Effect
In battle

This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Which beneficial effects does it block? You can discuss this on the talk page.
|
Pokémon with Shield Dust are unaffected by the additional effects of other Pokémon's damaging moves, including additional effects provided by Poison Touch, Stench, or King's Rock.
For example, a Pokémon with Shield Dust cannot be frozen by Blizzard or made to flinch by Fake Out.
Shield Dust has no effect on status moves, such as Thunder Wave or Leech Seed, or on moves that force the target to switch out, such as Dragon Tail.
Certain "beneficial" effects may be unaffected by Shield Dust; for example, a Pokemon hit by Sparkling Aria will not be cured of its burn. However, if, in a Double Battle or Battle Royal, the move has multiple targets when it is executed, it will cure Pokémon with the Ability regardless.
Outside of battle
Shield Dust has no effect outside of battle.

Trivia
- Shield Dust effectively prevents the Pokémon from being frozen in battle by any Pokémon (except those with Mold Breaker or one of its variants), as the Freeze status ailment is always caused as a secondary effect of an opponent's move, and the status cannot be passed to another Pokémon via Baton Pass or Synchronize.
- Similarly, Shield Dust prevents the Pokémon from flinching as it is always caused as a secondary effect of an opponent's move.
