Mimic allows the user to select one of the target's moves to copy, as well as the move's maximum [[PP]]. The user will retain the copied attack in Mimic's place until it faints or is switched out, or the battle ends. Mimic can't copy {{m|Struggle}} because it is not a normally selectable move. Mimic also cannot create duplicate moves.

Mimic (Japanese: ものまね Mimic) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM31 in Generation I. In Generation II, it was the signature move of Sudowoodo.

Effect

Generation I

Mimic allows the user to select one of the target's moves to copy, as well as the move's maximum PP. The user will retain the copied attack in Mimic's place until it faints or is switched out, or the battle ends. Mimic can't copy Struggle because it is not a normally selectable move. Mimic bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

If Mimic copies a partial trapping move, and if the target switches out when its PP is 0 and before its duration is over, the current PP of the move will roll over to 63 and full PP Ups will be applied to it. Mimic will retain the move's current PP if the user switches out, and full PP Ups will be applied to any moves that Mimic subsequently copies.

In-game, Mimic allows the user to see the target's moveset and select the move to copy, except in link battles.

In Pokémon Stadium, Mimic will not copy a move's maximum PP.

Generation II

Mimic copies the target's last move; the mimicked move has 5 PP. It fails to mimic the moves Sketch, Struggle, and Metronome, or any move the user already knows.

Generation III

In Pokémon XD and Pokémon Colosseum, Mimic cannot copy Shadow moves.

Generation IV

Chatter is unable to be copied by Mimic.

In early copies of the Japanese Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a glitch exists. To trigger the glitch, a Pokémon must use Mimic to copy and use Transform, then faint. If the Mimic-using Pokémon's owner wins the battle, all moves gained from the use of Transform are retained after the battle.

Generation V

The mimicked move now has the max PP as opposed to 5.

Other effects

There are two Pokémon who evolve when they know Mimic: Bonsly into Sudowoodo and Mime Jr. into Mr. Mime.
