It copies Me First, not the move called by Me First. Mimic now bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. It now fails to copy the moves Sketch, Transform, Struggle, Metronome, or any move the user already knows. Using a move copied by Mimic does not deduct any PP from Mimic itself anymore.Ī move copied by Mimic will have 5 PP, even if a PP Up or PP Max is used on Mimic to increase its PP. Mimic now copies the target's last used move.
TRANSFORM POKEMON FULL
However, if the move's PP is healed (for instance, by using a PP-healing item or a Pokémon Center), then it will return to its legitimate maximum value (with full PP Ups). This increased PP value can be used normally (and, as usual, other moves copied by Mimic will also use this PP value), and the user will retain the full PP Ups indefinitely. If Mimic copies a partial trapping move, and if the target switches out when its PP is 0 and before its duration is over, the current PP of the move will roll over to 63 and full PP Ups will be applied to it. The move copied by Mimic is lost, and Mimic will be usable again. If a Pokémon uses Mimic which was acquired from Transform (or if a Pokémon uses Mimic as a result of Mirror Move or Metronome acquired from Transform), then the 5 PP that is given by Transform will be used for the copied move as well, instead of using the Pokémon's own PP.ĭue to an oversight in this generation only, if a Pokémon that used Mimic levels up in battle and learns a new move, Mimic's effect is reverted. The maximum PP displayed is taken from the copied move, instead of displaying Mimic's maximum PP. If the player uses any PP-healing items, they will heal up to Mimic's (or Mirror Move's, or Metronome's) maximum PP.ĭue to an oversight in this generation only, moves copied by Mimic display an incorrect maximum PP value. If a Pokémon uses Mimic as a result of Mirror Move or Metronome, then the copied move will use the PP of the move that called it. In this generation only, the copied move will use Mimic's PP (therefore, Mimic itself loses PP whenever a move copied by Mimic is used). Horn Drill copied by Mimic with current PP higher than maximum PP However, Mimic can't copy Struggle because it is not a normally selectable move.

Unlike in later generations, Mimic can copy all selectable moves, including the opponent's Mimic, Transform, and Metronome, as well as any move that the user already knows. However, in link battles as well as the Japanese and English Pokémon Stadium games, Mimic does not display the target's moveset it copies one of the target's moves at random. In battles against a non-player character or wild Pokémon, Mimic allows the user to see the target's moveset and select one of its moves to copy. The user's summary remains unaffected by this, still displaying the user's original moves. The user will retain the copied move in Mimic's place, until the user faints or is switched out, or the battle ends. Reason: Can Mimic copy Transform in Generation III? What moves that call other moves can mimic copy? This move effect may be in need of research. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
