Quick Guard (move) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokmon encyclopedia
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Quick Guard (Japanese: ファストガード Fast Guard) is a non-damaging Fighting-type move introduced in Generation V.
Effect
Main article: ProtectionQuick Guard protects all Pokémon on the user's side of the field from moves that have increased priority during that turn, such as Quick Attack or Aqua Jet.
If the user goes last in the turn, the move will fail.
Moves that break protection will remove the effects of Quick Guard; Feint, despite being a priority move, will do full damage and remove the protection. The Ability Unseen Fist allows contact moves to bypass Quick Guard.
Status moves that are unaffected by protection are listed here. This primarily applies if they are given priority by an Ability like Prankster.
This move has +3 priority, so it will be executed before most other moves.
Generation V
The following effects only apply to this generation.
The chance that Quick Guard will succeed drops each time the user successfully and consecutively uses Endure, any protection move that only affects the user, Quick Guard, or Wide Guard. Each time, the chance of success is multiplied by 1/2.
Quick Guard does not block moves that have been given an increased priority through Prankster that would not usually have one.
If a Pokémon uses Feint or Shadow Force to attack its own ally who is protected by Quick Guard, Quick Guard will not be dispelled.
Generation VII onwards
If powered up by a Fightinium Z into Z-Quick Guard, the user's Defense stat rises by one stage.

The user gives itself and teammates in the same room the Quick Guard status condition for one turn. This status protects Pokémon from moves that are used from more than one space away. The Pokémon can still take damage from items or explosions.
The chance of the move failing rises if the user's most recently used move was Quick Guard or a move that evades enemies' attacks (such as Detect or Endure).
