Wonder Guard (Ability): Difference between revisions

|gen=3

Wonder Guard makes the Pokémon with this Ability immune to damaging moves that are not [[super effective]].

For the purposes of Wonder Guard, any {{DL|Type|typeless}} damage is considered super-effective. This means Wonder Guard doesn't prevent {{status|confusion}} damage, damage from {{status|burn}}, {{status|poison}}, [[weather]], [[recoil]], {{FB|List of moves that cause|entry hazards}} and {{m|Struggle}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], Wonder Guard does not affect {{m|Beat Up}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, or {{m|Doom Desire}}.

Wonder Guard does not affect [[status move]]s, such as {{m|Tail Whip}} or {{m|Poison Powder}}.

Wonder Guard prevents damage from {{cat|moves that deal direct damage}}, as long as they are not a type that is super effective against the Pokémon with this Ability. For example, Shedinja with Wonder Guard is immune to {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Psywave}}, but not {{m|Night Shade}}.

{{m|Role Play}} fails if the target has the Ability Wonder Guard. {{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Wonder Guard.

Due to a {{DL|List of glitches (Generation IV)|Fire Fang Wonder Guard glitch|glitch}}, {{m|Fire Fang}} is able to hit through Wonder Guard, even if the target does not have a weakness to {{type|Fire}} moves.

Wonder Guard can be bypassed by {{cat|Abilities that ignore other Abilities|Abilities that ignore Abilities}}.

Fire Fang can no longer bypass Wonder Guard.

 

Wonder Guard cannot be copied by {{a|Power of Alchemy}} or {{a|Receiver}}. Wonder Guard can be bypassed by {{cat|moves that ignore Abilities}}. {{a|Wandering Spirit}} will not swap Abilities with Wonder Guard either.

Wonder Guard makes the Pokémon immune to damaging moves that are not [[super effective]]. It does not prevent any indirect damage, such as from {{status|burn}}, [[weather]] and [[recoil]]. It also does not protect the Pokémon against other typeless damage such as from [[Dungeon tile|traps]], [[throwing item]]s, or [[wand]]s. Damage taken from regular attacks is reduced to 1.

* Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was popular to hack this Ability onto the {{2t|Dark|Ghost}}-type {{p|Spiritomb}} ("{{DL|Appendix:Metagame terminology|Wondertomb/Wondereye|Wondertomb}}") and {{p|Sableye}} ("[[Wondereye]]"), as their complete lack of weaknesses made them impervious to practically all direct damage. From Generation VI onward, this type combination is now weak to the {{t|Fairy}} type.

** This immunity was showcased with the [[Pokéstar Studios]] [[Pokéstar Studios opponents|opponent]] {{DL|Pokéstar Studios opponents|Majin}}, requiring the player to deal indirect damage or change Majin's Ability or type to defeat it.

* If a pure {{type|Electric}} or a {{2t|Poison|Dark}}-type Pokémon has Wonder Guard (e.g. Shedinja using {{m|Reflect Type}} or {{m|Entrainment}} via {{m|Mimic}} on a pure Electric-type or a Poison/Dark-type Pokémon) and holds an [[Air Balloon]], it becomes immune to all 18 types.

** This can be also done by having a pure {{type|Fire}} Pokémon use {{m|Burn Up}} if it acquires Wonder Guard (by Shedinja using {{m|Entrainment}} via {{m|Mimic}} on that Pokémon).
