When the Pokémon is damaged by an attack, any [[additional effect]]s are negated (similar to the attacker having {{a|Sheer Force}}, but without increasing damage). For example, {{m|Body Slam}} would only deal damage and not have its usual 30% chance of causing {{status|Paralysis}}. It does not stop [[move]]s that do not cause damage, like {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Shield Dust also prevents poisoning from {{a|Poison Touch}} unless the user of Poison Touch used {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}.
