Effect

User copies the target's species, weight, type, ability, calculated stats (except HP), and moves. Copied moves will all have 5 PP remaining. IVs are copied for the purposes of Hidden Power, but stats are not recalculated.

Choice Band, Choice Scarf, and Choice Specs stay in effect, and the user must select a new move.

This move cannot be copied by Mirror Move, nor forced by Encore.

Flavor Text
