'''Mimic''' (Japanese: '''ものまね''' ''Mimic'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].  

Mimic copies one of the target's current attacks and its maximum PP. The user will retain the copied attack 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.

If Mimic copies a partial trapping move, and if the target switches out when its PP is 0 and before its duration is over, the current PP of the move will roll over to 63 and full PP ups 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.

In Stadium, Mimic will not copy a move's maximum PP.

Mimic cannot create duplicate moves; if the opponent last used a move that the attacking Pokémon already knows, Mimic will fail.

===Generation II-III===

Mimic copies the target's last move, the mimicked move has 5 PP. It fails to mimic the move {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Struggle}} and {{m|Metronome}}, however.  

In {{Pokémon XD}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], [[Shadow moves]] cannot be mimicked. It will instead say "But it failed!".

The move functions the same as in previous generations, but if it is known by a {{p|Bonsly}} or a {{p|Mime Jr.}} when they level up, they will evolve into a {{p|Sudowoodo}} or a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, respectively. It fails to mimic the move {{m|Chatter}}.
