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
This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Do the details of the effects of Magic Bounce also apply to Magic Coat? Is Floral Healing affected by Magic Coat in 1.2.0 onwards? You can discuss this on the talk page. |
Magic Coat reflects certain status moves back at that move's user. Magic Coat fails if the user goes last in the turn.
If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Magic Coat, the user's Special Defense rises two stages.

In Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky, Magic Coat is a non-damaging move with 19PP. It gives the user Magic Coat status, which causes certain moves targeting it to be reflected back at the attacker instead, without being affected by them. Magic Coat only reflects the effect the move would have on the user, rather than its usage; for example a move with multiple targets will still target other original targets, even if Pokémon becomes incapable of action from the bounced move. Magic Coat does not bounce back attacks if the attacker is not adjacent, if the move has already been bounced back, or if it was cutting a corner. The status lasts for 11-12 turns. This move is affected by Taunt.
The following moves can be reflected by Magic Coat:

Trivia
- In Generation III, the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it targets the user (thus it does not need an accuracy check). Any move reflected by Magic Coat still has to undergo accuracy checks as normal, however.
- In Generation VII, Blacephalon can learn this move by leveling up, but not by Move Tutor.
