How it works in Champions

The user and its party members are protected from moves made by other Pokémon, including allies, during this turn that target all adjacent foes or all adjacent Pokémon. This move modifies the same 1/X chance of being successful used by other moves, where X starts at 1 and triples each time this move is successfully used, but does not use the chance to check for failure. X resets to 1 if this move fails, if the user's last move used is not Baneful Bunker, Burning Bulwark, Detect, Endure, King's Shield, Max Guard, Obstruct, Protect, Quick Guard, Silk Trap, Spiky Shield, or Wide Guard, or if it was one of those moves and the user's protection was broken. Fails if the user moves last this turn or if this move is already in effect for the user's side.
