Beam, Worry Seed, Entrainment or suppressed with Gastro Acid. Additionally, Entrainment can grant Wonder Guard to a target if used by a Pokémon with this Ability.
Wonder Guard can be bypassed by a Pokémon with Mold Breaker, Teravolt, or Turboblaze.
Outside of battle
Wonder Guard has no effect outside of battle.

Trivia
- Prior to Generation VI, it was popular to hack this Ability onto the Dark/Ghost-type Spiritomb ("Wondertomb") and Sableye ("Wondereye"), as their complete lack of weaknesses made them impervious to all direct damage (barring Fire Fang*, typeless damage moves such as Future Sight* and Struggle, and having their type or Ability changed or negated). As of Generation VI, the two are now weak to the Fairy type.
- This immunity was showcased with the Pokéstar Studios opponent Majin, requiring the player to inflict burn or change Majin's Ability or type to defeat it.
