Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
X Defense (along with X Attack and X Speed) appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U as equipment that any of the five playable Pokémon can use. X Defense raises the holder's Defense while lowering Speed. While it will occasionally come with a special effect, the ones without effects come in three rarities: normal, Threefold, and Sixfold.
Pokémon Rumble World
After rescuing a distressed Mii in an area, they will occasionally use X Defenses (along with X Attacks, X Speeds, or Potions). What they give out is chosen randomly upon being rescued. The X Defense boosts the Defense stat for some time.
Pokémon Trading Card Game series
The Defender card is available in Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!.

- Main article: Defender (Base Set 80)
The English language release of the X Defense uses the direct translation of its Japanese name Defender. Defender's first apparence was in the Trainer Deck A, before the Base Set's official release. This print has a red border and "Trainer Deck A" printed on the back.
This card was included in the Base Set with artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi, first released in the Japanese Expansion Pack. It was reprinted in the Base Set 2 expansion. It was reprinted again in the Japanese Hanada, Kuchiba, Tamamushi, and Yamabuki City Gym theme decks, and the Totodile Half Deck of the Japanese Intro Pack Neo.
This card was later reprinted in the Undaunted expansion with new artwork by Ryo Ueda, first released in the Japanese Reviving Legends expansion.
Alongside Black and White, this card received an erratum to change "by an opponent's attack" to "by attacks".
Defender reduces the damage done to the Pokémon Defender is attached to by attacks by 20 during the opponent's next turn.
