On Smogon's Movedex: Generation III Generation IV Generation V Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

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, it 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 onward

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.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Magic Coat, the user's Special Defense raises two stages.

Description

Games Description RSEColoXD Reflects special effects back to the attacker. FRLG Reflects back the foe's Leech Seed and any status- damaging move. DPPtHGSSPBR A barrier reflects back to the foe moves like Leech Seed and moves that damage status. BWB2W2 XYORAS SM A barrier reflects back to the target moves like Leech Seed and moves that damage status.
