How it works in Gen VII
If another Pokémon uses certain non-damaging moves this turn, the user steals that move to use itself. If multiple Pokémon use one of those moves this turn, the applicable moves are all stolen by the first Pokémon in turn order that used this move this turn. This effect is ignored while the user is under the effect of Sky Drop.
“The user steals the effects of any attempts to use a healing or stat-changing move.”
