Does yawn go through protect?

Question

I was just wondering because I was just about to take on Norman and I didn't know if it could or not.

I believe Protect will block Yawn on the turn it is used, but will not stop the Pokémon from falling asleep if used the turn after. Don't quote me on that, though.

Answer 1

No, I dont believe so, yawn is affected by protect, as well as magic coat, magic bounce and mirror move.

edit: 95% sure.
