The Pokémon Ditto has the ability to transform into the opponent's Pokémon via the move Transform, a move that only it and Mew are capable of learning. However, unlike Mew (which can't breed), it is also capable of breeding with any Pokémon that can breed, a trait which has made it very valuable to many players. Its number is #132 in National Pokédex order. When not in the shape of another Pokémon (or live being, or inanimate object as the Pokémon Anime shows it can do), Ditto takes the form of an amorphous pink blob. Although its only move in unmodified form is Transform (without cheating), Ditto can use moves of any of the other Pokémon species once it has transformed.

Name Origin

"Ditto" is a slang word related to the Latin "dictum." Its use implies copying or reiterating an idea. Its Japanese name is Metamon, probably related to the word "metamorphose." Its English name might also come from the word ditto, meaning "I agree".


Blue Ditto

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 Ditto can be quite useful for breeding other shiny Pokémon. In the Game Boy video games Pokémon Gold and Silver, players must become Pokémon Trainers by exploring Johto, collecting the eight regional gym badges, and capturing Pokémon. ... In the Game Boy video games Pokémon Gold and Silver, players must become Pokémon Trainers by exploring Johto, collecting the eight regional gym badges, and capturing Pokémon. ... Pokémon Crystal is the third game in the Pokémon video game series incarnation for the Nintendo Game Boy Color. ...


However, because the baby will always be in the evolutionary line of the non-Ditto Pokémon, shiny Ditto cannot be bred, so one would normally have to resort to finding one in the wild. However, because of a glitch in the programming of Red, Blue, and Yellow often referred to as the "Blue Ditto glitch", it is possible to generate a shiny Ditto without much effort. The glitch is as follows: Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue were the first Pokémon games released for the Game Boy in the United States. ... Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue were the first Pokémon games released for the Game Boy in the United States. ... Screenshot of Pokémon Yellow. ...

  1. Take the shiny Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage (any shiny Pokémon that can learn Mimic and can be traded to Red/Blue/Yellow will work, but Gyarados is the only one you're guaranteed to see), and trade it to Red, Blue or Yellow. Teach it Mimic using the TM.
  2. Trade it back to Gold/Silver/Crystal and delete all moves except Mimic using the Move Deleter in Blackthorn City. Trade back to Red/Blue/Yellow.
  3. Battle a Ditto, and use Mimic on Transform before it attacks. Use Transform again (so that it's used Transform twice), and catch it.

Gyarados is the evolved form of a Pokémon game character known as Magikarp. ...

In the anime

Ditto is a Pokémon used by the trainer Duplica, a Pokémon entertainer. Her first Ditto originally did incomplete transformations (it could not copy a Pokémon's face), but because of Team Rocket, it learned to transform perfectly. Duplica's second Ditto, nicknamed Mini-Dit, can transform into small Pokémon normally, but transforms into miniature versions of larger Pokémon. However, its attack power was unaffected. Team Rocket (ロケット団 Roketto Dan in Japanese) is an evil organization in the fictional world of Pokémon which exploits Pokémon for profit. ...


Ditto is also a team member of the former Orange League champion and Pummelo Gym Leader Drake.


In the latest Pokemon generation, a Ditto is used by Team Magma member Bannai. Team Magma are a group of thieves from the new series of Pokemon Advanced. ...


Glitches

For some reason, Ditto seems to have connections in the Red and Blue versions to the glitch Pokémon Missingno. and 'M. After an 'M is caught in the game during a battle, there will be an invisible Pokémon that will still be battling your Pokémon. When that is caught, the screen will say "you caught Ditto". (It might be another 'M.) Once it is caught it won't be invisible anymore. If a player-controlled Ditto uses Transform to change into the invisible Ditto, its image will turn into a Missingno's image, but it will actually still be a Ditto. Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue were the first Pokémon games released for the Game Boy in the United States. ... Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue were the first Pokémon games released for the Game Boy in the United States. ... Missingno. ... The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. ...


Also, in Pokémon Stadium 2, any Missingno or 'M that are uploaded to the game will get turned into Dittos. A Missingno that becomes Ditto will be a normal shade of pink but an 'M that becomes Ditto will have a slightly different color. Pokémon Stadium is the Nintendo 64 incarnation of the Pokémon video game series. ...


A famous glitch in Pokémon Gold and Silver can be used to Transform a Ditto into a Smeargle, allowing it to use Sketch to permanently replace Transform with almost any other attack. In the Game Boy video games Pokémon Gold and Silver, players must become Pokémon Trainers by exploring Johto, collecting the eight regional gym badges, and capturing Pokémon. ... Smeargle (Japanese: Doble (ドーブル Dōburu), German: Farbeagle, French: Queulorior), is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. ...


In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Ditto makes an official appearance of sorts in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In the VS Tournament mode (either winner out or loser out) you can scroll through characters before starting your next battle. But, by pressing L and R, you change your character to "Random" which is represented by a Ditto (as if it transforms into whatever character you end up using). It can appear in Pokéballs using a cheat for debug mode, but was taken out of the final due to the GameCube's limitations. Super Smash Bros. ... In the fictional world of the Pokémon video games and anime television series, a Poké Ball (known as Monster Ball in Japan) is a spherical device used by Pokémon Trainers to capture new Pokémon and store them when they are not in use. ... The Nintendo GameCube (Japanese: ゲームキューブ; originally code-named Dolphin during development; abbreviated as GCN) is Nintendos fourth home video game console, belonging to the 128-bit era; the same generation as Segas Dreamcast, Sonys PlayStation 2, and Microsofts Xbox. ...
