A Pokémon with Multitype cannot be affected by type-changing moves, such as {{m|Soak}}; however, it can be affected by moves that add a type (i.e., {{m|Forest's Curse}} and {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}).
If a Pokémon {{m|transform}}s into Arceus, the Pokémon will now be in the same form as the target Arceus, regardless of its own held item.
If a Pokémon {{m|transform}}s into Arceus, the Pokémon will now be in the same form as the target Arceus, regardless of its own held item.


Multitype will now only prevent the effects of {{m|Knock Off}}, {{m|Trick}}, {{m|Switcheroo}}, {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}} if the Pokémon with Multitype is specifically holding a [[Plate]].
Multitype no longer has an effect items; instead, item-manipulating effects cannot affect {{p|Arceus}} if they would cause it to hold a [[Plate]] or take a Plate it already holds.


{{m|Simple Beam}} and {{m|Entrainment}} fail if the target has the Ability Multitype. Multitype cannot be replaced by {{a|Mummy}}.
