Trace can only activate once while a Pokémon is on the field; even if the Pokémon gains Trace again (e.g. via {{m|Skill Swap}}) after activating it the first time, Trace cannot activate until after it is switched out. | While a Pokémon with Trace is in battle, if at any time an opponent has an Ability that can be copied by Trace, Trace will activate and replace itself with that Ability.
