Magic Coat

Psychic

Summary

Magic Coat is a Psychic-type status move with no power and no accuracy value as it does not deal damage directly. Magic Coat reflects certain status moves back at the user, including moves such as Taunt, Leech Seed, and various non-damaging status-inflicting moves like Thunder Wave and Toxic. It essentially creates a protective barrier for the current turn, bouncing back any negative status effects to the opponent. Magic Coat is particularly useful in competitive play for its ability to turn the tables on strategies that rely on status conditions, making it a strategic choice for defensive or utility-focused Pokémon.

Effect

The first non-damaging move targeting the user this turn that inflicts major status effects, stat changes, or trapping effects will be reflected at its user. defog, memento, and teeter dance are not reflected. attract, flatter, gastro acid, leech seed, swagger, worry seed, and yawn are reflected. This move cannot be copied by mirror move.

Short Effect: Reflects back the first effect move used on the user this turn.
