Spiky Shield
GrassStatus
Spiky Shield prevents any attacks targeted at the user from striking, for the duration of the turn. If a contact move is targeted at the Spiky Shield user on that turn, the attacker receives damage of 1⁄8 their maximum HP. It has priority +4 so will activate before most other moves. Contact damage does not stack with the Rocky Helmet item or the Rough Skin or Iron Barbs abilities. The accuracy of Spiky Shield drops by 1⁄3 each time it is used consecutively after itself or Protect, Detect, Endure, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, King's Shield, or Baneful Bunker.
