Detect (Japanese: みきり All-Seeing) is a non-damaging Fighting-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generation II - III

Protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage. This does not include damage afflicted by weather conditions it is susceptible to, or damage from status ailment that it obtained on a previous turn. Using Detect, Protect, or Endure consecutively decreases the chance of success by 50% each use, whether it is successful or not. Detect cannot prevent the effects of Perish Song.

Generation IV

Detect now has a 50% chance of success on the current turn if Detect, Protect, or Endure was used successfully on the previous turn. Detect fails if the user goes last in the turn. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation II - III.

The following moves cannot be stopped by Detect:

Additionally, Feint lifts Detect's protection for the rest of the turn.

Lock-On, Mind Reader, and No Guard give moves a (100 - move accuracy)% chance to hit through Detect. Thunder during rain and Blizzard during hail have a 30% chance to hit. One-hit knockout moves always fail when Detect is successful, even if Lock-On, Mind Reader, or No Guard is in use.
