Color Change

Ability used by 1 Emerald Pokémon.

Flavor text

Changes type to foe’s move.

Short effect

Changes type to match when hit by a damaging move.

Effect

When directly damaged by a move of a different type, this Pokémon changes to that single type. Hits absorbed by a Substitute and indirect damage do not trigger it. In Emerald, Color Change can activate after the first hit of a multi-hit move, so subsequent hits use the new type. Struggle, Future Sight and Doom Desire do not trigger it.
