How it works in Gen VII
The user uses the move the target chose for use this turn against it, if possible, with its power multiplied by 1.5. The move must be a damaging move other than Beak Blast, Belch, Chatter, Counter, Covet, Focus Punch, Me First, Metal Burst, Mirror Coat, Shell Trap, Struggle, Thief, or any . Fails if the target moves before the user. Ignores the target's substitute for the purpose of copying the move.
“The user cuts ahead of the target to copy and use the target’s intended move with greater power. This move fails if it isn’t used first.”
