it's not one unique mechanic, actually, Roost works differently; I think when we link categories in "See also", we should indicate it's (just) a category we link to

The type change can remove type-related immunities to [[status condition]]s, such that an originally {{type|Poison}} or {{type|Steel}} Pokémon can become {{status|poison}}ed after its type has changed (and will remain poisoned even after the battle ends). However, any status conditions the Pokémon already has are not influenced by the type change; for example, Pokémon will remain poisoned even after becoming a Poison or Steel type. | |||
If a Pokémon copies the types of another (by using {{m|Conversion}} in [[Generation I]] only, {{m|Reflect Type}}, {{m|Transform}}, or via {{a|Imposter}}), the target's type changes are copied as well. If the target is currently typeless, the user will become a pure {{t|Normal}} type. However, if the target was typeless and then gained a type via {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}, the user will have two types: Normal and the added one. | If a Pokémon copies the types of another (by using {{m|Conversion}} in [[Generation I]] only, {{m|Reflect Type}}, {{m|Transform}}, or via {{a|Imposter}}), the target's type changes are copied as well.
