Mat Block protects all Pokémon on the user's side of the field from any moves except [[status move]]s for that turn. Unlike {{m|Protect}}, this move is not an increased priority move. Similar to {{m|Fake Out}}, Mat Block will only work if used on the first turn after the Pokémon enters the field; the Pokémon must be switched out and back in to be able to use Mat Block again.

If a damaging [[Z-Move]] targets a Pokémon protected by Mat Block, the Z-Move will bypass Mat Block but only do 25% of the original damage, but Mat Block remains in effect. {{m|Feint}}, {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}, {{m|Phantom Force}}, and {{m|Shadow Force}} will hit regardless and lift the effect of Mat Block from the target's team when successfully used. Additionally, Mat Block cannot protect against {{m|Future Sight}} or {{m|Doom Desire}}.
