Mimic (move): Difference between revisions

==Effect==

===Generation I===

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 now 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}}. It fails to copy [[Shadow move]]s and {{m|Chatter}}.

===Generations V-VI===

===Generation VII===

Mimic fails to copy [[Z-Move]]s.

===Other effects===
