When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damage-dealing move (except for {{m|Struggle}} attacks 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 is hit by a move of the same type as itself, even if the Pokémon is dual-typed.
