Effect Summary

Prevents almost all moves from hitting the user this turn.

Detailed Effect

Max Guard protects the user from almost all moves for the rest of the turn.
Max Guard is the Status category img category Max Move. Unlike most protection moves, Max Guard also protects from:
  • moves that break protection
  • contact-moves used by a Pokémon with the ability Unseen Fist
  • Max Moves
  • Z-Moves
  • most unprotectable moves as listed in the entry for Protect
Max Guard can not protect from G-Max One Blow, G-Max Rapid Flow and Feint (which still does not remove Max Guard's protection effect).
Max Guard fails if used last in the turn.
Max Guard's chance to succeed drops by 66% each time it or other protection moves are used consecutively.
  • In Brilliant DiamondShining Pearl this move can not be selected in battle.
