English Oracle text
As this creature enters, choose a creature type.
This creature is the chosen type in addition to its other types.
Each other creature you control of the chosen type enters with an additional +1/+1 counter on it.
2 / 1
Mentre questa creatura entra, scegli un tipo di creatura. Questa creatura è del tipo scelto in aggiunta ai suoi altri tipi. Ogni altra creatura che controlli del tipo scelto entra con un segnalino +1/+1 addizionale.
You must choose an existing creature type. "Artifact" and "Vehicle" aren't creature types.
Even though Metallic Mimic is a Shapeshifter, other Shapeshifter creatures you control won't get a +1/+1 counter unless you chose Shapeshifter as Metallic Mimic entered the battlefield. If you do, that creature must be entering the battlefield as a Shapeshifter to get a +1/+1 counter. It won't get a +1/+1 counter if it enters the battlefield as a copy of a non-Shapeshifter creature.
The choice of creature type is made as Metallic Mimic enters the battlefield. Players can't respond to this choice. Metallic Mimic's second ability starts applying immediately.
Creatures of the chosen type that enter the battlefield at the same time as Metallic Mimic won't enter with an additional +1/+1 counter.
