Magic Coat (Japanese: マジックコート Magic Coat) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation III. Prior to Generation IV, this was the signature move of Spoink and Grumpig.
Effect
Generations III and IV
Magic Coat reflects any status move that inflicts status conditions back at that move's user. For example, Leech Seed, Attract, or Thunder Wave will reflect back to the target. Teeter Dance and Memento are unaffected by Magic Coat.
Generation V
In this generation, Magic Coat can reflect Teeter Dance. Magic Coat can also reflect entry hazards and moves like Taunt and Torment. Magic Coat reflects the same moves that Magic Bounce does.
