Protect

Type: Normal
PP: 10
Base Power: 0
Accuracy: 0
Battle Effect: Evades an attack, may fail if used in succession
My opinion: Best if used with Toxic for real annoyance reasons, otherwise, it's meh.

All I know is that the AI Abuses it to high heaven.

I've rarely used it, if at all.

This and Detect are ridiculously irritating, and not that good either.

What makes it worse is that the cart abuses it almost as badly as it abuses the Selfdestruct-type moves (Wild Geodude/Graveler Selfdestruct turn 1! Drain those limited resources! We'll send you running back to the Pokemon Center all day!). The only really nasty thing I can see here is if you could manage to get it on the same 'mon as Protect, and then hit Toxic/Leech Seed or (Ghost)Curse/Leech Seed with it.

Toxic is next move of the week OR ELSE.

Protect is annoying, but it saved me from death a few times.
