I noticed this recently thanks to SnorlaxMonster in a Bulbapedia edit revision:

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Secret_Power_(move)&diff=prev&oldid=2716359


In [[Generation VII]], Secret Power uses the animation of Incinerate when used in volcanic areas, the only instance of it using the animation of a multi-target move in that generation. Unlike in Generation VI, it uses the same animation as Incinerate in battles with multiple opponents, causing both opponents to react to the hit despite the move only affecting one of them.


It's interesting that this occurs in Generation VII but not Generation VI. Does this work in both Ultra Sun/Moon and the original Sun/Moon?

Hello,

I was trying to test this, but what is a volcanic area? In the volcano park and all surroundings, Secret Power seems to display the basic animation.
