Mimicry (Japanese: ぎたい Mimicry) is an Ability introduced in Generation VIII. It is the signature Ability of Galarian Stunfisk.

Effect

In battle

Depending on the terrain, Mimicry will change the type of a Pokémon with this Ability. Its type changes as follows:

• During Electric Terrain, it will become Electric-type.
• During Grassy Terrain, it will become Grass-type.
• During Misty Terrain, it will become Fairy-type.
• During Psychic Terrain, it will become Psychic-type.

If the Pokémon's type gets changed via moves like Soak, Mimikry does not activate until the terrain changes. If an active terrain disappears in this case, Mimikry gets activated and changes the Pokémon's type back to normal.

Outside of battle

It is unknown if Mimicry has an effect outside of battle.
