==Effect==
Imprison prevents opponents from using any move which is also known by the user.  In [[Double Battle]]s, the move targets the user and affects both opponents.  However, if no opponent knows a move the user knows when the user attempts to use Imprison, it will fail.  The effect of Imprison lasts until the user switches out or faints.  If the user's moveset changes while Imprison is in effect, such as by {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Sketch}} or {{m|Transform}}, opponents are prevented from using the new moves.

===Generation V===
Imprison no longer fails if no opponent knows a move the user knows when the user attempts to use Imprison.
Imprison will still execute even if no opponent has a move the user knows; though it has no immediate effect in such a case, if the opponent is able to change its moveset (e.g. Mimic, Sketch or Transform) or switches out for a different Pokémon, it will be prevented from using the user's moves.


Imprison can now be affected by {{m|Snatch}}.
