Ash developed this technique while trying to find a way to prevent [[Fantina]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from making his Pokémon {{status|sleep}} with {{m|Hypnosis}}. It was eventually used for both offensive and defensive purposes. Ash took inspiration from the [[Contest Battle]] between {{an|Dawn}} and [[Lila]] in the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'' to develop this technique. | ||
In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Ash used it in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with Fantina. Amazed with the method, Fantina named it the ''Counter Shield''. It eventually helped Ash with his battle, earning him the {{badge|Relic}}. | In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Ash used it in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with Fantina.

* During her battle against [[Conway]] in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} commanded the {{p|Grimer}} she {{pkmn2|rental|borrowed}} from the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] to use {{m|Poison Gas}} while spinning to surround its body with smoke in order to avoid the opponent's attacks.

* During Ash's [[JN025|battle]] against {{an|Korrina}} during the [[World Coronation Series]], his {{AP|Dragonite}} used {{m|Dragon Dance}} in a way to not only boost its attack power and speed, but also deflect the opponent's physical attacks, resulting in a counter reminiscent to Counter Shield. This technique is used again in ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', during Ash's entrance battle against [[Raihan]], and in ''[[JN130|Toying With Your Motions!]]'', during the finals of the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]. | |||
** In ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', Dragonite uses a similar style of counter by using {{m|Hurricane}} around itself to deflect a {{m|Psycho Cut}} and a {{m|Dragon Pulse}} from [[Iris's Haxorus]]. | |||
* Of all the characters that have taught their Pokémon to use Counter Shield, {{an|Leon}} is the only one that did not appear in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. | |||
