Immediately before using any move (except {{m|Struggle}}), a Pokémon with Protean as its Ability will change its type to be the same as the move it is using. Protean always causes the user to become a single-type Pokémon.

If the move used is {{m|Hidden Power}}, the user's type changes to the actual type of Hidden Power the user possesses. If the move {{m|Camouflage}} is used, the user's type first changes to {{t|Normal}}, and then it convert to whatever type Camouflage would have otherwise changed it into. Because Protean 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 (except Struggle) and will always hit with the move {{m|Toxic}}.

The user's new type remains in effect until changed again, or the user is switched out; negating or replacing the Ability does not change the user back to their original type.
