Cotton Guard raises the user's Defense by three stages.

Stats can be raised to a maximum of +6 stages each. Assuming no other stat changes, the first use of Cotton Guard would raise Defense to 2.5× normal value, and the second to 4× (the maximum level).

When a Pokémon is holding Grassium Z and uses its Z-Power, Cotton Guard turns into Z-Cotton Guard and eliminates any stat drops applied to the user, in addition to its usual effect as above.
