Reflect Type (Japanese: ミラータイプ Mirror Type) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Reflect Type changes the user's type to match the type or types of the target. Reflect Type works through Illusion, but fails when used by a Pokémon with Multitype.

• Reflect Type's effect is that of Conversion in Generation I. From Generation II onward, however, Conversion has instead changed the user's type to that of one of its moves (aside from Curse, when the move was ???-type).
