'''Shield Dust''' (Japanese: '''りんぷん''' ''{{wp|Scale (insect anatomy)|Scales}}'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

<div class="listcol">
Pokémon with Shield Dust are unaffected by the [[additional effect]]s of other Pokémon's damaging moves, including additional effects provided by {{a|Poison Touch}}, {{a|Toxic Chain}}, {{a|Stench}}, [[King's Rock]], and [[Razor Fang]]. For example, a Pokémon with Shield Dust cannot be {{status|freeze|frozen}} by {{m|Blizzard}} or made to [[flinch]] by {{m|Fake Out}}.

== Dual ability ==
Shield Dust has no effect on [[status move]]s (such as {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Leech Seed}}) or [[Max Move]]s.
No Pokémon have Shield Dust as one of their two abilities.


{{gamestub}}
Shield Dust prevents a Pokémon's {{status|burn}} being cured by {{m|Sparkling Aria}} if it is the only target of the attack (even in battles such as [[Double Battle]]s, as long as there are no other targets of Sparkling Aria); however, if the attack has multiple targets, all targets will be cured on burn even if they have Shield Dust. ({{m|Wake-Up Slap}} and {{m|Smelling Salts}}, which also cure status conditions, are not considered to have additional effects and thus are not affected by Shield Dust.) This behavior is unique to Sparkling Aria—for example, Shield Dust prevents a Pokémon from being {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} by {{m|Discharge}} regardless of the number of targets.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Caterpie}}, [[Kitty]], and {{adv|Green}}'s {{p|Weedle}} were revealed to have Shield Dust as their Ability.
 
==Trivia==
*Shield Dust effectively prevents the Pokémon from being {{status|frozen}} in battle by any Pokémon (except those with {{a|Mold Breaker}} or one of [[Ability variations#Variations of Mold Breaker|its variants]]), as the Freeze status ailment is always caused as a secondary effect of an opponent's move, and the status cannot be passed to another Pokémon via {{m|Baton Pass}} or {{a|Synchronize}}.
** Similarly, Shield Dust prevents the Pokémon from flinching as it is always caused as a secondary effect of an opponent's move.
*Every Pokémon that can have Shield Dust as an ability is Bug-type.
**Shield Dust is replaced with Shed Skin for the middle stage of every three-stage evolution line that has it. Notably, these middle stage Pokémon are all based on cocoons or (in Spewpa’s case) cased larvae.
