When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damage-dealing move (except for {{m|Struggle}} attacks and [[Shadow move]]s), Color Change will change the Pokémon's own type to the type of the move that it was hit by. Color Change does not activate if the Pokémon's {{m|substitute}} is hit.
When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damage-dealing move (except for {{m|Struggle}} attacks and [[Shadow move]]s), Color Change will change the Pokémon's own type to the type of the move that it was hit by. Color Change does not activate if the Pokémon is hit by a move of the same type as itself, even if the Pokémon is dual-typed. Color Change does not activate if the Pokémon's {{m|substitute}} is hit.


Even if the Pokémon with Color Change has two types, it will only have a single type after the effect is applied. If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by {{m|Weather Ball}} during [[shadowy aura]], it will become {{type|Normal}}.
