'''Move: Damage Guard Next''' (Japanese: '''技後次ダメージ防御''' ''Damage Guard Next After Move'') is a family of {{mas|skill}}s in {{g|Masters EX}}.

==Effect==
When the [[sync pair]] successfully uses a move, it has a chance of applying the Damage Guard Next effect to the user. The skill can range from Move: Damage Guard Next 1 to Move: Damage Guard Next 9, with higher numbered skills resulting in a greater chance of activation. Move: Damage Guard Next 9 will always apply the Damage Guard Next effect. Currently, only Move: Damage Guard Next 9 is available on scoutable sync pairs. The skill applies to both the Trainer's and the Pokémon's moves, including [[File:Buddy Move Icon Masters.png|20px|link=]] [[buddy move]]s, but not [[sync move]]s or [[File:Dynamax icon.png|20px|link=]] [[Max Move|max move]]s.
