If a contact move is targeted at the King's Shield user, the opponent's Attack is lowered by two stages. It has priority +4 so will activate before most other moves. Stats can be lowered to a minimum of -6 stages each. The accuracy of King's Shield drops by 1⁄3 each time it is used consecutively after itself or Protect, Detect, Endure, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, Spiky Shield, or Baneful Bunker.
