Talk:Ditto (Pokémon)
I'm pretty sure Ditto's in the No Egg group. While it can breed with any Pokémon besides those in the No Egg group, it cannot breed with another Ditto, implying that it is, itself, in the No Egg group. -Ketsuban
Ditto is in a special egg group called "DITTO" (you know how the game likes to use all-caps for Pokemon names). This group allows it to breed with anything other than a Pokemon in the "No EGGs" group or the "DITTO" group. This is what allows Ditto to breed with Pikachu or Staryu, but Suicune can't breed with other Pokemon. --Meowth346
I thought you could breed two Ditto and get another Ditto. surskitty 23:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Nope. Stupidly. ~Ketz
Ditto is able to breed with other Pokémon ostensibly because of its ability to transform into other Pokémon. If it was paired with another Ditto, it wouldn't have anything to transform into, and since Ditto are genderless, would therefore have no reproductive organs.
Makes perfect sense to me that two purplish-pink blobs can't mate with each other. --17:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)Ozzie
Does that mean that Ditto can breed with Lucario?Optimus35 03:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Anything but legendaries means anything but legendaries. Lucario isn't legendary. Therefore, of course. TTEchidna 04:57, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Er Thanks...Optimus35 08:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
didnt in in the II gen games if you put Ditto in the day care by itself turn into two dittos (most likely because it duplicated like a cell)--Kittenchild 02:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
So I can't have a Lvl.1 Ditto? TESHIGIGAS 18:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
In the same note of discussion, how was the Steps to Hatch a Ditto Egg reached? Hack?
- The data's in there for all Pokémon just in case you somehow (usually hacking) manage to make an egg of it. TTEchidna

Hmmm.....
Ditto in the Anime could morph into any other pokemonn but keeps it size in some cases , but in the TCG it keeps its beaded eyes , that just makes wonder , can the Pokémon that ditto morphs to in the TCG be exceptions or special forms?--Nobody777 12:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think so...D: Not sure... *is currently in Science-ICT class at school* Takoto タコト| サソデイ = 愛 12:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
i think the info above should be mentioned in the trivia about the beaded eyes. to be honest nintendo shoud confirm this--Nobody777 13:25, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Trivia
Though worthless to do, can't u breed 2 Dittos and get another Ditto?--KukiTalk 15:23, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- No. You cannot breed a Ditto with a Ditto. ~$aturn¥oshi THE VOICES 17:53, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Really... interesting--KukiTalk 18:09, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
It's confusing, but it makes vague sense since Ditto has no gender. Remember, non-gendered Pokémon can't be bred, even with Ditto...it's "Unknown"-gendered Pokémon (Magnemite etc.) that can. Ditto has a unique egg type as well, we assume it breeds with everything except itself and None. LordArceus 00:07, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Learn every move
Can't ditto learn every move with its move transform?ryan 00:10, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- But since it doesn't keep the move permanently, it doesn't go under the Learnset section. - s.Combusken 00:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Ok i was just wonderingryan 14:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Color
Sould it be noted that, in all sprites exept Gen. 3 Ditto's color is purple, but in its Gen. 3 sprite it's pink ? ryan 15:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
no cos to me it looks pink all time and in Yellow it Yellowy-green.GoldsWigglytuff 10:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Buggy Moves
In my Pokemon Diamond game, I was using Ditto to catch Pokemon. After using transform on and catching a Primape, combat ended with Ditto still looking like Primape (duh). After that I got into another wild battle and Ditto was Ditto again, but with Primape's moveset. I am making an assumption that you can potentially make Ditto a permanent clone move-wise this way, anyone want to experiment? Crenel 21:07, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
never happed to me and my ditto, if was a bug in your game then you are lucky. and what do mean experiment? I can experiment.GoldsWigglytuff
- Wha? I've heard of this happening... was this a Japanese game or the international release? TTEchidna 23:57, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
if a shiny ditto Transforms will it Transform in a shiny whatever
if it don,t then saud be in the page GoldsWigglytuff
cool, when did it solpGoldsWigglytuff 10:40, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- Gen IV is the first game where it becomes, shiny or not, whatever it turned into. TTEchidna 19:30, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Title
The Transform Paradox: I changed the title because this example is not actually a paradox. A paradox is an extended contradiction, this is not. - unsigned comment from Manowardogsofwar (talk • contribs)
- True, yes, however, a paradox is also an infinite time loop that self-contradicts. The contradiction here comes in the never-lowering PP of Transform for both Pokémon, remaining locked at 5. TTEchidna 19:29, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
There is no contradiction in this at all. Both using Transform is nothing more than a deadlock. An infinite time loop the self-contradicts would be going back in time to kill your grandfather and succeeding.
Shiny Ditto Glitch
What the F...lareon happened to the glitch to get a shiny ditto in G/S using R/B, if no one knows what I'm talking about here's how (altough it's old and I think you all know):
1 Capture the shiny Gyarados in G/S and ransfer it to R/B 2 Teach Gyarados Mimic and erase all his other moves 3 Battle a wild Ditto with the Gyarados, mimic him and transform a few turns while it transforms 4 Capture the Ditto and transfer it to G/S it will be shiny
Notes: I'm not sure if it's a requirement but all of the times I used the Pokémon Stadium 2 (For both transfer and Doduo GB).
Using this I got myself a shiny Charmander (By breeding with the shiny Ditto), sorry I don't have a video or anything but try it out, I didn't directly affect the article but I'll edit it if no one answers this in 10 days. --Sword zero001 06:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- The egg's a glitch, that's how breeding worked in Generation II. See the last part of the trivia. You just got lucky because of you got a shiny Charmander. And I think the shiny Ditto trick is also mentioned somewhere. UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 23:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
