-===Generation VI===
+{{main|Protection}}
-King's Shield [[protection|protects]] the user from any moves except [[status move]]s for that turn. Additionally, if King's Shield blocks an attack that would make [[contact]] with the user, the attacker's Attack stat drops by 2 stages. If {{m|Sucker Punch}} is used on a Pokémon that has used King's Shield, the move fails and the Pokémon's Attack does not drop.
+King's Shield protects the user from all effects of [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s that target it during the turn it is used. If King's Shield blocks an attack that would make [[contact]] with the user, the attacker's {{stat|Attack}} stat is lowered. King's Shield causes the Attack stat to drop even if the user of King's Shield was immune to that contact move. (Moves that are blocked do not activate other effects that require making contact, like [[Rocky Helmet]] or {{a|Rough Skin}}.)

+King's Shield also triggers {{p|Aegislash}}'s {{form|Aegislash|form change}}. If Aegislash has {{a|Stance Change}} and uses King's Shield while in Blade Forme, it will change to Shield Forme before using King's Shield. If King's Shield is {{cat|Moves that call other moves|called by another move}}, such as {{m|Sleep Talk}}, Aegislash's form will not change.
+If the user [[priority|goes last]] in the turn, the move will fail. The chance that King's Shield will succeed also 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}}. Each time, the chance of success is divided by 3.
-If selected by an Aegislash with {{a|Stance Change}} while in Blade Forme, it will change to Shield Forme immediately before it would use King's Shield, even if the move fails or is not executed due to an effect such as a [[status condition]] or {{status|confusion}}. Stance Change does not change the user's Forme if King's Shield is {{cat|Moves that call other moves|called by another move}}, such as {{m|Sleep Talk}}.
+Some moves will {{cat|moves that do damage through protection|do damage through King's Shield}}. Most damaging [[Z-Move]]s and [[Max Move]]s will only do 25% of their original damage, except {{m|G-Max One Blow}} and {{m|G-Max Rapid Flow}} which do full damage. {{cat|Moves that break protection}}, like {{m|Feint}}, will do their full damage and remove the effects of King's Shield. The Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} allows [[contact]] moves to bypass King's Shield.
-Using King's Shield, {{m|Silk Trap}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|Baneful Bunker}}, {{m|Obstruct}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, or {{m|Max Guard}} consecutively divides the chance of success of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, Baneful Bunker, Obstruct, and Max Guard by 3 for each consecutive use, with a minimum (1/3)^6 (1/729 or ~0.1%) chance.<ref>https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521</ref>
+King's Shield is an increased [[priority]] move that will go before most attacks in a turn.
-King's Shield can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Taunt}} or {{m|Torment}} was used in the prior turn.
+===Generation VI===
+In this generation only, if the user of King's Shield is immune to a move, that move will not be blocked by King's Shield (and cannot trigger its stat drop).
-===Generation VII===
+Also in this generation only, Aegislash will change form if King's Shield was selected but fails to execute. This may occur if it goes last or it is prevented by a [[status condition]].
-King's Shield causes the Attack stat to drop even if the user of King's Shield was immune to that contact move.
-If Aegislash attempts to use King's Shield but cannot execute it due to an effect such as a [[status condition]] or {{status|confusion}}, Stance Change does not activate.
+King's Shield can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if the move {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Taunt}}, or {{m|Torment}} was used in the prior turn.
+===Generation VII===
 If powered up by a [[Steelium Z]] into Z-King's Shield, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
-===Generation VIII onwards===
+===Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl onwards===
-King's Shield now causes the attacker's Attack stat to drop by one stage instead of two.
-====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
 King's Shield cannot be selected in a battle.
-===Moves that bypass King's Shield===
-If a damaging [[Z-Move]] targets a Pokémon protected by King's Shield, the Z-Move will bypass King's Shield but only do 25% of the original damage (King's Shield remains in effect).
-Additionally, King's Shield is unable to defend against [[status move]]s or any of the following moves:

-The users of these moves do not get an Attack drop. Additionally, Feint, Phantom Force, Shadow Force, Hyperspace Fury, and Hyperspace Hole lift King's Shield's protection for the rest of the turn.
