Shadow Shield (Japanese: ファントムガード Phantom Guard) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. It is the signature Ability of Lunala.

Effect

In battle

Shadow Shield reduces damage taken from damage-dealing moves by half when at maximum HP. It does not reduce the amount of HP taken from moves that deal direct damage.

When hit with a multistrike move at maximum HP, only the first hit will have its damage reduced. All further hits will deal full damage.

Unlike Multiscale, this Ability cannot be ignored by moves or Abilities. It can still be changed or suppressed.

Outside of battle

Shadow Shield has no effect outside of battle.
