Corrected some mistakes. 1 - Protean changes both types of a dual-typed Pokemon. 2 - Protean does reveal Hidden Power's actual type.

 ===In battle===
-Immediately before using a move, a Pokémon with Protean as its ability will change its type to that of the move it is using. If a dual-type Pokémon triggers this Ability, then it will lose its secondary type and only the primary type will change. Using {{m|Hidden Power}} changes the user's type into Normal, rather than the type changing to the type of the Hidden Power.  A Pokémon with Protean will not change type when using {{m|Struggle}}. Also, every move the Pokémon uses will gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]], except for Hidden Power.
+Immediately before using any move (other than {{m|Struggle}}), a Pokémon with Protean as its ability will change its type(s) to match that of the move it is using.  If the move used is {{m|Hidden Power}}, the user's type changes to the actual type of Hidden Power the user posesses.
+The user's new type remains in effect until changed again, or the user is switched out; negating the ability via {{m|Gastro Acid}} ({{m|Entrainment}}, etc.), does not change the user back to their original typing.

+==Trivia==
+* Because this ability activates prior to executing a move, the user will receive [[same-type attack bonus]] on every move it uses regardless of the move's type.
