Effect
Permanently replaces itself with the target's last used move. If that move is Chatter or Struggle, this move will fail.
This move cannot be copied by Mimic or Mirror Move, nor selected by Assist or Metronome, nor forced by Encore.

This reflects how the games treat moves and may be somewhat idealistic.
