====Generations III and IV====
After being hit by a damage-dealing [[move]], a Pokémon with Color Change will change its type so that it is the same as that of the move that harmed it. If a Pokémon with Color Change has a {{m|substitute}} take the hit, its type will not change. It will change both types of a dual-type Pokémon that has gained this Ability. This Ability does not apply to [[Shadow move|Shadow]], and getting hit with {{m|Weather Ball}} powered by {{m|Shadow Sky}} changes the Pokémon with this ability to a {{type|Normal}}. Color Change will activate after the first hit of a [[multi-strike move]].<!-- at least Triple Kick in Generation III!-->
When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damage-dealing move (except {{m|Struggle}} and [[Shadow move]]s), Color Change will change the Pokémon's own type to the type of the move that it was hit by. Color Change does not activate if the Pokémon's {{m|substitute}} is hit.
 
Even if the Pokémon with Color Change has two types, it will only have a single type after the effect is applied. If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by {{m|Weather Ball}} during [[shadowy aura]], it will become {{type|Normal}}.
 
Color Change will activate after the first hit of a [[multi-strike move]]. {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} do not activate Color Change.
 
[[Status condition]]s are inflicted before Color Change activates. As a result, even if Color Change would make the Pokémon become a type that is immune to the status condition, the Pokémon can still be afflicted with the status condition; for example, a Pokémon with Color Change that is hit by {{m|Poison Sting}} has a chance to be {{status|poison}}ed before it becomes {{type|Poison}}.


====Generation V====
====Generation V====
Color Change now activates after the last hit of a multi-strike move. {{m|Inferno}} inflicts {{status|burn}} before the type is changed.
Color Change now activates after the last hit of a multi-strike move.
 
{{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} now activate Color Change when they hit (they do not activate Color Change when used).
 
====Generation VII====
Color Change will not activate after a hit with a typeless {{m|Revelation Dance}}.
