Reflect Type changes the user's [[type]] to match the type or types of the target. If the target has had a type added by {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}, Reflect Type will also copy the added {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Ghost}} type respectively. Reflect Type works through {{a|Illusion}}, but fails when used by a Pokémon with {{a|Multitype}}. It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

Reflect Type will fail if the target is a pure {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that has lost its Fire type due to {{m|Burn Up}}; if such a target has additionally been affected by {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}, however, Reflect Type will cause the user to become a {{t|Normal}} type with an added {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Ghost}} type respectively.
