Detect prevents any attacks targeted at the user from striking, for the duration of the turn. It has priority +4 so will activate before most other moves. The move functions identically to Protect.
The accuracy of Detect drops by 1⁄3 each time it is used consecutively after itself or Protect, Endure, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, or Baneful Bunker.
Damage-dealing Z-Moves bypass Detect but deal 1⁄4 of the damage.
When a Pokémon is holding Fightinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Detect turns into Z-Detect and raises Evasiveness one stage, in addition to its usual effect as above.
