Crafty-Shield Move Detail

Crafty Shield is a Status move of the Fairy-type. It has no power or accuracy since it does not deal direct damage. Crafty Shield is used to protect the user and its allies from status moves that target them during that turn. This includes moves like Thunder Wave, Toxic, Spore, and Will-O-Wisp. An interesting fact about Crafty Shield is that it only blocks status moves and does not protect against damaging moves. This move is particularly useful in double and triple battles, where protecting multiple Pokémon from debilitating status conditions can swing the tide of the match.
