It now inflicts damage as a {{type|Psychic}} move; therefore, it is affected by type effectiveness (so cannot affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon), can receive {{STAB}}, and will not necessarily hit through {{a|Wonder Guard}}. If the user has {{a|Normalize}} or was affected by {{m|Electrify}} when Future Sight hits, it hits as a {{t|Normal}}- or {{type|Electric}} move respectively (regardless of whether this was the case when the move was used); however, it cannot be redirected by {{a|Lightning Rod}} even if it is an Electric-type move. Future Sight can now land a [[critical hit]]. | It now inflicts damage as a {{type|Psychic}} move; therefore, it is affected by type effectiveness (so cannot affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon), can receive {{STAB}}, and will not necessarily hit through {{a|Wonder Guard}}.

(If a Pokémon occupies the selected slot by the time the attack is due, Future Sight will attack as intended.) If there is no target at the targeted slot by the time the attack is due, Future Sight will still fail without further notice. | In battles with multiple opponents, Future Sight may now target a slot without an active Pokémon.
