Welcome to Bulbapedia, DeXter03!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules: Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct. Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around. Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page. Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style. You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy. Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page. If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite. Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment. For more handy links, see the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!   Bfdifan2006something to say? 12:30, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Mimicry

What I meant here when I said it doesn't make sense isn't that the effect you described shouldn't happen, it was that that effect (reseting the type and activating the ability) happens independently of the Pokémon having Mimicry or not, meaning, for example, that any Pokémon that was affected by Soak or a similar effect would change back to its original type when switched out, and any Pokémon with an ability that activates when a terrain is in effect would have its ability activated when switched in with a terrain on the field. More than just that, you also removed important information that a Pokémon with Mimicry that had its type changed will immediately change back to the correct type (acording to the ability) when a terrain is in effect, without necessarily having to switch in and out.

Now, I don't have Sword and Shield, so I can't test anything there myself, but if you tested something there and found out that what we had on the page was incomplete or inaccurate, you didn't communicate it properly. If that's the case, I would suggest you explain in detail here, or on Mimicry's talk page, what is it that you found out. Suic (talk) 13:00, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

@Suic Oh right. I totally forgot that the effect of for example Soak ends after the Pokémon gets switched out. I'm sorry. But then this line of text at the end of the effect section of Mimicry can be removed completely. Mimicry does not get activated when the Pokémon's type gets changed. --DeXter03 (talk) 14:37, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
