Пок. VAll friendly Pokémon take 0.75× as much direct damage from moves while this Pokémon is in battle. This effect stacks if multiple allied Pokémon have it.
Friend Guard у бою
Friend Guard reduces the direct damage taken by all allied Pokemon by 25% while the Pokemon with this ability is on the field. This protection applies to all sources of direct move damage, both physical and special, and stacks multiplicatively if multiple allies have Friend Guard active.
The damage reduction only affects damage from moves — residual damage from weather, poison, burn, and entry hazards is not reduced. The ability has no effect in singles battles since there are no allies to protect. In doubles, the 25% reduction applies to the partner; in triples, it applies to both adjacent allies.
Friend Guard is found on supportive Pokemon like Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Happiny, and Vivillon (Scatterbug). In competitive doubles, Clefairy is the most prominent Friend Guard user, often serving as a support Pokemon that reduces incoming damage to its partner while providing other support through Follow Me, Helping Hand, and Icy Wind.
