Move Question

[saar]

can someone tell me what is the diffrence between the move protect
and the move detect?

if there is a diffrence which move is better?

Protect is Normal-type, while Detect is Fighting-type.

Protect has 10PP, while Detect has 5PP.

Protect is a TM, Detect isn't.

But basically it has the same effect.

protect is learned by almost every pokemon, detect has fewer PP but has less likelihood of being Imprisoned.

The two can't be used interchangeably, iirc..

ShinyManafi is right - if you use Protect, then use Detect the turn after, there is a 50% chance that Detect will fail.
