Blocks additional attack effects.
Shield Dust is an ability that prevents the secondary effects of moves used against the Pokémon with this ability. For example, if an opponent uses a move that has a chance to cause paralysis or flinch, Shield Dust will block those secondary effects from occurring. This ability can be particularly useful in battles where opponents rely on status conditions or other secondary effects to gain an advantage.
