Magic Coat confuses me

[Silver Dragonair]

It says special effects are reflected to the user...

what does that mean??? Does it mean when inflicted with status condition it sends it back to the other user. I dont get it, secondary effect says special attacks reflected back to user.

Is it like a mirror coat but without double the damage???

I tried it on a Wurmple once, and when the thing attempted String shot, it got the one that had it's Spd lowered.

I guess Magic coat imitates the status/stat move right back at the opponent while the user isn't harmed.

Non damagable moves that affect your pokémon can be countered via Magic Coat, some examples are:

Leech Seed
Smokescreen
Attract
Yawn
Spore
Thunder Wave
Toxic
Will-o-wisp
Swagger
Flatter

those things, I hope you got it now

I think Roar too... but I´m not sure.

thats pretty awesome

its not worth training spoink for though

 

[Manipulon]

So Magic Coat is like Bide for non-damaging moves?
Awesome! If only I had one, I could pay back those annoying Pokemon who repeatedly waste my time with Growl/Leer/String Shot!

There's also the Run option, ya know...

Unless it's trainer battles. But they're too easy to beat, anyway.
