Illusion (Japanese: イリュージョン Illusion) is an ability introduced in Generation V. Only two Pokémon are currently known to have this ability.

Effect

In battle

Illusion will change the appearance of the Pokémon to a different species. This is dependent on the last Pokémon in the player's party. Along with the species itself, Illusion is broken when the user is damaged, but is not broken by Substitute, weather conditions, status ailments, or entry hazards. Illusion will replicate the type of Poké Ball, species name, Shininess (if any), and gender of the Pokémon it is masquerading as. The effect is only aesthetic, and does not affect the Pokémon's types or moves.

Outside of battle

Illusion has no effect outside of battle.

In the manga

In the Black & White arc of Pokémon Adventures, Zorua is shown to be able to change its appearance at will, much like its other media counterparts. It was shown to be able to change into both human and Pokémon forms, of various genders and varieties as well, such as changing into an innocent-looking boy near Black, and changing into a female Tepig to distract Black's Tepig.
