Detect (move)

Detect (Japanese: みきり All-Seeing) is a non-damaging move introduced in Generation II. It was TM43 in Generation II.

Effect
Detect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage. If it or other protection moves are used consecutively, its success rate decreases.

If powered up by a Fightinium Z into Z-Detect, the user's rises one stage.

Detect can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra two appeal points if move was used in the prior turn.

Detect's technical mechanics, including formulas, glitches, and exceptions, function identically to Protect in all generations.
