You crash into them while they're guarding, so you get hurt and they don't

>Didn't hit intended target
>Aka Miss.
Quit using it, it's too inaccurate, and too risky to use.

>>31035647
That doesn't make sense. Missing implies you fucked up and hit the be ground. Protect just means you landed a kick against shield instead.

>>31035641
>Protect fails if the opponent predict and switch out
>they can Protect again with 100% acc

Defend this.

>>31035654
It just says, "[pokemon] kept going and crashed!" Doesn't specifically mention missing the target unless you actually miss with the move

so imagine flying into a solid wall, leg-first at 100mph

>HJK spamming Pheromosa has to deal with crash damage and contact damage
>HJK hits the second time, this kills the Togedemaru

Because it's fun to meme on shitters with shitty Pikaclones.

But protect doesn't imply that

this.

retards actually debating this

>>31035698
the sm animation very clearly does

>slamming into something really hard hurts you

DEFEND THIS

I would like to see Protect affect any move as if it hit but failed. Which would include Iron Throns, Flame Body, Static, Justified, etc.

>>31036581
So slamming into Metagross or Tyrantar isnt Hard? so they are as soft as a glaceon´s butt?

I want to slam into a glaceons butt o damn hard

>>31036678
>I want to slam into a glaceons butt o damn hard
Me too.

everything that hurts that cancerous anorexic roach is a good thing

>>31036678
Steel and rock plus dark is like molding clay to a superpowered leg. A forcefield that is LITERALLY impenetrable is not (unless the user has Infiltrator magic)

That's why you took damage instead.

Took you long enough mate.

Its a pleasure. Now get lost.

Hjk shouldn't miss on protect

Protect in general can't be defended.

Litteraly every protect animations are walls
