Ditto (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Ditto is capable of {{m|transform}}ing into an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|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 {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|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]].
