| Attack Information |
| When Mimic is successfully used, it will temporarily overwrite itself with the move that the opponent attempted to perform (successful or not) just before the execution of Mimic. Mimic will automatically fail if at the time of execution the opposing pokemon has not even attempted any moves since it has come into play (either it was switched in just prior to the execution of Mimic normally, or the switch in was due to the pokemon acting just prior to the using pokemon executed either Explosion or Selfdestruct [which means these moves cannot be copied], or it has been fully paralyzed on each of its turns).
There are also a few moves which Mimic is unable to copy (which will also cause it to automatically fail when used). They are as follows:
1. Mimic and other moves which call up other moves. This includes Metronome, Mirror Move, and Sleep Talk.
2. Any move the using pokemon already knows. This means that if the using pokemon already has Thunderbolt in its moveset, Mimic will fail if the opponent uses Thunderbolt just prior to the execution of Mimic.
3. Struggle and Sketch.
Mimic is affected by Brightpowder when the opposing pokémon is equipped with it.
