If a Pokémon changes its type mid-battle and switches out, does it stay that type until it returns?

Question

For example, say I have a Kecleon, it gets hit with a Fighting-type move and miraculously survives. If I switch it out of battle and then later bring it back out, will it remain a Fighting-type Pokémon upon switching in or will it go back to its default Normal type?

Answer 1

it would go back to a normal type.

I'm crying a little bit inside for lanturn, from my mono electric team. It's a scarfed soak set to cripple ground types and hit them super effective afterwards (with another pokemon). I never thought they could just switch out ;_;
