If a Mimikyu in its Disguised Form is hit by a damaging attack or hits itself in {{status|confusion}}, Disguise | If a Mimikyu in its Disguised Form is hit by a damaging attack or hits itself in {{status|confusion}}, Disguise prevents the move from calling the damage formula. The move will thus deal no damage, and type effectiveness will not be calculated (except in case of an immunity, which prevents Disguise from triggering since the move will not hit in the first place). 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. If Mimikyu's type had been changed beforehand, it is restored to {{2t|Ghost|Fairy}} when it changes to its Busted Form. | ||
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. | Mimikyu remains in Busted Form if it is switched out, but reverts to Disguised Form outside of battle.

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. | Disguise will not protect against [[entry hazard]]s or [[weather]] damage.

[[Weakness Policy]]<!--and type-reducing berries--> will not activate | Because a Disguise-busting hit skips the type effectiveness check in the damage formula, [[Weakness Policy]]<!-- and type-reducing berries--> will not activate regardless of the move's type.
