Reflect Type (Japanese: ミラータイプ Mirror Type) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Reflect Type changes the user's type to match the type or types of the target. Reflect Type works through Illusion, but fails when used by a Pokemon with Multitype.

Trivia

  • Staryu is the only non-legendary Pokémon and the only non-Psychic-type to learn Reflect Type, though it does evolve into a Psychic-type. This marks the second time Staryu has had some degree of exclusivity over a type-changing move, after Camouflage, which was its signature move in Generation III.
  • Reflect Type's effect is that of Conversion in Generation I. From Generation II onward, however, Conversion has instead changed the user's type to that of one of its moves (aside from Curse, when the move was Template:Type2).
