Ditto (Japanese: メタモン Metamon) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Ditto uses the move Transform to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It can breed with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the Undiscovered group and itself, including male Pokémon and some genderless Pokémon, to produce eggs of the other's species.

Biology

Physiology

In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish free-form shape blob with vestigial facial features. It also appears to have two vestigial, handless 'arms' protruding from its body. However, it can take the form of anything, even inanimate objects.

Gender differences

Ditto is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Ditto is capable of transforming into an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with Mew), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that it can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in Pokémon Snap (in which several Ditto are transformed into Bulbasaur), and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (in which, during the Game Corner slot machine game, a Clefairy with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto cannot mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of rarer Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the starter Pokémon.

Behavior

Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

Habitat

Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion. They have been documented living in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova.

Major appearances

Duplica's Ditto

Ditto first appeared in Ditto's Mysterious Mansion. Duplica and her Ditto used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by Team Rocket.

Other

Shiny Ditto in the anime

In Hello Pummelo, Drake of the Orange Islands owns a Ditto and uses it to fight Ash's Pikachu. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before Imitation Confrontation that she named Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

Two Ditto appear in Dealing With A Fierce Double Ditto Drama!, belonging to Narissa. One of them is normal and the other is Shiny.

Minor appearances

There is a picture of Ditto on the "Coffee & Tea" sign at one of the last parts in the episode in The Misty Mermaid.

A Ditto was used by one of the students of the Pokémon Trainer's School in Gonna Rule The School!.

Ditto was also owned by a member of Team Magma named Brodie, who debuted in Unfair Weather Friends.

Other

Ditto is the feature of Professor Oak's Lecture in EP098, and again in DP154.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
EP037 Ditto Ash's Pokédex Ditto, a Transform Pokémon. It is able to rearrange the cells of its body and assume any form. Its only attack is Transform.
Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP173 Ditto Dawn's Pokédex Ditto, the Transform Pokémon. Ditto has the ability to reconstruct its entire cellular structure into whatever it sees.

In the manga

Duplica's Ditto as seen in the The Electric Tale of Pikachu

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in The Electric Tale of Pikachu. Finding Ditto appealing, Misty decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when Pikachu goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into Ash, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga

In Magical Pokémon Journey, there is a ninja master named Master Ditto who appears several times in the manga. His first appearance is in The Wal Comes Tumbling Down.

Additionally, a group of Ditto appear in the fourth bonus chapter of the manga. The Ditto use Transform to mimic Pikachu and cause mischief.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Green's Ditto, Ditty
Main article: Ditty

Ditto is one of the members on Green's team. As a master of transformation, Green uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance (like when she infiltrated the Silph Co. building disguised as Sabrina), camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Green's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by Team Rocket, to lure Crystal and Eusine away from Suicune, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's Hitmonchan, Hitmonee.

In the Pokémon Zensho manga

Ditto is also featured in Pokémon Zensho under the ownership of Satoshi.

In the TCG

Main article: Ditto (TCG)

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

A screenshot of Ditto in Melee

Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a Poké Ball. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

Trophy information

Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use Transform, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

Game data

NPC appearances

Trivia

  • Ditto is one of the few Generation I Pokémon that, as of Generation V, still have no evolutionary relatives, along with Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Tauros, Lapras, and Aerodactyl.
  • Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a catch rate of 35. However, prior to Generation V, if Ditto transforms into another Pokémon, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon.
  • Ditto and Manaphy are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally (legitimately the lowest level it is able to be is 10, in Generation II and its Generation IV remakes).
  • In Pokémon Snap, Ditto takes the form of Bulbasaur in the Cave stage. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by Duplica's Ditto in the anime, although it was understood that this was not natural. Ditto cards from the EX Delta Species TCG expansion also have this trait.
  • Ditto is one of two Pokémon to have two different species-specific items associated with it, the other being Clamperl. Ditto's two associated items, the Metal Powder and Quick Powder, seem to be the same colors as Ditto's normal and Shiny forms, respectively.
  • Ditto, along with Arceus, Giratina's Origin Forme, Sunkern, and Mew is one of the few Pokémon who can have a 5 in all of its performance stats.
  • In Pokémon Rumble, since Transform was not programmed into the game, Ditto can only know Struggle. Since PP does not exist in Rumble, this makes Ditto the only Pokémon in Rumble that can use Struggle.
  • Ditto is the most common Pokémon in Pokémon Trozei!, appearing in every area. This is due to its ability to transform, enabling the player a way to advance further if no links are available before Ditto appear.
  • Ditto shares the move Transform with Mew, along with also sharing the same color, both Shiny and not, as well as having the same weight.
  • In Weird Al Yankovic's Polkamon, Ditto is mentioned twice.
  • It has the smallest movepool of all Pokémon, learning only one move, Transform, and being unable to learn any other moves through TMs, HMs, and Pokémon breeding (as it cannot be bred). It shares this distinction with Unown and Smeargle; however unlike Unown, Ditto and Smeargle can potentially expand their movepools through the use of Transform and Sketch respectively.
    • Due to this small movepool, Ditto cannot compete in Super Contests unless it has been affected by the Rage glitch.
  • In the games, Ditto and Poliwag have the same cry.
  • 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.

Glitches

Index 000 post-capture

In Generation I, if the player manages to capture an 'M, it will still be in battle with the player, and the battle will not end. Catching 'M again results in the second one becoming a Ditto of the same level.

Ditto glitch

Main article: Mew glitch

The primary method of the Mew glitch involves having a wild Ditto transform into the player's Pokémon, as this copies the Special stat, which is used to modify the species of Pokémon encountered.

Transform assumption glitch

In Generation I and II, any Pokémon that uses Transform is regarded as a Ditto in its new form; this means that if the player catches a Mew or a glitch Pokémon which has used the move Transform, instead they will obtain a Ditto; this was not an issue, because wild Mew cannot be legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in Generation III, where a wild Mew could be encountered.

Shiny Ditto glitch

Main article: List of glitches in Generation II

By trading any Shiny Pokémon to a Generation I game, having a wild Ditto transform into that Pokémon, then catching and trading the Ditto into a Generation II game, the Ditto will be Shiny.

Transform-specific glitches

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

In the sixth issue of Best Buy's @Gamer magazine, Game Freak developers Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori revealed that Ditto was originally based off of the iconic smiley face. Its eyes and mouth are exactly like ":)", which is an emoticon representing the smiley.

Additionally, Ditto strongly resembles an amoeba, a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It also could partially be based on an undifferentiated cell, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It could also have been based on a blob or a rubber ball.

Name origin

A ditto is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. It was also a common name for copies of master documents created by mimeograph machines. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of metamorph, monster, and possibly transformation. Alternatively, it came from the prefix 'meta-' (which means 'to encompass all', which Ditto's Transform move does do to Pokémon) and the word 'monster', bringing to mind a parallel of the suffix '-mon' - standing for monster.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin
German Ditto
French Metamorph From metamorph.
Korean 메타몽 Metamong
Chinese (Mandarin) 百變怪 / 百变怪 Bǎibiànguài Literally "Hundred transformation creature".
Chinese (Cantonese) 百變怪 Baakbingwaai Same as Mandarin name.
