[[Category:Normal-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation I Pokémon]] [[Category:Purple Pokémon]] Ditto (Japanese: メタモン Metamon) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Ditto are unique, as their only attack is Transform. They use this attack to copy the stats (except HP), moves (only 5 power points), types, and the appearance of the opponent. Another reason that they are unique is that Ditto can breed with any Pokémon in a Day Care Center regardless of its gender, except other Ditto.

Trivia

  • Ditto's cry is similar to Poliwag's.
  • Ditto makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
  • In Generation IV, it's possible, by glitch, for Ditto to learn copied moves permanently by transforming into a Pokémon which knows Rage.
  • If a Ditto battles a Ditto, they would both keep on using Transform until one of them eventually runs out of PP and uses Struggle.
  • Ditto can be only paralyzed when in the transformed mode.
  • Ditto's dictionary definition is "to duplicate".
  • Ditto is sometimes thought to be a failed attempt at cloning Mew. This is because they're both genderless, weigh 8.8 lbs., have similar base stats, and have the same normal and shiny colors.
    • In Pokemon Red, Ditto is also commonly found in the lab that Mewtwo experimentation is being done.
