All [[move]]s used by or against a Pokémon with this Ability cannot miss. It also allows Pokémon to be hit during the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, {{m|Dive}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Shadow Force}}, {{m|Sky Drop}} and {{m|Phantom Force}}.

In {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, a Pokémon with No Guard can successfully hit an opponent's Pokémon that has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, but only if the attacker uses a move with less than 100% accuracy; the lower the initial accuracy of the move is, the higher the chance of the move breaking through Protect/Detect. Thus, when used against Protect or Detect, moves like {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}} will always be blocked. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are exempted from this behavior; they will always miss. This was a bug, and was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}}, moves will no longer hit through {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}.

This battle mechanic was a bug, and was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}} so that most moves are blocked by Protect and Detect.


In a [[Double Battle]] or a [[Triple Battle]], the effect only applies to the Pokémon with No Guard and any Pokémon targeting it.
