In its true form, it possess a huge amount of power. Legends of its avarice tell how it once carried off an entire castle to gain the treasure hidden within.

Equivalent of the “Safeguard” ability from Gen 3.

Now that you mention it, Safeguard has *only* ever appeared as an Ability name when it blocks ex and EX cards, and never anything else. This, Burning Shadows Alolan Ninetales, Darkness Ablaze Decidueye, Keldeo GX, Champion’s Path Altaria and Astral Radiance Miltank all use different names. Wouldn’t be surprised if Safeguard comes back for SV’s new ex cards!

And lo and behold, Safeguard indeed returns with SV’s first non-ex Mimikyu! Unlike prior Safeguard examples though, it’s inclusive of another rule box type in Pokemon V.
