Detect

FightingStatus

Detect prevents any attacks targeted at the user from striking, for the duration of the turn. It has priority +4 so will activate before most other moves. The move functions identically to Protect. The accuracy of Detect drops by 1⁄3 each time it is used consecutively after itself or Protect, Endure, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, or Baneful Bunker. Damage-dealing Z-Moves bypass Detect but deal 1⁄4 of the damage.
