PokÃ©mon with Magic Guard are also unaffected. Rapid Spin and Defog remove the effects of Spikes. Rapid Spin removes Spikes from the user's side of the field, while Defog removes Spikes from the opponent's side of the field. In Generation V, Spikes can be Reflected with Magic Coat.
Spikes is a non-damaging Ground-type move. Spikes sets an entry hazard around the enemy team's field. Spikes can be set up to three times. PokÃ©mon who switch into the spike-ridden field take damage depending on the number of layers of Spikes. One layer of Spikes will damage the opponent PokÃ©mon by 1/8 (12.5%) of its maximum HP, two layers will deal 1/6 (16.67%), and three layers will deal 1/4 (25%).
