- Normal-type moves become Ghost-Type (before applying Abilities)
- Stage boosts and drops don’t decay and persist through switching
- Grass-type Pokémon gain a second Ghost typing. If they already have a secondary typing, they become triple-typed instead. Pokémon that already possess the Ghost and Grass dual typing are unaffected

[Mimikyu's Attack stage boost should have indefinite duration because of the arena.]
where will you stake your claim to this battle, i wonder?
great. can't wait to get beaten up by the eject button replacement.
[Eject Button off] Phantom Force ~ Phantom Force ~ Phantom Force
If Team Maxim has Reflect, then Chill the first instance.
At the start of your turn on step 3, if your Speed stat is less than 96, and Raikou has more than 27 HP, then use Trick Room.
At the start of the step, if Raikou is to use a Paralysis-inflicting move, Raikou has more than 27 HP, and Raikou is not to use a Paralysis-inflicting move on another step this round, then use Protect.
If Raikou does not have Protection, does not have a Decoy, and does not have Evasive, then use Frustration the first instance and Return the second and third instances.
