Illusion will change the appearance of the Pokémon to that of the last Pokémon in the player's [[party]]. Illusion will not disguise the Pokémon if the last Pokémon in the player's party is fainted or is of the same species. Illusion will replicate the type of [[Poké Ball]], [[nickname]] (or species name if none), [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] (if any), [[gender]], and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]] of the Pokémon it is masquerading as; however, it does not replicate the level of the masqueraded Pokémon. <!--If an {{pkmn|Egg}} is in the last position, the Pokémon that is in the Egg will be shown.--> The effect is only aesthetic: effects like the move {{m|Attract}} still use the Pokémon's actual gender. | Illusion will change the appearance of the Pokémon to that of the last Pokémon in the player's [[party]].

The illusion wears off when the Pokémon with this Ability is directly damaged by a damaging move or when Illusion is negated or replaced, causing the Pokémon with this Ability to appear as its true self. Indirect damage or loss of {{stat|HP}} (such as through {{m|Substitute}}, [[Life Orb]], [[weather]], [[status condition]]s, [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazard]]s, [[recoil]], and so on) will not break Illusion. If the Pokémon with Illusion is hit by a [[multi-strike move]], the illusion will be broken after the first hit. | The illusion wears off when the Pokémon with this Ability is directly damaged by a damaging move or when Illusion is negated or replaced, causing the Pokémon with this Ability to appear as its true self.
