PSI Shield, written as PSIShield in EarthBound Beginnings, (Japanese: サイコシールド Psycho Shield) is a PSI ability in all three Mother games. It protects a single conscious character, or all characters, from enemy PSI-based attacks, and even returns some of the blocked damage to the attacker at higher power levels. PSI Shield is learned in EarthBound Beginnings by Ninten and Ana, in EarthBound by Paula, and in Mother 3 by Lucas. In Earthbound, some PSI attacks can lower it's defense by 1 (its default is 3) except PK Thunder, which instantly causes it to be destroyed.
