Effects
Instruct tells the user's teammate in a double/triple battle to use its most recent move instead of them. In other words, it allows a teammate to attack twice instead of the two Pokémon attacking once each.
Z-Move effects
When a Pokémon is holding Psychium Z and uses its Z-Power, Instruct turns into Z-Instruct and raises Special Attack one stage, in addition to its usual effect as above.
