Ability Detail

Summary

Magic Bounce is an ability that reflects most non-damaging moves back at the opponent. This means that any status move or entry hazard move (such as Stealth Rock, Spikes, Toxic, Taunt, and Will-O-Wisp) used against a Pokémon with Magic Bounce will be bounced back at the user, effectively protecting the Magic Bounce user from these debilitating effects.

Effects: 1. Status Moves Reflection: Moves like Thunder Wave, Toxic, and Will-O-Wisp that inflict status conditions will be reflected back, causing the status condition to affect the opponent instead. 2. Entry Hazards Defense: Moves that set up entry hazards, such as Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes, will be reflected, preventing the hazards from being set on the Magic Bounce user's side of the field. 3. Other Non-damaging Moves: Moves like Taunt, Leech Seed, Defog, and Sticky Web are also reflected.

**Other

Effects

When this Pokémon is targeted by a move flagged as being reflectable, the move is redirected to its user. All reflectable moves are non-damaging, and most non-damaging moves that target other Pokémon are reflectable. A move reflected by this ability or magic coat cannot be reflected back.
