Magic Bounce (Ability): Difference between revisions

Magic Bounce (Japanese: マジックミラー Magic Mirror) is an Ability introduced in Generation V.

Effect

In battle

Magic Bounce reflects the effect of all stat-lowering status moves (excluding Memento), non-damaging status condition-inducing moves, entry hazard moves, moves like Taunt and Torment, and so on back to the user.

Magic Bounce does not activate if the move is used by a Pokémon with Teravolt, Turboblaze, or Mold Breaker. Magic Bounce will only activate once per turn. Magic Bounce cannot reflect a move that was just reflected by Magic Coat or Magic Bounce. If a Pokémon with this Ability is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move like Fly, Magic Bounce will not activate.

Magic Bounce reflects the same moves that Magic Coat does.

Outside of battle

Magic Bounce has no effect outside of battle.
