Disguise (Japanese: ばけのかわ Disguise) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. It is the signature Ability of Mimikyu.

Reason: Interaction with Mummy

In battle

If a Mimikyu in its Disguised Form is hit by a damaging attack or hits itself in confusion, Disguise causes it to take no damage. 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 was changed, it is restored to 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 faints and is revived, it will be revived in its Disguised Form and Disguise will be able to activate again.

Disguise will not protect against entry hazards or weather damage. Disguise activates at the first strike of a multi-strike move such as Water Shuriken and will not block damage from remaining strikes. Disguise only blocks the damage from moves; additional effects of damaging moves like paralysis from Nuzzle are not prevented. If Mimikyu has a substitute, the substitute will take damage before Disguise.

Weakness Policy will not activate if Disguise negates the damage, because it is treated as a neutral hit. A held Air Balloon will be popped even if the Disguise negates the damage.

Role Play, Gastro Acid, Worry Seed, Simple Beam, and Entrainment fail if the target has the Ability Disguise. Role Play and Entrainment fail if the user has the Ability Disguise. Skill Swap fails if either Pokémon has Disguise. Disguise cannot be copied by Trace, Power of Alchemy, or Receiver. Disguise cannot be suppressed by Core Enforcer, and instead activates if it hasn't already; if a Pokémon that has its Ability suppressed passes that effect to a Pokémon with this Ability via Baton Pass, that effect fades. If a Pokémon other than Mimikyu obtains Disguise with Imposter or Transform, the Ability will never activate.

Pokémon with Mold Breaker, Teravolt or Turboblaze and those using Moongeist Beam or Sunsteel Strike ignore Disguise, hitting through the disguise without busting it.

Mummy does not replace Disguise if Mimikyu is in Disguised Form. It only replaces Disguise if Mimikyu is in Busted form.

Outside of battle

Disguise has no effect outside of battle.
