'''Ditto''' (Japanese: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type|Normal}}-[[Types|type]] [[Pokémon (species)|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 PP), types, and the appearance of the opponent. Another reason that they are unique is that Ditto can [[Breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon in a [[Pokémon Day Care|Day Care Center]] regardless of its gender, except other Ditto and legendaries with the exception of Manaphy.

Trivia

  • In Generation IV, it's possible for Ditto to learn copied moves permanently by transforming into a Pokémon which knows Sketch, such as Smeargle.
  • A battle between two Ditto would never end, because the only move they know is Transform. The reason that this occurs is when one Ditto uses Transform, it will restore the PP on its own move, thus allowing it to Transform into the other Ditto forever. This is possibly the reason why no Trainers in any main series game have a Ditto in their party, in case the player has one.
  • Ditto's cry is known to be the same as Poliwag's in the game series.
  • Ditto is one of the few Pokémon whose name is an actual word, along with Gloom, Golem and Persian, among others.
    • Ditto's dictionary definition is "to duplicate".
    • In Pokémon Red, Ditto is found in the Pokémon Mansion, which is the lab where Mewtwo experimentation was being done.
