Effect

Moves with priority greater than 0 will not hit friendly Pokémon for the remainder of this turn. If the user is last to act this turn, this move will fail.

If the user successfully used Detect, Endure, Protect, Quick Guard, or Wide Guard on the last turn, this move has a 50% chance to fail.

This move cannot be selected by Assist or Metronome.

Meta

This reflects how the games treat moves and may be somewhat idealistic.
