Quick Guard on Legendary Pokémon MoveDex Quick Guard on Eevee's Movedex

Quick Guard (Japanese: ファストガード Fast Guard) is a non-damaging Fighting-type move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Quick Guard protects all Pokémon on the user's side of the field from enemy attacks that have increased priority such as Quick Attack or Aqua Jet, but does not block moves that have been given an increased priority through Prankster that would not usually have one. Quick Guard does not protect against Feint.

Using Quick Guard, Wide Guard, Detect, Protect, or Endure consecutively decreases the chance of success to 50%. This is an increased priority move, and therefore will always go before attacks during the turn.

Despite Feint being an increased priority move, it lifts the effect of Quick Guard when used on an opponent's team.

Description

Games Description BWB2W2 The user protects itself and its allies from priority moves. If used in succession, its chance of failing rises.
