'''Spiky Shield''' (Japanese: '''ニードルガード''' ''Needle Guard'') is a non-damaging {{type|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. In [[Pokémon X and Y]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Chesnaught}}.
'''Spiky Shield''' (Japanese: '''ニードルガード''' ''Needle Guard'') is a non-damaging {{type|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
Spiky Shield protects the user from all effects of moves that target the user during the turn it is used, including damage. (This does not include damage afflicted by weather conditions it is susceptible to, or damage from a status ailment that it obtained on a previous turn.) Additionally, if Spiky Shield blocks an attack that would make [[contact]] with the user, the attacker suffers damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP. However, if an attack is blocked by Spiky Shield, the effects of the user's [[Rocky Helmet]], {{a|Rough Skin}}, and {{a|Iron Barbs}} will not activate. If {{m|Sucker Punch}} is used on a Pokémon that has used Spiky Shield, the move fails and the Pokémon does not take damage.
{{main|Protection}}
Spiky Shield protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage. (This does not include damage at the end of a turn such as from [[weather]] or a [[status condition]].) If Spiky Shield blocks an attack that would make [[contact]] with the user, the attacker suffers damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum {{stat|HP}}. If a contact [[multi-strike move]] is blocked by Spiky Shield, the resulting damage will only apply once. Moves that are blocked do not activate other effects that require making contact, like [[Rocky Helmet]] or {{a|Rough Skin}}.


Using {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, Spiky Shield, {{m|King's Shield}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, or {{m|Quick Guard}} consecutively divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, and King's Shield by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)<sup>6</sup> (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.<ref>https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521</ref>
If the user [[priority|goes last]] in the turn, the move will fail. The chance that Spiky Shield will succeed also drops each time the user successfully and consecutively uses {{m|Endure}}, any [[protection]] move that [[Protection#Moves that protect only the user|only affects the user]], {{m|Quick Guard}}, or {{m|Wide Guard}}. Each time, the chance of success is divided by 3.


It is an increased [[priority]] move that will always go before attacks during the turn.
Some moves will {{cat|moves that do damage through protection|do damage through Spiky Shield}}. Most damaging [[Z-Move]]s and [[Max Move]]s will only do 25% of their original damage, except {{m|G-Max One Blow}} and {{m|G-Max Rapid Flow}} which do full damage. {{cat|Moves that break protection}}, like {{m|Feint}}, will do their full damage and remove the effects of Spiky Shield. The Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} allows [[contact]] moves to bypass Spiky Shield.


{{m|Feint}}, {{m|Phantom Force}}, {{m|Shadow Force}}, {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}, and {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} lift Spiky Shield's protection for the rest of the turn. If a damaging [[Z-Move]] targets a Pokémon that used Spiky Shield, the Z-Move will bypass Spiky Shield but only do 25% of the original damage (the effects of Spiky Shield are not lifted).
[[Status move]]s that are unaffected by Spiky Shield are [[Protection#Unprotectable moves|listed here]]. Generally, {{cat|moves that target the user}}, {{cat|moves that target the user and all allies}}, {{cat|moves that target all Pokémon}} (except {{m|Shadow Shed}} and {{m|Shadow Half}}), and [[entry hazard]] moves cannot be blocked by Spiky Shield.


In addition to damaging [[Z-Move]]s, Spiky Shield is unable to defend against any of the following moves:

Spiky Shield (Japanese: ニードルガード Needle Guard) is a non-damaging Grass-type move introduced in Generation VI.

Effect

Main article: Protection

Spiky Shield protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage. (This does not include damage at the end of a turn such as from weather or a status condition.) If Spiky Shield blocks an attack that would make contact with the user, the attacker suffers damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP. If a contact multi-strike move is blocked by Spiky Shield, the resulting damage will only apply once. Moves that are blocked do not activate other effects that require making contact, like Rocky Helmet or Rough Skin.

If the user goes last in the turn, the move will fail. The chance that Spiky Shield will succeed also drops each time the user successfully and consecutively uses Endure, any protection move that only affects the user, Quick Guard, or Wide Guard. Each time, the chance of success is divided by 3.

Some moves will do damage through Spiky Shield. Most damaging Z-Moves and Max Moves will only do 25% of their original damage, except G-Max One Blow and G-Max Rapid Flow which do full damage. Moves that break protection, like Feint, will do their full damage and remove the effects of Spiky Shield. The Ability Unseen Fist allows contact moves to bypass Spiky Shield.

Status moves that are unaffected by Spiky Shield are listed here. Generally, moves that target the user, moves that target the user and all allies, moves that target all Pokémon (except Shadow Shed and Shadow Half), and entry hazard moves cannot be blocked by Spiky Shield.

Spiky Shield is an increased-priority move that will go before most attacks in a turn.

If powered up by a Grassium Z into Z-Spiky Shield, the user's Defense stat rises by one stage.
