If a Mimikyu in its Disguised Form is hit by a damaging attack or hits itself in confusion, Disguise prevents the move from calling the damage formula. The move will thus deal no damage, and type effectiveness will not be calculated (except in case of an immunity, which prevents Disguise from triggering since the move will not hit in the first place). When this effect activates, the message, "Its disguise served it as a decoy!" is displayed, Mimikyu changes to its Busted Form, and finally the message, "<Name>'s disguise was busted!" is displayed. If Mimikyu's type had been changed beforehand, it is restored to
/
when it changes to its Busted Form.
Mimikyu remains in Busted Form if it is switched out, but reverts to Disguised Form outside of battle. If a Mimikyu faints and is revived, it will be revived in its Disguised Form and Disguise will be able to activate again.
Disguise will not protect against entry hazards or weather damage. Disguise activates at the first strike of a multi-strike move such as
Water Shuriken and will not block damage from remaining strikes. Disguise only blocks the damage from moves; additional effects of damaging moves like paralysis from
Nuzzle are not prevented. If Mimikyu has a
Substitute, the
Substitute will take damage before Disguise.
Because a Disguise-busting hit skips the type effectiveness check in the damage formula,
Weakness Policy will not activate regardless of the move's type. A held
Air Balloon will be popped even if Disguise negates the damage.
Gastro Acid,
Worry Seed, and
Simple Beam fail if the target has the Ability Disguise.
Role Play,
Skill Swap, and
Entrainment fail if either Pokémon has Disguise. Disguise cannot be copied by
Trace,
Power of Alchemy, or
Receiver. Disguise cannot be replaced by
Mummy or suppressed by
Core Enforcer.; if a Pokémon that has its Ability suppressed passes that effect to a Pokémon with this Ability via
Baton Pass, that effect fades. If a Pokémon obtains Disguise with
Imposter or
Transform, the Ability will never activate.

Mold Breaker,
Teravolt or

Pokémon with

Sunsteel Strike, and
Photon Geyser. as well as the Z-Moves
Searing Sunraze Smash,
Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom and
Light That Burns the Sky.
