Role Play cannot copy {{a|Zen Mode}}. I tried it in Generation V and it didn't work.

:This has made me wonder... What about other transformative abilities? IE, can Forecast or Imposter (as difficult as that would be) be copied by Role Play? Also, Trace is unable to copy Illusion, is Role Play similarly unable to? [[User:RiverShock|RiverShock]] ([[User talk:RiverShock|talk]]) 19:04, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

== Trace OR same Ability. ==
Either Role Play doesn't work if the target has [[Trace (Ability)|Trace]], or when the user and the target have the same Ability.
When I sent out my [[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] with Trace against an enemy [[Kadabra (Pokémon)|Kadabra]] with [[Inner Focus [Ability]|Inner Focus]], obviously my Kirlia gained Inner Focus. In the first and second turn of the battle, the opponent's Kadabra tried using Role Play, ending in a fail both times.
Maybe someone can check whether it's impossible to use Role Play on a Pokémon who has/had Trace (since its Ability changed when it traced Inner Focus) or whether it failed due to both Pokémon having the same Ability? --[[User:Queenwillneverdie|Queenwillneverdie]] ([[User talk:Queenwillneverdie|talk]]) 12:40, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
