Mimic (Japanese: ものまね Mimic) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM31 in Generation I. In Generation II, it was the signature move of Sudowoodo.

Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: In which games can Mimic copy Transform? You can discuss this on the talk page.

Generation I

Mimic allows the user to select one of the target's moves to copy, as well as the move's maximum PP. The user will retain the copied attack in Mimic's place until it faints or is switched out, or the battle ends. Mimic can't copy Struggle because it is not a normally selectable move. Mimic bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

If Mimic copies a partial trapping move, and if the target switches out when its PP is 0 and before its duration is over, the current PP of the move will roll over to 63 and full PP Ups will be applied to it. Mimic will retain the move's current PP if the user switches out, and full PP Ups will be applied to any moves that Mimic subsequently copies.

In-game, Mimic allows the user to see the target's moveset and select the move to copy, except in link battles.

Mimic has an accuracy of 100.

In Pokémon Stadium, Mimic will not copy a move's maximum PP.

Generation II

Mimic copies the target's last move; the mimicked move has 5 PP. It fails to copy the moves Sketch, Struggle, Metronome, or any move the user already knows.

Generation III-IV

Mimic now bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. It fails to copy Shadow moves and Chatter.

In early copies of the Japanese Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, there is a glitch involving Mimic. To trigger the glitch, a Pokémon must use Mimic to copy and use Transform, then faint. If the Mimic-using Pokémon's owner wins the battle, all moves gained from the use of Transform are retained after the battle.

Generations V-VI

The mimicked move now has the max PP as opposed to 5. If a Rayquaza mimics Dragon Ascent, it still will not be able to Mega Evolve.

Generation VII

The mimicked move again has 5 PP.

Mimic fails to copy Z-Moves.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Mimic, the user's accuracy raises one stage.

Other effects

Two Pokémon can evolve when they know Mimic: Bonsly into Sudowoodo and Mime Jr. into Mr. Mime.
