 ==Effect==
 ===In battle===
+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]].
-====Generation V====
+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}}).
-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.
+The illusion disappears when the Pokémon 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.
-A Pokémon with Illusion can disguise itself as another Pokémon with Illusion, provided that they are a different species.
+{{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}} into a Pokémon that is disguised by Illusion.
-If an [[Egg]] is in the last slot the party, Illusion will use the next conscious Pokémon in the party.
+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.
-{{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.
+====Generation V====
+If Illusion would disguise the Pokémon as another Pokémon of the same species, it fails to disguise the Pokémon at all.
-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}}).
+====Generation VI onward====
-====Generation VI====
 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.
-Illusion can disguise itself as a Pokémon that has undergone [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]].
-====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.
-Illusion cannot be copied by {{a|Power of Alchemy}} or {{a|Receiver}}.
-If a Pokémon with Illusion successfully calls for help in an [[SOS Battle]], it will disguise itself as the summoned ally.
-Illusion can disguise itself as a Pokémon that has used [[Ultra Burst]].
