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 an upgraded version of their signature move, Nature's Madness.

Effect

Generation VII

Guardian of Alola deals damage equal to 75% of the target's remaining HP (rounded down, but no less than 1).

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.

Generation VIII onwards

Guardian of Alola cannot be selected in a battle.

It then becomes surrounded by an orb of yellow energy and summons a giant, yellow, headless, humanoid energy-based entity from the ground before closing its shell to merge on top of the entity as its head. The entity then punches the opponent with one of its fists.
