How it works in Gen IX

This Pokémon is to Water-type moves and its Special Attack by 1 when hit by a Water-type move. If this Pokémon is not the target of a single-target Water-type move used by another Pokémon, this Pokémon that move to itself if it is within the range of that move. If multiple Pokémon could redirect with this Ability, it goes to the one with the highest Speed, or in the case of a tie to the one that has had this Ability active longer.

“The Pokémon draws in all Water-type moves. Instead of taking damage from them, its Sp. Atk stat is boosted.”
