For the turn in which Magic Coat is used, the following moves will not affect the user, but rather, will be bounced back at their user:

  • All moves that do no damage but alter the target's stats (including Flatter and Swagger), except Defog and Memento
  • Attract
  • Block
  • Gastro Acid
  • Leech Seed
  • Mean Look
  • Spider Web
  • Worry Seed

Competitive Use

Magic Coat is useful for surprising opponents that employ non-damaging moves against your team, such as Spore, Stealth Rock, or Whirlwind. However, once the surprise factor is gone, opponents can predict around the move, or use the "free turns" to attack. Furthermore, the prediction itself is hard, since some users opt to attack when they have the slightest hint of Magic Coat.
