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 game, 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.

Transform does not copy the target's [[status condition]]s, level, current or maximum {{stat|HP}}, base experience, palette colors or the generic minimize image. If a transformed Pokémon takes damage from a [[critical hit]], its original stats will be used rather than its stats after Transform. The probability of a transformed Pokémon scoring a critical hit is based on the original Pokémon's base Speed, not the base Speed of the Pokémon it transformed into.

Transform bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, even during the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

==Oddities==
Because Transform takes on the exact form of the Pokémon transformed into, strange things can occur when a Pokémon uses the move to become another. Specifically, Pokémon with multiple forms cause the transforming Pokémon to behave oddly.
===Transform loop===
In [[Generation I]] if Ditto (or another Pokémon with only Transform) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 {{PP}} each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike {{p|Pyukumuku}}, {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} in later generations who, although they too have no directly damaging moves, will eventually run out of PP and thus be able to use Struggle. This is likely why few Trainers have Ditto in the Generation I games.
This issue is not present in any other games because of a change in Transform mechanics: from Generation II onwards, it is not possible to Transform into a Pokémon that is the Transformation of another Pokémon.
