→‎Generation I: excuse me, what? The grey color also appears in-game on the back sprite (bulbapedia does not have the correct back sprite image as of this edit)
(→‎Generation I: Mention the HP exception for stat copy early on rather than later in the middle of the paragraph.)

Transform changes the user's current type, current [[stats]] (except {{stat|HP}}), current stat modifications, current moves, current species, and current [[cry]] to that of the target's.

The transformed Pokémon retains its original coloration when displayed on a system that supports colors in the first place, such as the [[Super Game Boy]] or the [[Virtual Console]]. For instance, {{p|Ditto}} always transforms into a purple version of the target, except in {{game|Yellow}} where the front sprite of Ditto is gray instead, so Ditto appears as a gray version of the target when viewed from the front, but purple when viewed from the back.

Each move copied by Transform will have 5 remaining {{PP}} of the usual maximum. With this in mind, if a Ditto encounters another Ditto in this generation, both Ditto will continually Transform into each other, replenishing the 5 PP constantly and making the battle seemingly endless. {{cat|PP-restoring items}} such as [[Ether]]s used from the Bag can only restore PP to moves the Pokémon knows before transforming.
