Dancer will not activate if the move's animation does not play (assuming battle animations are on): if all of the move's targets are {{cat|protection moves|protected}} from it, the move fails to affect any Pokémon (e.g. {{m|Teeter Dance}} if all of the targets are already confused or have {{a|Own Tempo}}), or all targets are immune (e.g. {{type|Electric}} {{m|Revelation Dance}} if the target is {{type|Ground}}). Dancer will not activate if the move is stolen by {{m|Snatch}}. | Dancer will not activate if the move's animation does not play (assuming battle animations are on): if all of the move's targets are {{cat|protection moves|protected}} from it, the move fails to affect any Pokémon (e.g. {{m|Teeter Dance}} if all of the targets are already confused or have {{a|Own Tempo}}), or all targets are immune (e.g. {{type|Electric}} {{m|Revelation Dance}} if the target is {{type|Ground}}).

If the Pokémon with Dancer is {{status|Confusion|confused}}, it may hurt itself instead of copying the move, even if it is protected by a move like {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Mat Block}}. If a Pokémon has {{status|flinch}}ed, this also applies to moves it subsequently tries to copy with Dancer. A Pokémon with Dancer that is locked into a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} (such as {{m|Petal Dance}}) or any move by {{m|Encore}} will still try to copy the move, but will fail unless it is locked into that same dance move; if a Pokémon uses Petal Dance via Dancer while locked into Petal Dance, this usage does not count towards the 2-3 turn duration. | If the Pokémon with Dancer is {{status|Confusion|confused}}, it may hurt itself instead of copying the move, even if it is protected by a move like {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Mat Block}}.

{{m|Lunar Dance}} is copied after the original user faints. If a Pokémon copies {{m|Petal Dance}} via Dancer, it will not be locked into the move. If {{m|Feather Dance}} is reflected by {{a|Magic Bounce}} or {{m|Magic Coat}}, Dancer will not activate for either the initial usage of the move or its reflected use.
