How it works in Gen VIII

Until the end of the turn, the user is unaffected by certain non-damaging moves directed at it and will instead use such moves against the original user. Moves reflected in this way are unable to be reflected again by this or the Magic Bounce Ability's effect. Spikes, Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, and Toxic Spikes can only be reflected once per side, by the leftmost Pokémon under this or the Magic Bounce Ability's effect. The Lightning Rod and Storm Drain Abilities their respective moves before this move takes effect.

“Moves like Leech Seed and moves that inflict status conditions are blocked by a barrier and reflected back to the user of those moves.”
