No guard ability strategy?

Question

If you were in a triple battle, and the Pokemon you are using in the middle has the ability no guard, does this mean that all moves will hit everything in the battle? Like, for example, if you had a seaking with horn drill (a OHKO move) on your left, and it used horn drill on an opposing Pokemon, would it hit no matter what?

Answer 1

No, the No Guard ability only applies to the Pokemon with the ability not the other Pokemon to its Right or Left. If a Pokemon is targeting the Pokemon with No Guard, the opposing Pokemon move will have 100%

No Guard: The accuracy of all moves known by this Pokémon and all Pokémon targeting this Pokémon raises to 100%

No problem :3

no guard + dynamic punch is alreayd crazy
no guard + zap canon or inferno is..

couldn't you skill swap the ability?


or role play?

Skill Swap and Role Play will affect No Guard and allow it to be switched. It's probably not viable anyway, wasting a moveslot and a turn just to make one mon slightly stronger is usually worse than just picking two better Pokemon
