As soon as the user comes into battle, it {{m|transform}}s into its opponent. Broadly, the target's appearance (including form), [[type]]s, [[Ability]], [[stat]]s, and [[move]]s are copied; the user retains its {{stat|HP}} and [[level]]. More precise details are at [[Transform (move)#Effect|Transform (move) → Effect]].

Imposter will not activate if the opponent is transformed, is disguised with {{a|Illusion}}, is behind a {{m|substitute}}, or is a [[Starmobile]]. Imposter only activates when the Pokémon with the Ability is sent out; if it fails to transform into an opponent, it will not activate unless the Pokémon with Imposter is withdrawn and sent out again. Imposter will also not activate when obtained during battle.

In [[Double Battle]]s, [[Triple Battle]]s, and [[Battle Royal]]s, Imposter will target the opponent in the position directly opposite it. If there is no opponent directly opposite it, it will not transform. In [[Horde Encounter]]s, Imposter will copy the opponent in the right-most position. If the opponent of a [[Tera Raid Battle]] has Imposter, it will transform into the host's Pokémon.
