'''Protect''' (Japanese: '''まもる''' ''Protect'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].
 
It is:
* [[TM17]] from Generation II to [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* [[TM07]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* [[TM25]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM007]] in [[Generation IX]].

{{main|Protection}}
Protect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage.
Protect 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]].


This does not include damage inflicted by [[weather]] it is susceptible to, or damage from a [[status condition]] that it obtained on a previous turn (as these are not moves that targeted the user this turn). If the user [[priority|goes last]] this turn, the move will fail.
Protect is an increased [[priority]] move that will go before most attacks in a turn. If the user goes last in the turn, the move will fail. The chance that Protect 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}}.

Protect will fail if the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.
Some moves will {{cat|moves that do damage through protection|do damage through Protect}}. 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 Protect. The Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} allows [[contact]] moves to bypass Protect.


Each time any of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} is successfully used without other moves used in between, the success rate will halve. In this generation, the success rate is implemented as a single byte over 255 which starts at the maximum of 255 and is floor-divided by 2<!-- more accessible term? int-divided? truncated? right-shifted by 1? --> each time. This causes the success rate to drop to 0 on its ninth consecutive successful use.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/51bad5a/battle/effects/protect.asm#L54-L61</ref>
[[Status move]]s that are unaffected by Protect 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 Protect.

===Generation III===
===Generation III===
Protect can now be used when the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.
In this generation only, the success rate is meant to have a lower bound of 1/8, but [[Protection#Generation III-IV|a bug]] causes it to become erratic afterwards instead.
 
Like in Generation II, the success rates of Protect, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} halve each time any of the three are used successfully and consecutively. In this generation, the halving was intended to cap at a 12.5% success rate on the fourth consecutive successful use, but a bug{{fact}} causes the cap to not work, causing the game to read garbage values and causing Protect's success rate on the fifth and future turns to follow an erratic sequence.<ref>[http://no2.pic.bz/document/waza/each/6F.html ポケットモンスター情報センター 2号館] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://nicoviewer.net/sm19862416 【ポケモン】TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦してみた【ルビー】] (Japanese)</ref>


The following success rates are accurate to Ruby and Sapphire; from the 53rd turn onward, FireRed and LeafGreen have a different sequence of values, as does Emerald<!-- meaning all three are different from each other, but members of a pair are the same --><ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6603.0</ref>. These numbers represent success rates out of 65536, which means that the move has a 1/65536 chance of missing on the first use.<ref>[http://www.nicozon.net/watch/sm19879961 TASさんがまもるの限界に挑戦(裏)] (Japanese)</ref>
Protect can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if {{m|Harden}} was used in the previous turn.

Protect can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if {{m|Harden}} was used in the prior turn.


===Generation IV===
===Generation IV===
Protect now properly caps at a minimum success rate of 12.5% on the fourth and future consecutive turns.
In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, due to [[List of glitches (Generation IV)#Protection bypass glitch|a bug]], if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[rain]] or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|hail}}), or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it ignores protection with inverted accuracy. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected and will not hit through protection. This bug was fixed in Platinum.
 
In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[Rain]], or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|Hail}}), a [[Micle Berry]], or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it has a chance to hit through Protect equal to <code>(100 - move {{stat|accuracy}})%</code>. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect. This behavior was reverted in Platinum.
 
===Generation V===
Protect's success rate no longer has a lower bound of 12.5%. {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}} now also count toward this halving.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3715158&postcount=772 Smogon forums]</ref>
<!-- IN NEED OF MORE RESEARCH
 
The bit shifting in the Smogon link implies that should Protect work 33 times in a row (success rate 1 in 4 billion on the last one), overflow will cause the success rate to start doubling again, until the 65th consecutive use and all future uses are guaranteed to succeed. Is this correct? (Protect only has 16 max PP, but one can alternate between four different protection moves.)
 
