Mimic is a Normal-type move with no power or accuracy value because it copies one of the target's moves during battle. Once Mimic is used, it allows the user to replace Mimic with the copied move, which it can then use for the remainder of the battle. This strategic move provides versatility, enabling the user to adapt to various situations by gaining access to an opponent's potentially powerful or useful move. Mimic cannot copy moves that are categorized as Z-Moves, Max Moves, or some signature moves specific to certain Pokémon.
This move is replaced by the target's last successfully used move, and its PP changes to 5. If the target hasn't used a move since entering the field, if it tried to use a move this turn and failed, or if the user already knows the targeted move, this move will fail. This effect vanishes when the user leaves the field. If chatter, metronome, mimic, sketch, or struggle is selected, this move will fail. This move cannot be copied by mirror move, nor selected by assist or metronome, nor forced by encore.
