Obstruct prevents any attacks targeted at the user from striking, for the duration of the turn. If a contact move is targeted at the user on that turn, the attacker's Defense is lowered by two stages.
Stats can be lowered to a minimum of -6 stages each.
| Sword Shield | This move enables the user to protect itself from all attacks. Its chance of failing rises if it is used in succession. Direct contact harshly lowers the attacker’s Defense stat. |
| B.Diamond S.Pearl | This move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered. |
