Effect
In battle
Transform allows the user to become a copy of other or opposing Pokémon. By becoming a copy of that Pokémon, the user attains their type and moves as well. However, the copied moves will only have a PP of 5. In a Double Battle, the user can become copy of any Pokémon around them. In a Triple Battle, the user can only become a copy of a Pokémon that's adjacent to them.
