Instruct Effect
The target immediately uses its most recently-used move. This is independent of the target’s normal action for the turn (i.e., it may end up moving twice), but otherwise functions as usual, including deduction of PP. This effect works for disabled moves and ignores Torment.
“The user instructs the target to reuse the move last used by the target.”
Target: One other Pokémon on the field, selected by the trainer.
