Transform copies any changes to the target's type (such as from {{m|Conversion}} or {{a|Color Change}}), Ability (such as from {{m|Skill Swap}}), or moves (via {{m|Mimic}}). It also copies types added by {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}. If the target has no primary types (not counting added types, that is) due to {{m|Roost}}, {{m|Burn Up}}, or {{m|Double Shock}}, the transformation's primary type will be {{t|Normal}}. | Transform copies any changes to the target's type (such as from {{m|Conversion}} or {{a|Color Change}}), Ability (such as from {{m|Skill Swap}}), or moves (via {{m|Mimic}}).

(Prior to [[Generation IV]], there was some complicated [[#Appearance nuances|nuance]] regarding the transformation's coloration.) The copied stats (Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed) include the final values (as seen on the [[summary]] screen) as well as the target's [[base stats]], [[individual values]], and [[effort values]]. Outside of the transformation's appearance, gender (for the purpose of battle mechanics as well as the gender symbol after the name) was only copied starting in [[Generation V]], with [[#Generation II|a small exception]] in [[Generation II]]. | ||
Transform does not affect the user's {{m|Hidden Power}} (whose [[type]], as well as the [[power]] up to Generation V, are based on the user's original IVs). It also will not alter [[status condition]]s or volatile statuses (such as {{m|Telekinesis}} or {{m|Leech Seed}}) based on the transformation's immunities. | Transform does not affect the user's {{m|Hidden Power}} (whose [[type]], as well as the [[power]] up to Generation V, are based on the user's original IVs).
