How many Protects can be used in succession?

Jul. 31, 2014

Protect-Evades attack, but may fail if used in succession.

The maximum successions of me using Protect was3 times.

That being said, the chances are ridiculously low.Here is a chart:

SourceHope I helped.

Protect’s success rate decays by 50% each consecutive turn it, Detect, King’s Shield, Spiky Shield, Quick Guard or Endure is used, with a minimum chance of 12.5%. This means a chart would go like this:

Turn 1:100% Success RateTurn 2:50%Turn 3:25%Turn 4:12.5%Turn 5:12.5%Turn 6:12.5%Turn N:(1/2)^n-1 ≥ 12.5%

The chart thatImmortalgave was for Generation III, as there was a glitch that made it not properly cap off at 12.5% and gave it a weird sequence of success rates.

This was fixed in Diamond & Pearl and Protect has worked properly ever since.
