Pokemon question
« on: March 09, 2012, 12:42:25 AM »
If your Pokemon has an attack-reflecting effect on themself and they're confused, and they hit themselves... Does the attack reflect back infinitely or does it reflect to the opponent?

Scratch that. Here's an actual legitimate non-dumbass question.

If your Pokemon has used Mirror Coat, and your opponent's Pokemon has used Mirror Coat... What happens when you attack? Does it reflect infinitely, steadily gaining power, or does it work as if only one Pokemon has used Mirror Coat?

Thats actually a very good question. Though I believe that both would just negate eachother and no damage is dealt.

Mirror coat only lasts the same turn it was used, so it's impossible for someone to attack.
*Turn 1*
*Pokemon 1 used mirror coat!*
*Pokemon 2 used mirror coat!*
*End of turn 1*

Really? I thought it was a move that only activated the turn after it was used.

Well, it isn't.
It basically works like this:
*Turn 1*
*Pokemon 1 used psychic!*
*Pokemon 2 is hurt by it!*
*Pokemon 2 used Mirror coat!*
*Pokemon 1 is hurt twice as hard as pokemon 2!*
*End of turn 1*

Mirror coat also has extremely low move priority (Like -6, iirc) so it will almost always go last.

Nah, It also works in the same way as"Counter". And the rule of Counter is that if both pokemon use it, then the attack will fail.
