Imposter (Japanese: かわりもの Eccentric) is an Ability introduced in Generation V. Only one Pokémon can have this Ability, and it is obtained through the Dream World.
Effect
In battle
As soon as the user comes into battle, it Transforms into its opponent, copying the opponent's stats exactly, with the exception of HP. Imposter copies all stat changes on the target originating from moves and abilities such as Swords Dance and Intimidate, but not from items such as Choice Specs. Imposter will not Transform the user if the opponent is an Illusion or behind a Substitute.
Imposter does not copy its opponent's IVs but it does copy all EVs except for HP.
Outside of battle
Imposter has no effect outside of battle.
