'''Mimic''' (Japanese: '''ものまね''' ''Mimic'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM31]] in Generation I.
 
In [[Generation II]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Sudowoodo}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.


==Effect==
==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Can Mimic copy Transform in Generation III? What moves that call other moves can mimic copy?}}
Mimic copies a [[move]] from the target. The user will retain the copied move in Mimic's place, until the user faints or is switched out, or the battle ends.
The user's [[summary]] remains unaffected by this, still displaying original moves.
===Generation I===
===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.
In battles against a [[non-player character]] or [[wild Pokémon]], Mimic allows the user to see the target's moveset and select one of its moves to copy. However, in link battles as well as the {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese}} and [[Pokémon Stadium|English Pokémon Stadium]] games, Mimic does not display the target's moveset; it copies one of the target's moves at random.
 
Unlike in later generations, Mimic can copy all selectable moves, including the opponent's Mimic, {{m|Transform}}, and {{m|Metronome}}, as well as any move that the user already knows. However, Mimic can't copy {{m|Struggle}} because it is not a normally selectable move.
 
[[File:Mimic Horn Drill PP.png|thumb|left|Horn Drill copied by Mimic with current PP higher than maximum PP<br>(9/5 PP)]]
In this generation only, the copied move will use Mimic's [[PP]] (therefore, Mimic itself loses PP whenever a move copied by Mimic is used). If a Pokémon uses Mimic as a result of {{m|Mirror Move}} or {{m|Metronome}}, then the copied move will use the PP of the move that called it. If the player uses any PP-healing items, they will heal up to Mimic's (or Mirror Move's, or Metronome's) maximum PP.
 
Due to an [[List of battle glitches (Generation I)#Mimic PP glitch|oversight]] in this generation only, moves copied by Mimic display an incorrect maximum PP value. The maximum PP displayed is taken from the copied move, instead of displaying Mimic's maximum PP.
 
If a Pokémon uses Mimic which was acquired from {{m|Transform}} (or if a Pokémon uses Mimic as a result of Mirror Move or Metronome acquired from Transform), then the 5 PP that is given by Transform will be used for the copied move as well, instead of using the Pokémon's own PP.
 
Due to an [[List of battle glitches (Generation I)#Mimic level up glitch|oversight]] in this generation only, if a Pokémon that used Mimic levels up in battle and learns a new [[move]], Mimic's effect is reverted. The move copied by Mimic is lost, and Mimic will be usable again.


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.
If Mimic copies a [[bound|binding]] move, and if the target switches out when its PP is 0 and before its duration is over, {{DL|List of glitches (Generation I)|Struggle bypassing|the current PP of the move will roll over to 63}} and full [[PP Up]]s will be applied to it. This increased PP value can be used normally (and, as usual, other moves copied by Mimic will also use this PP value), and the user will retain the full PP Ups indefinitely. However, if the move's PP is healed (for instance, by using a PP-healing item or a [[Pokémon Center]]), then it will return to its legitimate maximum value (with full PP Ups).


In-game, Mimic allows the user to see the target's moveset and select the move to copy, except in link battles.
Mimic has an [[accuracy]] of 100.


In Stadium, Mimic will not copy a move's maximum PP.
===Generation II===
Mimic now copies the target's last used move. Using a move copied by Mimic does not deduct any PP from Mimic itself anymore.


Mimic cannot create duplicate moves; if the opponent last used a move that the attacking Pokémon already knows, Mimic will fail.
A move copied by Mimic will have 5 [[PP]], even if a [[PP Up]] or [[PP Max]] is used on Mimic to increase its PP.
It now fails to copy the moves {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Transform}}, {{m|Struggle}}, {{m|Metronome}}, or any move the user already knows.


===Generation II-III===
===Generations III and IV===
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.  
Mimic now bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. It copies {{m|Me First}}, not the move called by Me First. It fails to copy [[Shadow move]]s and {{m|Chatter}}.


In {{Pokémon XD}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], [[Shadow moves]] cannot be mimicked. It will instead say "But it failed!".
Mimic can be used to copy {{m|Transform}} in [[Generation IV]], which could cause [[Mimic glitch|a glitch]] in early copies of the Japanese {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. To trigger the glitch, a Pokémon must use Mimic to copy and use Transform, then faint. If the Mimic-using Pokémon's owner wins the battle, all moves gained from the use of Transform are retained after the battle.


===Generation IV on===
===Generation V onwards===
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}}.
The mimicked move now has the max PP as opposed to 5. Mimic is no longer able to copy Transform. A {{p|Rayquaza}} that mimics {{m|Dragon Ascent}} will not trigger the requirement for [[Mega Evolution]].


==Learnset==
Mimic will fail to copy [[Z-Move]]s and [[Max Move]]s.
===[[Generation I]]===

'''All''' Pokémon that can learn TMs in Generation I can learn Mimic.


===[[Generation II]]===
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Mimic, the user's {{stat|accuracy}} is raised by one stage.

Mimic targets the enemy in front, copying the last move they used. Prior to {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Mimic will immediately use the enemy's last used move against the enemy. From Super Mystery Dungeon onwards, Mimic instead copies the enemy's last used move for the duration of the dungeon floor. The copied move can then be used from the next turn.
