Bulbapedia seems to be wrong. Here are the moves that can't be called by Sleep Talk:

• Gen 2: Sleep Talk and two-turn moves.
• Gen 3: Sleep Talk, Assist, Mirror Move, Metronome, Focus Punch, Uproar, and two-turn moves.
• Gen 4: moves that call other moves, Focus Punch, Uproar, Chatter, and two-turn moves.

Hm alright. I may still try and test this out on cartridge just to be sure.

Thanks for the response.

Yep, you were right. Sleep talk definitely selects mimic. I'll try and update that on Bulbapedia.
