Pokemon Magic Coat is a move in the popular game series Pokemon. It is an interesting move that can be very useful in battles. Magic Coat is a non-damaging move that reflects any status move back to the opponent. This means that if the opponent tries to use a move that would put a Pokemon under a status condition like sleep, paralysis, or confusion, Magic Coat will bounce it back to them. This can be a great way to turn the tables and give the opponent a taste of their own medicine. What makes Magic Coat even more interesting is that it not only reflects status moves but also reflects certain non-damaging moves like Taunt and Torment.
How did you created the various FX for the witches?
There were many different witch effects in this movie.
One of the first things we began work on were the wand effects. Each witch had a unique wand look when casting spells.
We went through an R& D phase to come up with the overall wand effect idea and then tailored it to each witch to represent her dark or light characteristics.
It may or may not mean anything that Dante Harper was acknowledged as a co-scripter during production and all the way through the movie s long release delay, but only Wirkola receives onscreen writing credit. Kane and I have been friends for a long time, and BJ McDonnell, who directed Hatchet III , is a buddy of mine, and Adam Green is a super-good buddy of mine, and it seemed like the right time and the right project to actually pull the trigger on that.
What makes Magic Coat even more interesting is that it not only reflects status moves but also reflects certain non-damaging moves like Taunt and Torment. These moves are used to disrupt opponents' strategies, but when used on a Pokemon with Magic Coat, they will be reflected back and affect the opponent instead. In addition to reflecting moves, Magic Coat can also bounce back certain entry hazards like Stealth Rock and Spikes.
Review: HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS
The best thing in Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters isn’t Hansel or Gretel or the witches—though they have their moments—but a character with the deceptively genteel name of Edward. He doesn’t have a big part, but he makes a big impression.
Edward is a troll played by Friday the 13th’s Derek Mears in a very impressive animatronic outfit by Spectral Motion, whose prosthetic work throughout bespeaks an admirable ambition to keep things old-fashioned on the FX side. Hansel & Gretel itself varies wildly in tone and approach, veering from the traditional to the modern, from serious menace to snarky comedy (the latter coming as no surprise once you note Will Ferrell and Adam McKay among the producing credits). And the movie announces its grab-bag approach early: Following a prologue that retells, with a horrific straight face, the Brothers Grimm fable of the preteen brother and sister who turn the tables on a cannibalistic witch and roast her alive in her own oven, and a nifty animated main-title sequence, we arrive “many years later” with a sight gag straight out of Mel Brooks.
Instead of men in tights, however, we get siblings in leather and armor: Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) are all grown up and devoted to exterminating witches. Their rep is such that when they arrive in the village of Augsburg, they are met by a young groupie, Ben (Thomas Mann) who keeps a scrapbook of their achievements. He’s at first a distraction and eventually a collaborator in their mission, which involves the disappearances of young children from the area, evidently at the hands of evil sorceresses. Mayor Engleman (Rainer Bock) welcomes Hansel and Gretel’s assistance, while sneering Sheriff Berringer (who else but Peter Stormare?) bristles at this threat to his authority.
AdvertisementThe resulting conflicts and adventures are pitched by director Tommy Wirkola with the same tongue he kept in his cheek in his breakout Nazi-zombie movie Dead Snow. Witches zoom on broomsticks and hurl deadly whammies at the heroes in energetic action setpieces, while Hansel and Gretel respond with weaponry and other equipment that’s determinedly anachronistic. So is their frequent use of four-letter dialogue, which might have shocked back in medieval times but doesn’t really get a rise in this day and age. Hansel and Gretel don’t really need it; as played by Renner and Arterton, they cut more than capable action-hero figures—not superhuman, but able to bounce back from any assault and work together to defeat their foes.
There is, of course, more to the backstory that forged them as witch hunters than initially meets the eye, though the ultimate revelation isn’t all that surprising, and requires another character to explain it during a lengthy, flashback-accompanied speech. In general, Hansel & Gretel’s attempts to go anywhere beneath the surface of the characters don’t come to much, in part because there just isn’t time. Running only 88 minutes (including lengthy end credits), this is yet another film that feels like it was sliced down to the bare minimum in the interest of pacing, and at the expense of any depth that may or may not have been in the screenplay. (It may or may not mean anything that Dante Harper was acknowledged as a co-scripter during production and all the way through the movie’s long release delay, but only Wirkola receives onscreen writing credit.)
AdvertisementAmong the characters who could have been more fleshed out is Edward—kinda ironic to say, considering how physically imposing he is. Still, he’s a lot of fun to watch during the screen time he does have. Famke Janssen, as evil witch Muriel, has a few good moments of menace in and out of prosthetics, but isn’t given enough opportunities to really get under the skin of her character’s evil. As if knowing he’s got limited time to grab the audience’s attention, Stormare mercilessly chews the scenery before graphically becoming part of it, and Pihla Viitala adds just a bit of romantic respite as a village girl who bewitches Hansel.
Wirkola plays the 3D to the hilt, hurling weapons and severed body parts in the audience’s face, and goes pretty graphic with the gore. His unrestrained approach results in a number of jumpy-fun moments, and the anticipation of them helps keep you watching through a scenario that overall doesn’t maintain the same interest. There’s a running joke in the movie in which Hansel, having gorged on sugar at the candy house of the witch he and Gretel defeated as kids, now has to inject himself with medieval insulin on a regular basis to give himself boosts of energy, and it feels like a metaphor for the film itself.
These hazards are popular in competitive battles as they can wear down opposing Pokemon over time, but with Magic Coat, they can be turned against the opponent. Overall, Pokemon Magic Coat is a valuable move that can give the user an advantage in battles. It allows them to reflect status moves, disruptive moves, and entry hazards back to the opponent. This move can be especially useful when used strategically, catching the opponent off guard and turning their own tactics against them..

1. Emily - 1 star
I was really disappointing with Pokemon Magic Coat 2. The graphics were extremely outdated, and the gameplay felt repetitive and unexciting. The story line was poorly developed and lacked depth. Overall, I found the game to be unengaging and a waste of my time. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable gaming experience.
2. John - 2 stars
As a long-time fan of the Pokemon franchise, I had high hopes for Pokemon Magic Coat 2. However, I was sorely disappointed. The game lacked innovation and failed to offer any new features or improvements from its predecessor. The battles felt repetitive and the AI was predictable. The graphics were lackluster and the dialogue felt forced. It's a shame that a beloved franchise like Pokemon would release such a lackluster game.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
Pokemon Magic Coat 2 was a letdown in comparison to the previous Pokemon games. The storyline was weak and predictable, and the characters were one-dimensional. The game lacked the charm and excitement that the Pokemon series is known for. The battles were monotonous, and the lack of new Pokemon designs was disappointing. Overall, it felt like a cash grab rather than a game made with passion and creativity. I wouldn't recommend it to diehard fans of the franchise.
