-Transform does not copy the target Pokémon's [[Ability]].
+Transform copies the target Pokémon's [[Ability]].
 ===Generation IV===
-Transform now copies the target's Ability. Unlike Generations II and III, the user of the move copies the target's {{Shiny|coloration}} and [[Form differences|form]]; therefore, if the target is {{Shiny}}, then the user's transformed state will be Shiny as well. If Transform is used on a [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], then the Pokémon who used it will transform into a Spiky-eared Pichu. If the alternate form requires holding an item, such as with [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}} or {{p|Arceus}}, and the Pokémon who used Transform is not holding the required item, the Pokémon will first transform to its target's current form, then immediately revert to the form dictated by the transformed Pokémon's held item; therefore, if it transforms into an Arceus but holds a [[Plate]], it will first assume the target Arceus's form, then immediately change to the form corresponding to its Plate.

 A transformed Pokémon retains its original species for determining if it is boosted by Pokémon-specific [[stat-enhancing item]]s, with the exception of [[Metal Powder]] and [[Quick Powder]], which use the target's species.
