Protect cannot always prevent the effects of attacks if the user of the attack that is being used to attack the Pokémon using Protect has the {{a|No Guard}} ability and is using a [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] move, nor can it always protect against those using {{m|Thunder}} while it is raining or {{m|Blizzard}} while it is hailing. In the latter two cases, the moves have a 50% chance of hitting through Protect, whereas with No Guard, the moves have their normal accuracy as their chance to hit. Furthermore, Protect will always be broken by the moves {{m|Feint}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}.
