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. However, due to an [[List of 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 simply displaying Mimic's 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.
