If the attack has more than one target, targets that are under the effect of Magic Coat, that have this Ability, or both, use that attack after the effects of other targets have resolved, in the same relative order. If that attack has a range of "all opposing Pokémon", this Pokémon uses that attack against each Pokémon it could target.

Storm Drain

• Diamond/Pearl Version: Water-type attacks by other Pokémon (even non-damaging ones) with a range of "single Pokémon except user" are directed to this Pokémon instead of to any other Pokémon that could be a target of that attack (other than its user).

If more than one Pokémon in battle other than this Pokémon has this ability, the attack is directed to the Pokémon (of that kind) that strikes earliest in the turn order.)

If more than one potential target of the attack has this Ability, the attack is directed to the target (of that kind) with the highest Speed stat, or if there is a tie, to a random tied Pokémon.)
