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. {{m|Inferno|does not activate Color Change, since it always {{Burn (status condition)|burns]] the target and {{t|Fire}}-types are immune to burn.

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}}.
