Effect

In battle

	This Ability effect may be in need of research. Reason: Does Friend Guard stack in Triple Battles and Horde Encounters if multiple allies have the Ability? If so, how does the stacking work? You can discuss this on the talk page.

Friend Guard reduces the damage received by allies (from both opponents and other allies) by 25%. It does not reduce the damage dealt by moves that deal direct damage.

Outside of battle

Friend Guard has no effect outside of battle.
