No Guard (Ability): Difference between revisions

* A Pokémon with No Guard can use [[one-hit knockout move]]s without missing. This may be a cause of several measures preventing Machop's evolutionary line from having the combination of No Guard and {{m|Fissure}}, which it can learn in [[Generation I]]. Although Machop's line can retain the move Fissure when transferred to [[Generation VII]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], it can only have the Hidden Ability {{a|Steadfast}}, as [[Poké Transporter]] assigns the Hidden Ability to all Pokémon transferred from [[Virtual Console]]. Despite the introduction of the [[Ability Capsule]] and [[Ability Patch]], they were restricted from changing a Hidden Ability to a standard Ability until [[Generation IX]]. If Machop's line appears in a future game with the Ability Patch, [[Pokémon HOME]] will not carry over Fissure to those games, but the combination of No Guard and Fissure will become possible in Sword and Shield only.
