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 converts 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}}.

Because the type change does not occur until the move begins being executed, if the execution is interrupted entirely (such as by the effect of [[infatuation]] or [[confusion]]), Protean will not activate. Protean will activate if the move misses or is blocked by moves such as {{m|Protect}}.

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.
