Disguise ばけのかわ Disguise

Description When the Pokémon is in Disguised Form and takes damage from opposing Pokémon, the Pokémon with this Ability has its HP decreased by a set percentage of its remaining HP, nullifies damage for a set amount of time, and changes to Busted Form. At the same time, a revenge mark is applied to the opposing Pokémon that dealt the damage. The Pokémon with this Ability increases in movement speed when approaching revenge-marked opposing Pokémon and deals increased damage to them. If the Pokémon remains in Busted Form for a set amount of time, it returns to Disguised Form. If the Pokémon knocks out an opposing Pokémon, the time it takes to return to Disguised Form is decreased.

Trivia

• Play With Me... is similar to Mimikyu's Z-Move Let's Snuggle Forever.
• Multiple of Mimikyu's move icons are duplicates of the move icons for other Pokémon that can learn the same moves:
  • Play Rough's icon is the same as Zacian's.
  • Shadow Sneak's icon is the same as Decidueye's.
  • While not identical to it, Shadow Claw's icon is very similar to Zoroark's, except Zoroark is removed from the icon, the color of the claw slash is changed to purple, and there is an extra effect added.
