If a Mimikyu in its Disguised Form is hit by a damaging attack or hits itself in {{status|confusion}}, Disguise causes it to take no damage. When this effect activates, the message, "''Its disguise served it as a decoy!''" is displayed, Mimikyu changes to its Busted Form, and finally the message, "''<Name>'s disguise was busted!''" is displayed.

Mimikyu remains in Busted Form if it is switched out, but reverts to Disguised Form outside of battle. If a Mimikyu [[fainting|faints]] and is [[revive]]d, it will be revived in its Disguised Form and Disguise will be able to activate again.


Disguise will not protect against [[entry hazard]]s or [[weather]] damage. Disguise activates at the first strike of a [[multi-strike move]] such as {{m|Water Shuriken}} and will not block damage from remaining strikes. Disguise only blocks the [[damage]] from moves; additional effects of damaging moves like {{status|paralysis}} from {{m|Nuzzle}} are not prevented. If Mimikyu has a {{m|substitute}}, the substitute will take damage before Disguise.

{{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, {{m|Simple Beam}}, and {{m|Entrainment}} fail if the target has the Ability Disguise. Role Play and Entrainment fail if the user has the Ability Disguise. {{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Disguise. Disguise cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}. Disguise cannot be <!--replaced by {{a|Mummy}} or--> suppressed by {{m|Core Enforcer}}; if a Pokémon that has its Ability suppressed passes that effect to a Pokémon with this Ability via {{m|Baton Pass}}, that effect fades. If a Pokémon other than Mimikyu obtains Disguise with {{a|Imposter}} or {{m|Transform}}, the Ability will never activate.
