This move is temporarily replaced by the target's last move; the replacement move will have 5 PP and become part of the user's moveset until the user switches out or the battle ends. Mimic copies attacks even if they miss or the user has immunity toward their type; it cannot copy itself, Struggle, Transform, Sketch, Metronome or moves that the user already knows, and it will fail if the target has yet to use a move. |

Does nothing if the user is awake. If the user asleep, it randomly performs one of its attacks. If Rest is selected, user recovers its HP and stays asleep for two more turns. Sleep Talk can choose an attack that has run out of PP; the generated attacks also do not cost PP, and it cannot generate itself, Bide, Disabled attacks or two-turn attacks with a charge-up turn like Fly or Skull Bash. (Moves with a recharge turn like Hyper Beam can be generated.) |

Substitute |
The user takes one-fourth of its maximum HP to create a substitute; this move fails if the user does not have enough HP for this. Until the substitute is broken, it receives damage from all attacks made by other Pokemon and shields the user from status effects and stat modifiers caused by other Pokemon. The user is still affected by Sandstorm and Attract from behind its Substitute. If a Substitute breaks from a hit during a multistrike move such as Fury Attack, the user takes damage from the remaining strikes. |
