 ==Effect==
 ===In battle===
-Trace copies the Ability of the current opponent. Trace is able to copy {{a|Wonder Guard}}, but not Trace, {{a|Multitype}}, {{a|Illusion}}, {{a|Imposter}}, or {{a|Stance Change}}. In a [[Double Battle]], Trace will randomly copy either opponent's Ability.
+Trace changes into the Ability of a random adjacent opponent.
-If the target of Trace has an untraceable Ability, then Trace will activate when next exposed to a Pokémon that has a traceable Ability.
+Trace can copy {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Trace can be swapped by {{m|Skill Swap}}.
+====Generation III====
+When a Pokémon with Trace enters battle, it copies a random opponent's Ability (replacing itself). It can copy any Ability, but if it copies Trace, it will not activate again.
+Trace can be copied by {{m|Role Play}}.
+====Generation IV====
+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. 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.
+In a [[Double Battle]] with only one opponent remaining, if a Pokémon with Trace is sent into battle to replace a fainted Pokémon, Trace has a 50% chance to select the non-present opponent and not activate. Once a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.), Trace will activate and copy the Ability of the opponent that is present.
+Trace cannot copy Trace, {{a|Forecast}}, or {{a|Multitype}}.
+Trace can be copied by {{m|Role Play}}.
+====Generation V====
+{{incomplete|Section|2=Check Imposter}}
+When a Pokémon with Trace enters battle, it copies a random adjacent opponent's Ability (replacing itself). If no opponents have Abilities that can be copied by Trace when the Pokémon with Trace enters battle, Trace cannot be activated until it enters battle again.
+Trace cannot copy Trace, {{a|Forecast}}, {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{a|Multitype}}, {{a|Illusion}}, or {{a|Zen Mode}}.
+Trace cannot be copied by {{m|Role Play}}. {{m|Entrainment}} will fail if used by a Pokémon with Trace.
+====Generation VI onward====
+{{incomplete|Section|2=Check Power Construct}}
+While a Pokémon with Trace is in battle, if at any time an adjacent opponent has an Ability that can be copied by Trace, Trace will activate and replace itself with that Ability. After activating Trace, if a Pokémon gains Trace again (e.g. via {{m|Skill Swap}}), Trace will activate at the first opportunity.
+Trace cannot copy Trace, {{a|Forecast}}, {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{a|Multitype}}, {{a|Illusion}}, {{a|Zen Mode}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|Stance Change}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, {{a|Receiver}}, {{a|Schooling}}, {{a|Comatose}}, {{a|Shields Down}}, {{a|Disguise}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Battle Bond}}.
+Trace cannot be copied by {{m|Role Play}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}. {{m|Entrainment}} will fail if used by a Pokémon with Trace.
 ===Outside of battle===
 Trace has no effect outside of battle.
