Mimic allows the user to select one of the target's moves to copy, as well as the move's maximum {{PP}}. The user will retain the copied attack in Mimic's place until it faints or is switched out, or the battle ends. Mimic can't copy {{m|Struggle}} because it is not a normally selectable move. | Mimic allows the user to select one of the target's moves to copy, as well as the move's maximum {{PP}}.

Mimic can be used to copy {{m|Transform}} in [[Generation IV]], which could cause [[Mimic glitch|a glitch]] in early copies of the Japanese {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. To trigger the glitch, a Pokémon must use Mimic to copy and use Transform, then faint. If the Mimic-using Pokémon's owner wins the battle, all moves gained from the use of Transform are retained after the battle. | |||

The mimicked move now has the max PP as opposed to 5. If a {{p|Rayquaza}} mimics {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, it still will not be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. | The mimicked move now has the max PP as opposed to 5.
