 ==Effect==
 ===In battle===
-====Generation III to IV====
+====Generations III and IV====
-When hit by a damage-dealing [[move]], a Pokémon with Color Change will change its type so that it is the same as that of the move that harmed it. If the Pokémon with Color Change has a {{m|Substitute}}, its type will not change if it is hit by a damage-dealing move until after the Substitute is broken. It will change both types of a dual-typed Pokémon which has gained this Ability. This Ability does not apply to [[Shadow move|Shadow]].
+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.
+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 will activate after the first hit of a [[multi-strike move]]. {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} do not activate Color Change.
+[[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====
-Color Change now only activates on the last hit of multi-hit attacks.
+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).
