Crafty Shield protects all Pokémon on the user's side of the field from [[status move]]s. It does not protect against damaging moves or moves that target their user. Crafty Shield can be used consecutively without failing.

Crafty Shield even protects from status moves that can bypass Protect, Detect, and Spiky Shield (such as {{m|Sketch}} and {{m|Play Nice}}). The only status moves that target a Pokémon other than the user it cannot protect from are {{m|Perish Song}} and [[entry hazard]] moves. Because it cannot protect against moves that target their user, it will only protect a Pokémon from {{m|Acupressure}} if it targets a Pokémon other than the user.
