In the {{pkmn|anime}}, even the possibility of changing types was never directly mentioned prior to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', except by {{p|Arceus}}'s {{a|Multitype}}, {{p|Silvally}}'s {{a|RKS System}}, and an implied type change by {{p|Porygon}}'s {{m|Conversion}}. | |||
{{m|Camouflage}}, {{m|Forest's Curse}}, {{a|Color Change}}, and {{m|Transform}} are not known to change Pokémon's types in the anime. Camouflage and Color Change work similarly, turning the user invisible, and Forest's Curse binds the targets with vines from below. {{m|Transform}} has also been used on multiple occasions by {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Mew}}, to change their own appearance and allow them to use [[move]]s from the Pokémon they copied. | {{m|Camouflage}}, {{m|Forest's Curse}}, {{a|Color Change}}, and {{m|Transform}} are not known to change Pokémon's types in the anime.

Despite Soak having not appeared in the anime, its effect of turning the target into a pure {{type|Water}} to allow {{type|Electric}} attacks to hit Pokémon normally resistant or outright immune to them, like {{t|Ground}} types, have been directly referenced in ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]''. This effect can be traced even further back to ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'', prior to the move even debuting in the games, when [[Ash's Pikachu]] defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an Electric attack after the Rock Snake Pokémon had been doused by the sprinklers. | Despite Soak having not appeared in the anime, its effect of turning the target into a pure {{type|Water}} to allow {{type|Electric}} attacks to hit Pokémon normally resistant or outright immune to them, like {{t|Ground}} types, have been directly referenced in ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]''.
