If the type of the user's move is changed, such as with {{m|Electrify}} or {{m|Ion Deluge}}, the type it changes to will be considered. When using a move that changes the user's type, such as {{m|Camouflage}}, first Protean changes the user's type to the type of the move, then the move will either fail or change the user's type again. When using {{m|Curse}} (unless its type is changed by {{m|Electrify}}), if the user is not already {{type|Ghost}} prior to the activation of Protean, Protean will change the user to Ghost-type, then the user will use the Ghost-type effect of Curse on itself (regardless of {{m|Crafty Shield}} and {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|Rage Powder}}). | ||
Protean will not activate if the move fails (unless it fails due to the activation of Protean), if the execution is interrupted entirely (such as by the effect of [[infatuation]] or [[confusion]]), if the move is prevented by [[heavy rain]] or [[extremely harsh sunlight]], or if the move is prevented by {{m|Powder}}. Protean will activate even if the move misses, is blocked by a {{cat|protection moves|protection move}}, or fails to affect the opponent. Protean will still change the user's type when using {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} and {{m|Forest's Curse}}, regardless of whether the move successfully executes or not. | Protean will not activate if the move fails (unless it fails due to the activation of Protean), if the execution is interrupted entirely (such as by the effect of [[infatuation]] or [[confusion]]), if the move is prevented by [[heavy rain]] or [[extremely harsh sunlight]], or if the move is prevented by {{m|Powder}}.