UPokeCenter is normally pretty accurate about these kinds of things, but the site owner has made math mistakes before, albeit very rarely. That site says that after the eighth Protect (1/128), ninth and future Protects are automatically forced down to a 1 in 4 billion success rate, which would actually match Gen II very closely. It doesn't match Smogon though and I'm inclined to trust its bit shifting derivation more. But neither site includes the raw assembly like Gens I, II, and VI do.
-->
 
===Generation VI onwards===
Successfully using Protect, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, or {{m|Baneful Bunker}} consecutively now divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, and Baneful Bunker by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.<ref>https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521</ref>
 
If a damaging [[Z-Move]] targets a Pokémon that used Protect, the Z-Move will bypass Protect but only do 25% of the original damage. The effects of Protect are not lifted.


===Generation V onwards===
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

The user is protected from all attacks for a set amount of turns, which ends on the user's turn. However, items such as [[toss items]] can still hit.
The user gains the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Protect}} status condition, causing it to be protected from most attacks. The user can still be damaged by items or explosions. The status lasts for 3-6 turns prior to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], and only 1 turn from Gates to Infinity onwards.
 
The chance of the move failing rises if the user's most recently used move was Protect or a move that evades enemies' attacks (such as {{m|Detect}} or {{m|Endure}}).

* In [[Generation II]], after the "[Pokémon's name] protected itself!" message appears, there is another message saying that the opponent's move missed.

* Although Protect is not present as an move in {{g|GO}}, it appears to have inspired the Protect Shield used in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s. The Protect Shield even has a hexagon tiling pattern, similar to Protect's animation in [[Generation VII]], during which Trainer Battles were introduced.

Protect (Japanese: まもる Protect) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.

It is:

Effect

Main article: Protection

Protect 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.

Protect is an increased priority move that will go before most attacks in a turn. If the user goes last in the turn, the move will fail. The chance that Protect 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.

Gen II Gen III Gen IV Gen V Gen VI Gen VII Gen VIII Gen IX
Success rate Times ½ after each use
Times ½ after each use (lowest: 1/8) bug
Times 1/3 after each use
Priority +3
+4

Some moves will do damage through Protect. 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 Protect. The Ability Unseen Fist allows contact moves to bypass Protect.

Status moves that are unaffected by Protect 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 Protect.

Generation II

In this generation only, Protect will fail if the user is behind a substitute.

Generation III

In this generation only, the success rate is meant to have a lower bound of 1/8, but a bug causes it to become erratic afterwards instead.

Protect can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if Harden was used in the previous turn.

Generation IV

In Diamond and Pearl only, due to a bug, if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move (Lock-On/Mind Reader), the weather (Thunder in rain or Blizzard in hail), or an Ability (No Guard), it ignores protection with inverted accuracy. OHKO moves are unaffected and will not hit through protection. This bug was fixed in Platinum.

Generation V onwards

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Protect, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

The user gains the Protect status condition, causing it to be protected from most attacks. The user can still be damaged by items or explosions. The status lasts for 3-6 turns prior to Gates to Infinity, and only 1 turn from Gates to Infinity onwards.

The chance of the move failing rises if the user's most recently used move was Protect or a move that evades enemies' attacks (such as Detect or Endure).

Trivia

  • In Generation II, after the "[Pokémon]'s PROTECTING itself!" message appears, there is another message saying that the opponent's move missed. This is caused by Protect's effect internally leading moves with an accuracy check to miss, and was changed in Generation III to omit the second message.
  • Protect is the most common move among the movesets of Video Game World Championships team's winners.
  • Despite having distinct effects in the games, Reflect, Light Screen, Barrier, Protect, and Safeguard are often depicted in the anime seemingly sharing the same effect that Protect has in the games (protecting the user from most the effect of moves).
  • Although Protect is not present as an move in Pokémon GO, it appears to have inspired the Protect Shield used in Trainer Battles. The Protect Shield even has a hexagon tiling pattern, similar to Protect's animation in Generation VII, during which Trainer Battles were introduced.
