Mirror Coat (move)

Mirror Coat (Japanese: ミラーコート Mirror Coat) is a Psychic-type move introduced in Generation II that deals a varying amount of damage.

Effect

If the last amount of damage done before the use of Mirror Coat is greater than 0 and was dealt by a Special move, Mirror Coat will do twice as much damage to the opponent. Although Mirror Coat deals Psychic-type damage, its type does not alter the amount of damage it inflicts.

Mirror Coat is a decreased priority move. If the opponent does not use a decreased priority move during the round that it is used, Mirror Coat will go last regardless of the user's or opponent's speed. If the opponent also uses a decreased priority move during the same round, the attack order of the users will be determined normally.
