Effect
In battle
 | This Ability effect may be in need of research. Reason: Check if these Abilities are unaffected: Protosynthesis, Quark Drive, Orichalcum Pulse, Hadron Engine (also cf. Lingering Aroma).You can discuss this on the talk page. |
When a Pokémon with Mummy is hit by a contact move, the attacker's Ability is changed to Mummy. The attacker regains its original Ability once it is switched out, faints, or the battle ends.
If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a multistrike move that makes contact (such as Fury Swipes), the attacking Pokémon's Ability will become Mummy after the first strike.
If a Pokémon with Rock Head uses a recoil contact move on a Pokémon with Mummy, its Ability will become Mummy, then subsequently it will take recoil damage. If a Pokémon with Parental Bond uses a contact move on a Pokémon with Mummy, the Pokémon's Ability will become Mummy after the first strike, then the current move will continue to strike a second time regardless. If a Pokémon with Skill Link uses a multistrike contact move on a Pokémon with Mummy, the Pokémon's Ability will become Mummy after the first strike, then the current move will continue to strike the maximum number of times regardless.
As One, Battle Bond, Comatose, Commander, Disguise, Gulp Missile, Ice Face, Lingering Aroma, Multitype, Power Construct, RKS System, Schooling, Shields Down, Stance Change, Zen Mode, Zero to Hero, and Mummy itself are not affected by Mummy.
Outside of battle
Mummy has no effect outside of battle.
