 ==Effect==
 ===In battle===
-====Generations III and IV====
+When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damage-dealing move (with some exceptions mentioned below), the Pokémon's [[type change|types will be changed]] to the type of the move that it was hit by. Even if the Pokémon with Color Change has two types, it will only have a single type after the effect is applied.
-When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damage-dealing move (except for {{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 is hit by a move of the same type as itself, even if the Pokémon is dual-typed. Color Change does not activate if the Pokémon's {{m|substitute}} is hit.
-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}}.
+Color Change does not activate if the Pokémon is hit by a move of the same type as itself, even if the Pokémon has two or three types (the latter from {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}). Color Change does not activate if the Pokémon's {{m|substitute}} is hit.
-Color Change will activate after the first hit of a [[multi-strike move]]. {{m|Future Sight}}, {{m|Doom Desire}} and {{m|Pain Split}} do not activate Color Change.
+If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by {{m|Weather Ball}} during [[shadowy aura]], it will become {{type|Normal}}.
 [[Status condition]]s are inflicted before Color Change activates. As a result, even if Color Change would make the Pokémon become a type that is immune to the status condition, the Pokémon can still be afflicted with the status condition; for example, a Pokémon with Color Change that is hit by {{m|Poison Sting}} has a chance to be {{status|poison}}ed before it becomes {{type|Poison}}.
-====Generation V onward====
+Color Change is not activated by {{m|Struggle}}, [[Shadow move]]s, {{m|Pain Split}} or a typeless {{m|Revelation Dance}}. It will also not activate if the Pokémon is affected by {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} and is hit by a {{t|Grass}} or {{type|Ghost}} move, respectively.
-Color Change now activates after the last hit of a multi-strike move.
-{{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} now activate Color Change when they hit (they do not activate Color Change when used).
+====Generations III and IV====
+Color Change will activate after the first hit of a [[multi-strike move]]. {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} do not activate Color Change.
-Color Change will not activate when the Pokémon is hit by a typeless {{m|Revelation Dance}}. It will also not activate if the Pokémon is affected by {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} and is hit by a {{t|Grass}} or {{type|Ghost}} move, respectively.
+====Generation V onwards====
+Color Change now activates after the last hit of a multi-strike move. {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} now activate Color Change when they hit (they do not activate Color Change when used).
