Can No Guard guarantee protect even if used consecutively?
Jul. 26, 2020I was thinking of a strategy of toxic stalling with no guard protect using Machamp (It can learn both protect and toxic). Wanted to know if it is possible.

I feel like you’re misunderstanding a few things.
The easiest way to explain No Guard is that it turns all attacks into Aerial Ace, i.e moves that don’t check accuracy.
Protect does not have accuracy. It doesn’t target itself, it simply happens. It has no targetting and no accuracy.
No Guard affects attacks with an accuracy check and then ignores it. Protect does not have an accuracy check, so it wouldn’t be affected by No Guard at all.

No accuracy, no relation to No Guard.
