Baton Pass + Role Play
Can Baton Pass be used to transfer the copied ability or not? ~Male-Gardevoir
Move Toutor Error
On the Natu page, it does not list Role Play as a move it can learn. What type of error is this? Is this page or Natu's right? --Blaziken=Tahu 17:37, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Hey there is an error with the list about which pokemon can learn role play.
Upon double checking with Serebii and my own SoulSilver game there are Pokemon listed as able to learn Role Play when they are really able to learn Magic Coat. i.e. Meganium. I'm just going to leave this message here in case.
Magic Coat/Role Play mix-up
There seems to be a rather big mix-up regarding the Pokemon who learn these two moves. I'll be clearing this confusion up right now by going back to the source. --Gerridan 19:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Zen Mode
Role Play cannot copy Zen Mode. I tried it in Generation V and it didn't work. the great MIKORO (talk to me) 12:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Trace OR same Ability.
Either Role Play doesn't work if the target has Trace, or when the user and the target have the same Ability. When I sent out my Kirlia with Trace against an enemy Kadabra with [[Inner Focus [Ability]|Inner Focus]], obviously my Kirlia gained Inner Focus. In the first and second turn of the battle, the opponent's Kadabra tried using Role Play, ending in a fail both times. Maybe someone can check whether it's impossible to use Role Play on a Pokémon who has/had Trace (since its Ability changed when it traced Inner Focus) or whether it failed due to both Pokémon having the same Ability? --Queenwillneverdie (talk) 12:40, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
