Protective Pads

Protective Pads is an item in the Pokémon series that serves to protect the holder from the effects of moves that make contact. Specifically, when a Pokémon holds Protective Pads, it does not trigger the secondary effects of contact moves that would otherwise affect it. These secondary effects can include abilities or items like Static, Flame Body, Iron Barbs, Rough Skin, and the Rocky Helmet, which typically activate when the opponent's move makes physical contact.
