Magic Coat
[SHORT DESC]
Bounces back certain non-damaging moves.
[LONG DESC]
The following moves will not affect the user of Magic Coat, but rather, are bounced back at their user:
* All moves that induce status as their only effect (including Yawn), except Teeter Dance
* All moves that alter the target's stats (including Flatter and Swagger)
* Attract
* Block
* Gastro Acid
* Leech Seed
* Mean Look
* Spider Web
* Worry Seed
Magic Coat is a move I've barely ever seen used before. However, I think there's more potential in it than we realize. It reflects status, trapping, leech seed, and a few other choice moves. Used in tandem with snatch, I think it could be devastating to support pokemon and baton pass chains.
example I've been using on shoddy with some success:
Absol
Super Luck
Life Orb
Lonely 252 attack 232 speed 20 hp
Moveset:
Magic Coat
Snatch
Night Slash / Sucker Punch (move speed to hp)
Fire Blast / rock smash (use adamant)
I'll post some damage calcs if this thread goes anywhere
discuss?
