 Wonder Guard makes the Pokémon with this Ability immune to damaging moves that are not [[super effective]].
-It does not prevent {{status|confusion}} damage. It does not affect [[status move]]s, such as {{m|Tail Whip}} or {{m|Poison Powder}}. It does not prevent any indirect damage, such as from {{status|burn}}, [[weather]], [[recoil]], and {{FB|List of moves that cause|entry hazards}}.
+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}}, [[weather]], [[recoil]], {{FB|List of moves that cause|entry hazards}} and {{m|Struggle}}.
