Once per battle, when Mimikyu with the Ability Disguise is hit by a damaging attack or hits itself in {{status|confusion}}, it will take no damage. When this effect activates, it also causes its appearance to change. Disguise will not be used up by entry hazards or weather damage. If Mimikyu's Disguise is busted, but it [[fainting|faints]] and is then revived, Disguise will be able to take a hit once more.
Once per battle, when Mimikyu with the Ability Disguise is hit by a damaging attack or hits itself in {{status|confusion}}, it will take no damage. When this effect activates, it also causes its appearance to change: battle text will say "''Its disguise served it as a decoy!''", and the head portion of the disguise falls limp, followed by the text, "''Mimikyu's disguise was busted!''". Disguise will not be used up by entry hazards or weather damage. If Mimikyu's Disguise is busted, but it [[fainting|faints]] and is then revived, Disguise will be able to take a hit once more.


Disguise only blocks damage, and does not prevent other additional effects of damaging moves, such as getting {{status|paralyzed}} by {{m|Nuzzle}}. Disguise does not affect [[status move]]s.
