The Monado needs ether in its targets to be used to its full extent. He can still have visions! The Mechon are thought of as the Ether Eaters or whatever, and unless they are Face Mechon, they have no Ether. While it can still be used to it's full extent against Mechon, there is that exception, but anyway. Mechon have no ether, and yet Shulk still sees visions of them.

Besides, MP has been shown in the FF games, which are strongly linked to the KH games, to be closely related for Ether (ex. In most FF games Ether, Hi-Ether or X-Ethers are used to restore MP.). So Shulk would definitely be able to predict or have visions of Sora's moves.

The Monado 'bends the ether around it to use it's power.' Therefore, as the battle takes place in Xenoblade Chronicles, even if visions against Sora failed, Shulk would still see visions (sure, Sora could be invisible but allow me to carry on) of himself getting hurt. If he was slashed across the chest a gash would appear. If he was hit by a fire spell he would be burned. Etcetera, etcetera. So, being the smart engineer that he is, I'm PRETTY sure he would be able to use common sense and find out how he would get hurt.
