Efficiency meaning how good something is at doing its purpose, in this case, defend.AquaWaifu said:What do you mean effciency?
He just puts up a barrier towards an attack he doesnt want to take. Unless he used it literally for the previous attak from before CSRC, it'll work, and hell it would even then still have a decent chance of working.
In this case, we say that Protect is capable of completly nulifying attacks that aren't far superior to the user of Protect.AquaWaifu said:Its good enough to protect against stuff that can do severe damage. Like this is Pokemon, its kinda hard to get super detailed "limits" on what Protect can deal with. Usage in the games is mechanicl so thats useless, and anime and manga is....spotty I assume due to plot.
Ofc not. Blocking anything your opponent may thrown at you? How is that useless?AquaWaifu said:I feel like it should be above "arent far" that would make it kinda of useless.
I don't know what game you were playing, but Protect works on Brick Break. https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Protect_(move)Quibster said:Yes, and my 9 year old self was convinced that I could block Brick Break with Protect as well.
Protect wasn't introduced until gen 2. The bulbapedia page shows all the moves that aren't affected by the move.Bob8999 said:in older versions of pokemon brick break broke through protect but those were really old games like blue, green, red, and yellow version i believe.
im like 90% certain it was a thing in blue version but then again i havent played that in like 15 years.HenryWong122 said:Protect wasn't introduced until gen 2.

I would like to point out that Electroweb (a move not design for protection) fully block a Z-Move.The man with the Midas touch said:I would like to point out that Protect cant fully block Z-Moves, so i assume It wont be able to block an attack that is massively stronger than the user.
