How it works in Champions
When this Pokémon switches in, it appears as the last unfainted Pokémon in its party until it takes direct damage from another Pokémon's attack. This Pokémon's actual level and HP are displayed instead of those of the mimicked Pokémon.
“The Pokémon fools opponents by entering battle disguised as the last Pokémon in its Trainer's party.”
