-Instruct causes the target to repeat its most recent move immediately; {{PP}} will be deducted from moves used in this manner. When hit by this move, it counts as another turn, so the target can be prevented from moving by sleep, confusion, {{a|Truant}}, and similar effects. It doesn't work if the target is in the middle of {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Outrage}}, {{m|Uproar}}, or similar moves. If the Instructed move is {{m|Fake Out}} or {{m|First Impression}}, the target will use them, but the moves will fail.
+Instruct causes the target to repeat its most recent move immediately; {{PP}} will be deducted from moves used in this manner. If the target has yet not made a move this turn when instructed to use its most recent move, it may still use the move it originally selected afterwards.
-Instruct will fail if the target used Instruct itself, Bide, {{m|Struggle}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}} or a similar move, a [[Z-Move]], a {{cat|moves that call other moves|move that calls another move}} (such as {{m|Metronome}}), or a move that has no PP left.
+Instruct will fail if the target has not made any move, is in the middle of a {{cat|consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} (such as {{m|Outrage}}) or {{m|Bide}}, or when the instructed move's PP is depleted. It will also fail if the target's most recent move is Instruct itself, Bide, {{m|Struggle}}, a {{cat|Moves that require recharging|move that requires recharging}} (such as {{m|Hyper Beam}}), a {{cat|moves that call other moves|move that calls another move}} (such as {{m|Metronome}}), or a [[Z-Move]]. If the instructed move is {{m|Fake Out}} or {{m|First Impression}}, the target will use them, but the moves will fail.
+When instructed to use a move, it counts as another turn; the target can individually be prevented from executing the instructed move (e.g. by {{status|sleep}}, {{status|confusion}}, or {{a|Truant}}).
 If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Psychium Z}} into Z-Instruct, the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} rises one stage.
