Wonder Guard (Japanese: ふしぎなまもり Mysterious Protection) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. It is the signature Ability of Shedinja.
Effect
In battle
Generation III
Wonder Guard makes the Pokémon with this Ability immune to damaging moves that are not super effective.
For the purposes of Wonder Guard, any typeless damage is considered super-effective. This means Wonder Guard doesn't prevent confusion damage, damage from burn, weather, recoil, entry hazards and Struggle. Prior to Generation V, Wonder Guard does not affect Beat Up, Future Sight, or Doom Desire.
Wonder Guard does not affect status moves, such as Tail Whip or Poison Powder.
Wonder Guard prevents damage from moves that deal direct damage, as long as they are not a type that is super effective against the Pokémon with this Ability. For example, Shedinja with Wonder Guard is immune to Counter and Psywave, but not Night Shade.
Role Play fails if the target has the Ability Wonder Guard. Skill Swap fails if either Pokémon has Wonder Guard.
Generation IV
Due to a a glitch, Fire Fang is able to hit through Wonder Guard, even if the target does not have a weakness to Fire-type moves.

When an attack that is not super effective hits Shedinja, it simply bounces off its body. If a move that is super effective hits Shedinja, it is automatically knocked out.
