How it works in Gen IX
The user is protected from most attacks made by other Pokémon during this turn, and Pokémon trying to make with the user have their Speed lowered by 1 . Non-damaging moves go through this . This move has a 1/X chance of being successful, where X starts at 1 and triples each time this move is successfully used. 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.
“The user spins a silken trap, protecting itself from damage while lowering the Speed stat of any attacker that makes direct contact.”
