Effects

Quick Guard protects the user's team from all increased priority moves (such as Extreme Speed or Bullet Punch), for the duration of the turn. It has priority +3 so will activate before most other moves.

The accuracy of Quick Guard does not decrease if used consecutively after itself or Wide Guard. However, it does decrease the accuracy of Protect, Detect, Endure, Spiky Shield, King's Shield and Baneful Bunker by ¹⁄₃ each time it or Wide Guard is used.

Changes

In Generation 5, the accuracy of Quick Guard decreases by ¹⁄₂ each time it is used consecutively after itself or any protecting move listed above.

Z-Move effects

When a Pokémon is holding Fightinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Quick Guard turns into Z-Quick Guard and raises Defense one stage, in addition to its usual effect as above.
