On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Guardian of Alola (Japanese: ガーディアン・デ・アローラ Guardian de Alola) is a damage-dealing Fairy-type Z-Move introduced in Generation VII. It is the exclusive Z-Move of the guardian deities and a transformed version of their signature move, Nature's Madness.

Effect

Guardian of Alola deals damage equal to 75% of the target's remaining HP.

Like all Z-Moves, Guardian of Alola deals one-quarter of its normal damage (18.75% in this case) if the target is protected by a protection move.

Description

Games Description SMUSUM The user, the Land Spirit Pokémon, obtains Alola's energy using its Z-Power and attacks the target with full force. This reduces the target's HP greatly.

Learnset

Any guardian deity Pokémon can use Guardian of Alola if it knows Nature's Madness, holds Tapunium Z, and if its Trainer wears a Z-Ring. A Ditto transformed into a guardian deity knowing Nature's Madness can use Guardian of Alola as long as the Ditto is holding a Tapunium Z. However, a Smeargle who learns Nature's Madness via Sketch cannot use Guardian of Alola even if the Smeargle is holding the Tapunium Z.

Trivia

• This is the only exclusive Z-Move that deals direct damage.
