==Effect==
==Effect==
Max Guard protects the user from moves for the rest of the turn. Unlike other {{cat|protection moves}}, it fully protects the user from [[Max Move]]s.
{{main|Protection}}
Max Guard protects the user from moves for the rest of the turn. It offers greater protection than most other [[protection]] moves.


Successfully consecutively using any single-target {{cat|protection moves}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, or {{m|Endure}} decreases the chance of success of single-target protection moves and Endure.
Max Guard fully protects the user from most [[Max Move]]s and cannot be penetrated or nullified by most {{cat|moves that break protection}}. {{m|G-Max One Blow}}, {{m|G-Max Rapid Flow}}, and {{m|Feint}} deal full damage through Max Guard, but Feint does not lift Max Guard's protection like it would other protection effects. Max Guard also follows many of the [[Protection#Unprotectable moves|moves that bypass other protection]], but it successfully protects from {{m|Block}}, {{m|Flower Shield}}, {{m|Gear Up}}, {{m|Magnetic Flux}}, {{m|Phantom Force}}, {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Shadow Force}}, {{m|Teatime}}, {{m|Transform}}, and any contact move affected by {{a|Unseen Fist}}.


Unlike most protection moves, Max Guard protects the user from {{m|Block}}, {{m|Flower Shield}}, {{m|Gear Up}}, {{m|Magnetic Flux}}, {{m|Phantom Force}}, {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Teatime}}, and {{m|Transform}}.
If the user [[priority|goes last]] in the turn, Max Guard will fail. The chance that Max Guard will succeed drops each time the user successfully and consecutively uses {{m|Endure}}, any protection move that [[Protection#Moves that protect only the user|only affects the user]], {{m|Quick Guard}}, or {{m|Wide Guard}}.


Max Guard does not protect the user against {{m|Feint}}, but its effects remain even after being hit by Feint. It does not protect the user from {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Perish Song}}, {{m|Decorate}}, {{m|G-Max One Blow}}, or {{m|G-Max Rapid Flow}}.
