Effect

Generation I

Mimic randomly copies one of the opponent's current attacks and its maximum PP. The user will retain the copied attack until it faints or is switched out, or the battle ends. Mimic can't copy Struggle because it is not a normally selectable move.

If Mimic copies a partial trapping move, and if the opponent 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 opponent's moveset and select the move to copy.

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

Generation II and III

In Generation II and III, Mimic copies the opponent's last move.

Generation IV

In addition to its Generation III effects, if it is known by a Bonsly or a Mime Jr. when they level up, they will evolve into a Sudowoodo or a Mr. Mime, respectively.
