Official card text

How it works : Metallic Mimic
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.

No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
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.
