Crafty Shield protects the user's team from any Status category move targeted at them, for the duration of the turn. It has priority +3 so will activate before most other moves.
It does not protect against the moves Perish Song, Spikes, Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes, or Sticky Web; and it does not prevent moves that target the attacker itself (such as Rest).
When a Pokémon is holding Fairium Z and uses its Z-Power, Crafty Shield turns into Z-Crafty Shield and raises Special Defense one stage, in addition to its usual effect as above.
