Why is Protect so necessary in VGC?
Sep. 7, 2015I fail to see why everything has it.

It could be used as a filler move. And as Mr. Grime said it protects which it can if you use a weak Pokemon, say Heatran against an Ground type. You could save them using Protect to get your partner say Hydreigon with Surf (yes he can learn Surf, in case you didn’t know). Then if the opponent say Donphan uses Earthquake then it doesn’t affect Mr. Heatran, which allows you to then use your Hydreigon with Surf, not affecting the Heatran but affecting the Donphan, destroying the threat.And I mean say you got 1 HP left and you use Protect in a Hailstorm with a Pokemon with Leftovers or Sitrus Berry. HAH! You just healed yourself using Protect and kept your 1 hp and more.That my dear Watson is the Power Of Protect and why it is so crucial to a team.
