How it works in Gen VII
The user and its party members are protected from damaging attacks made by other Pokémon, including allies, during this turn. Fails unless it is the user's first turn on the field, if the user moves last this turn, or if this move is already in effect for the user's side.
“Using a pulled-up mat as a shield, the user protects itself and its allies from damaging moves. This does not stop status moves.”
