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

{{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 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.
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.


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 [[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.
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.


In-game, Mimic allows the user to see the target's moveset and select the move to copy, except in link battles.
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.


Mimic has an [[accuracy]] of 100.
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.


Mimic can be used to copy {{m|Transform}}.
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 [[Pokémon Stadium]], Mimic will not copy a move's maximum PP.
Mimic has an [[accuracy]] of 100.


===Generation II===
===Generation II===
Mimic copies the target's last move; the mimicked move has 5 PP. It fails to copy the moves {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Struggle}}, {{m|Metronome}}, or any move the user already knows.
Mimic now copies the target's last used move. Using a move copied by Mimic does not deduct any PP from Mimic itself anymore.
 
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.


===Generations III-IV===
===Generations III and IV===
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 copies {{m|Me First}}, not the move called by Me First. It fails to copy [[Shadow move]]s and {{m|Chatter}}.

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.

===Generations V-VI===
===Generation V onwards===
The mimicked move now has the max PP as opposed to 5. Mimic is no longer able to copy Transform. If a {{p|Rayquaza}} mimics {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, it still will not be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].
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]].


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


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

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], Mimic is a move with 17PP and 100% accuracy. The user targets enemy in front of it, copying the last move they used. Mimic cannot copy itself, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Sketch}} or a [[:Category:Moves that call other moves|move that calls other moves]] (except {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Snatch}}). This move is affected by {{m|Taunt}}.
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.  


In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the move can now copy {{m|Nature Power}} and {{m|Metronome}}. It can also copy {{m|Me First}}.
Not all moves can be copied.
