Crafty Shield (Japanese: トリックガード Trick Guard) is a non-damaging Fairy-type move introduced in Generation VI. Prior to Generation VII, it was one of the signature moves of Klefki.

Effect

Crafty Shield protects all Pokémon on the user's side of the field from status moves.

Crafty Shield can be used consecutively without failing.

Moves that break protection, like Feint, will remove the effects of Crafty Shield.
