{{AbilityResearch|Can Illusion show a Pokémon inside an {{pkmn|Egg}} (in each [[generation]])?}}
When a Trainer's Pokémon with Illusion enters battle, Illusion changes the appearance of the Pokémon to that of the last conscious, non-{{pkmn|Egg}} Pokémon in its Trainer's [[party]]. If the Pokémon with Illusion was the last conscious non-Egg Pokémon in the party before being switched in, Illusion does not change its appearance.
====Generation V====
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.


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.
Illusion replicates the appearance (including species, [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]], and [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]), [[nickname]] (or species name if none), [[Poké Ball]], and [[gender]] of the Pokémon it is masquerading as; however, it does not replicate the level of the masqueraded Pokémon. The effect is only aesthetic—effects such as {{m|Attract}} still use the Pokémon's actual gender. On the user interface, an opponent's Pokémon disguised by Illusion will appear to be the type of the Pokémon it is disguised as (even if it is affected by a move such as {{m|Soak}}).


A Pokémon with Illusion can disguise itself as another Pokémon with Illusion, provided that they are a different species.
The illusion disappears if the Pokémon has its Ability changed or suppressed or if it takes [[damage]] from a damaging move. Indirect damage (such as from a [[Life Orb]], [[weather]], [[status condition]]s, [[recoil]], etc.) will not break the illusion. If the Pokémon with Illusion is hit by a [[multi-strike move]], the illusion will be broken after the first hit. If a Pokémon with Illusion uses a [[Z-Move]], the illusion wears off immediately before using the Z-Move.


{{m|Role Play}} fails if the target has the Ability Illusion. {{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Illusion. Illusion cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}. If a Pokémon obtains this Ability with {{a|Imposter}} or {{m|Transform}}, it will not disguise itself.
{{m|Role Play}} fails if the target has the Ability Illusion. {{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Illusion. Illusion cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}. If a Pokémon obtains this Ability with {{a|Imposter}} or {{m|Transform}}, it will not disguise itself. Pokémon cannot {{m|transform}} if disguised by Illusion, nor can it transform into a Pokémon that is disguised by Illusion.


In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if the player visits [[Lostlorn Forest]] with a [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|GameStop Entei, Raikou, and/or Suicune]] in their party, they can encounter a {{p|Zoroark}}, which enters the battle already disguised as the [[Legendary beasts|Legendary beast]] that has a type advantage over the beast closest to the first slot in the player's party ({{p|Entei}} in case of {{p|Raikou}}).
Additionally, wild Pokémon can disguise themselves with Illusion under certain circumstances.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, in the {{DL|Lostlorn Forest#Event|special event encounter}} with a wild Zoroark in [[Lostlorn Forest]], the wild Zoroark will be disguised as {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, or {{p|Suicune}} (depending on the Pokémon that triggered the event).
* If a [[wild Pokémon]] with Illusion successfully calls an ally for help in an [[SOS Battle]], it will disguise itself as the summoned ally.
 
====Generation V====
If Illusion would disguise the Pokémon as another Pokémon of the same species, it fails to disguise the Pokémon at all.


====Generation VI====
====Generation VI====
{{AbilityResearch|How does Illusion interact with a Pokémon that has undergone Mega Evolution/Primal Reversion/Ultra Burst and been switched out?}}
Illusion can now disguise itself as another Pokémon with Illusion of the same species.
Illusion can now disguise itself as another Pokémon with Illusion of the same species.


Illusion now disguises the Pokémon as the last conscious Pokémon in the party.
====Generation VIII====
 
If the Pokémon [[Dynamax]]es while disguised as a Pokémon with the [[Gigantamax Factor]], it will Dynamax into the standard form of the Pokémon, not the Gigantamax form. If disguised as {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, or {{p|Eternatus}}, the Pokémon will not be able to Dynamax.
====Generation VII====
On the user interface, an opponent's Pokémon disguised by Illusion will appear to be the same type as the species it is disguised as (even if it is affected by a move such as {{m|Soak}}).


If a Pokémon with Illusion uses a [[Z-Move]], the illusion wears off immediately before using the Z-Move.
====Generation IX====
In most circumstances, if the Pokémon {{Tera}}stallizes while disguised, it will not lose its illusion. However, it will Terastallize into its Tera Type rather than the disguised Pokémon's Tera Type. If disguised as {{p|Ogerpon}} or {{p|Terapagos}}, the Pokémon's illusion will fade before it Terastallizes.


Illusion cannot be copied by {{a|Power of Alchemy}} or {{a|Receiver}}.
If the last conscious non-Egg Pokémon in the party is a Terastallized Ogerpon or Terapagos, Illusion will not activate when the Pokémon is switched in. Illusion will also not activate if the Pokémon with Illusion is Terastallized and the last Pokémon in the party is Ogerpon or Terapagos.


If a Pokémon with Illusion successfully calls for help in an [[SOS Battle]], it will disguise itself as the summoned ally.
If the Pokémon is out of its Poké Ball and the player starts a battle with a wild Pokémon, Illusion will not activate at the beginning of the match.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In Generation V, if {{m|Entrainment}} is used on a Pokémon with Illusion while it is disguised as another Pokémon, when its Ability activates the banner will state that the Ability belongs to the Pokémon that was used as the disguise. If the Pokémon's Ability is changed again, these messages will correctly state the Pokémon who the Ability belongs to when it activates.

* Although this Ability is forbidden in [[Pokéstar Studios]], [[Brycen]] uses a {{p|Zoroark}} with this Ability in one of the [[Brycen-Man Series|Brycen-Man]] movies.
* Although Abilities do not occur in {{g|GO}}, wild Zorua will appear in the game disguised as the player's [[Buddy Pokémon]], alluding to this Ability.
