Done Chilly Reception doesn't have its flavor text

this message is relevant in battle not only because it reveals the move even if the user is asleep or frozen, but also because iirc it happens before any pokemon moves so if an opposing slowking uses chilly reception on a turn your pokemon uses u turn, you can then use that information to your advantage, knowing they will use chilly reception and not a move such as sludge bomb or future sight.
 
Was this bad wording? By the footage the text appears only when the user is about to use the move and not before anything else
No, as the footage shows, Chilly Reception's message ([POKEMON is preparing to tell a chillingly bad joke!) appears before the Pokemon takes a sleep turn ([POKEMON] is fast asleep). It doesn't work like Focus Punch, if that's what you were thinking about.
