{{MoveResearch|Test if in Stadium 2 (much like in GSC), Mirror Move always fails when used by a transformed Pokémon. Account for moves that Mirror Move's "memory" ignores, such as {{m|Role Play}}, in each generation (refer to [http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/move_restrictions#mirror Smogon] for Gen IV).

Mirror Move uses the last move targeted at the user by a Pokémon still on the field. A move called by Mirror Move in this way counts as the last move used. Moves that target multiple Pokémon count as long as the user of Mirror Move is one of the targets.

Mirror Move will fail if no moves were targeted at the user (by a Pokémon still on the field) before the use of Mirror Move, if the user of the move that would be called by Mirror Move switches out during the turn Mirror Move is used, or if Mirror Move would call itself or a [[Z-Move]]. In [[Generation II]] only, Mirror Move will also always fail when used by a {{m|Transform|transformed}} Pokémon.

{{status|Paralysis}}, {{status|confusion}}, [[:Category:Moves that require recharging|recharging]], and [[:Category:Moves with a charging turn|building up for a multi-turn move]] have no effect on the last move used; if Mirror Move is used against a target that was fully paralyzed, hurt itself in confusion, or executed the first part of a multi-turn move right before its use, Mirror Move will not count this as using a move. In [[Pokémon Stadium]], Mirror Move will copy multi-turn moves during either of the turns they take to execute.
