Mimic allows the user to select one of the target's moves to copy, as well as the move's maximum {{PP}}. The user will retain the copied attack in Mimic's place until it faints or is switched out, or the battle ends. Mimic can't copy {{m|Struggle}} because it is not a normally selectable move. Mimic bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

If Mimic copies a partial trapping move, and if the target switches out when its PP is 0 and before its duration is over, {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Struggle bypassing|the current PP of the move will roll over to 63}} and full {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}}s will be applied to it. Mimic will retain the move's current PP if the user switches out, and full PP Ups will be applied to any moves that Mimic subsequently copies.
