Safeguard Effect

Protects Pokémon on the user’s side of the field from major status effects and confusion for five turns. Does not cancel existing ailments. This effect remains even if the user leaves the field. If Yawn is used while this move is in effect, it will immediately fail. Defog used by an opponent will end this effect. This effect does not prevent the confusion caused by Outrage, Petal Dance, or Thrash.

“The user creates a protective field that prevents status conditions for five turns.”

Target: The user’s side of the field. Affects the user and its ally (if any).
