How it works in Gen VII
Until the end of the turn, all single-target attacks from opponents of the target are redirected to the target. Such attacks are redirected to the target before they can be reflected by Magic Coat or the Magic Bounce Ability, or drawn in by the Lightning Rod or Storm Drain Abilities. Fails if it is not a Double Battle or Battle Royal.
