Ditto (メタモン Metamon in Japanese, Ditto in German and Metamorphe in French) is a fictional being in the Pokémon franchise, known as the resident shape-shifter in the Pokemon world.
Ditto, in terms of Pokémon battle, is purely a novelty, basically serving as an opportunity to have a Pokémon identical to the opponent (except for HP).
Because of Ditto's ability to breed with almost any Pokémon, and also the fact that a Pokémon with a shiny parent of the opposite gender (or a shiny Ditto parent) has a 1 in 64 chance of being shiny in Gold, Silver and Crystal, shiny Dittos can be quite useful for breeding other shiny Pokémon.
