In battle
Magic Bounce reflects the effect of all stat-lowering status moves (excluding ), status condition-inducing status moves, entry hazard moves, moves like and, and so on back to the user. Magic Bounce reflects the same moves that does.

Moves reflected by Magic Bounce can still miss. Magic Bounce can reflect status Z-Moves (but not their Z-Power effects) and moves used via or. If is reflected, the Pokémon that originally used Parting Shot has its stats lowered while the Pokémon with Magic Bounce is switched out; if Z- is reflected, the Pokémon switched in does not have its HP restored.

Magic Bounce cannot reflect a move if the Pokémon with Magic Bounce is immune to it due to its type or species (e.g. a Pokémon targeted by, or  targeted by ) or is  from that move.
