Copycat (Japanese: まねっこ Imitate) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Copycat causes the user to use the last move that the target used. A move called by Copycat in this way counts as the last move used.

Copycat will fail if the target did not make a move selection in the round before the use of Copycat, switches out during the round Copycat is used, or if the opponent's last move used was Copycat or Mirror Move. (Note that if either was used successfully, the move copied by that will be the most recent move used, and so that move will be copied by this use of Copycat.)

Paralysis, confusion, recharging, and building up for a multi-turn move have no effect to the last move used. If Copycat is used against a target that was fully paralyzed or hurt itself right before its use, Copycat will still use the last move that the target used. If Copycat is used during the first turn of a multi-turn move, Copycat will use the move that the opponent used before that move (or fail if no move was previously made).

A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is disabled if it is called via Copycat.
