Magic Guard
Takes damage only when it is caused directly by a move.
This Pokémon takes damage only when it is caused directly by a move. It avoids damage from weather, recoil, status conditions, and Spikes, but a burn still lowers its Attack. Life Orb still powers up its moves without costing HP. Leech Seed neither damages this Pokémon nor heals the opponent, and Jaboca Berry and Rowap Berry do not activate after its attacks. Struggle, Pain Split, Belly Drum, Substitute, Curse, moves that make the user faint, and confusion damage are not prevented. If it drains HP from a Pokémon with Liquid Ooze, neither Pokémon's HP changes. The bad-poison counter still increases and determines the damage if this ability is lost.
