'''Transform''' (Japanese: '''へんしん''' ''Transform'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. | |||

Transform changes the user's | Transform causes the user to become a copy of the target. | ||
Transform bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. It is not affected by [[type]] immunity. Transform fails if used on a Pokémon that is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}, but works on a target [[protection|protected]] by other moves such as {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}. It also fails against [[Shadow Pokémon]], if the user or the target are transformed or disguised by an {{a|Illusion}}, if the target is behind a {{m|substitute}}, or if the target's [[Ability]] is {{a|Good as Gold}}. Some of these conditions were different in older generations; see the table below for details on when conditions would not prevent Transform from executing. | |||

====Copied traits==== | |||
Broadly, Transform copies the target's appearance, types, [[Ability]], [[stat]]s, and [[move]]s; the user retains its {{stat|HP}} and [[level]]. More precise details are below. | |||

<small>*: In [[Generation II]], the [[Love Ball]] uses copied IVs for transformed wild Pokémon. [[#Generation II|See below]]</small> | |||
Transform copies any changes to the target's type (such as from {{m|Conversion}} or {{a|Color Change}}), Ability (such as from {{m|Skill Swap}}), or moves (via {{m|Mimic}}). It also copies types added by {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}. If the target has no primary types (not counting added types, that is) due to {{m|Roost}}, {{m|Burn Up}}, or {{m|Double Shock}}, the transformation's primary type will be {{t|Normal}}. | |||
The user's level has no effect, except in Generations {{gen|I}}-{{gen|III}} if the Pokémon levels up and its stats are recalculated. Appearance refers to the sprite or model of the Pokémon shown on the field and covers the Pokémon's species, [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender]], [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]], and whether it is {{Shiny}}. (Prior to [[Generation IV]], there was some complicated [[#Appearance nuances|nuance]] regarding the transformation's coloration.) The copied stats (Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed) include the final values (as seen on the [[summary]] screen) as well as the target's [[base stats]], [[individual values]], and [[effort values]]. Outside of the transformation's appearance, gender (for the purpose of battle mechanics as well as the gender symbol after the name) was only copied starting in [[Generation V]], with [[#Generation II|a small exception]] in [[Generation II]]. | |||
Transform does not affect the user's {{m|Hidden Power}} (whose [[type]], as well as the [[power]] up to Generation V, are based on the user's original IVs). It also will not alter [[status condition]]s or volatile statuses (such as {{m|Telekinesis}} or {{m|Leech Seed}}) based on the transformation's immunities. | |||
===Appearance nuances=== | |||
In all generations, in the summary and [[party]] screens, a transformed Pokémon is shown in its untransformed state. (This applies to its moves, Ability, and stats as well.) In [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] games, the list of moves seen on the bottom screen during battle will also show the untransformed sprite of the Pokémon. | |||
In Generation I, if either the user or the target's sprite has changed because of {{m|Acid Armor}} or {{m|Minimize}}, after using Transform, the transformation's normal sprite will be shown. | |||
In the Generation I and II [[core series]] games, a transformed Pokémon [[Color palette (Generations I–II)#Transform color palettes|retains its original color palette]]. | |||
In {{g|Stadium 2}} and Generation III games (including {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}), whether a transformed Pokémon appears Shiny depends on whether the user was originally Shiny; since Generation IV, it depends on whether the target was Shiny. | |||
In {{LGPE}}, if the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}} is the target of Transform, Transform will copy any [[clothing|clothes]] they are wearing. | |||
===Forms=== | |||
{{MoveResearch|Gen III: Interaction with Deoxys's forms in link battles between games in which Deoxys has different forms}} | |||
Transform copies the target's current form. In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, a transformed Pokémon can change form if it fulfills the conditions for a form change (such as by [[held item|holding]] a [[Plate]] as {{p|Arceus}}). Since [[Generation V]], a transformed Pokémon cannot change forms. | |||
[[Dynamax]] transformations are not treated like a form, meaning Transform will copy the base form of a Dynamax or [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon or [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}, and a transformed Pokémon is able to Dynamax. If Transform copies a Gigantamax Pokémon, it does not copy the Gigantamax Factor, so Dynamaxing will not result in a Gigantamax Pokémon. If Transform is used by a Dynamaxed Pokémon, it will fail if the target is {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, or Eternatus. | |||
Transform will fail if the target is a [[Starmobile]]. If the target is a [[Titan Pokémon]], the user transforms into a regular version of that species. | |||
===PP=== | |||
{{MoveResearch|Are PP Ups taken into account for maximum PP displayed for a transformed Pokémon in Generation I and II?}} | |||
When a move is copied, it will have 5 {{PP}}, unless its maximum PP is less (such as {{m|Sketch}}). In Generations I and II, the maximum PP is the same as the move's natural maximum PP; in Generations III and IV, each copied move receives the effect of [[PP Up]]s applied to the same move slot of the user's original moves; since Generation V, the maximum PP for copied moves is 5. | |||
In Generations I-III, {{cat|PP-restoring items}} such as [[Ether]] can only restore PP to a move if the Pokémon knew the move before transforming. For a held [[Leppa Berry]], if a move the Pokémon did not know reaches 0 PP, the Berry will not trigger. | |||
===Species-exclusive conditions=== | |||
{{MoveResearch|For Gen VI: Interaction with choice items on targets who also know Transform aside from Generation V}} | |||
A transformed Pokémon retains its original species for determining if it is boosted by most Pokémon-specific [[stat-enhancing item]]s. Only [[Metal Powder]] and [[Quick Powder]] use the transformation's species. | |||
A transformed Pokémon can use moves exclusive to a species it has transformed into, such as {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} if transformed into {{p|Hoopa}} Unbound or [[Z-Move#For specific Pokémon|exclusive Z-Moves]] (if it holds the correct Z-Crystal, and [[#Generation VII|is not Mega-Evolved]]). | |||
If a Pokémon transforms into Meteor Form {{p|Minior}}, {{a|Shields Down}} will not prevent it from being afflicted with status conditions. | |||
===Generation I=== | |||
In this generation only, if the player's Pokémon is transformed and deals or receives a [[critical hit]], its untransformed stats are used in the damage calculation. (The calculation correctly uses transformed stats for wild and NPC Pokémon.) | |||
In | In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} only, Transform fails if the target's current species is {{p|Ditto}}. Transforms works normally against Ditto in the earlier Japan-only game {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}. | ||
====Glitches==== | |||
{{main|List of Transform glitches}} | |||
Generation I has several glitches relating to Transform. Any transformed wild Pokémon will become Ditto if it is caught, due to the {{DL|List of Transform glitches|Transform assumption glitch}}. If a transformed Pokémon uses Transform again, its previous stats (stored as a backup) are overwritten by its current stats (as they are backed up so that Transform can change the working stats); this is the {{DL|List of Transform glitches|Transform DV manipulation glitch}}. If a Pokémon that is not {{p|Ditto}} uses Transform, the {{DL|List of Transform glitches|color loss glitch}} will cause it to change to Ditto's palette. The {{DL|List of Transform glitches|level up moveset glitch}} causes a transformed Pokémon to regain its original moveset if it levels up and learns a new move. | |||
===Generation II=== | ===Generation II=== | ||
In this generation only, for a wild transformed Pokémon, the [[Love Ball]] uses the stats copied by Transform and the Pokémon's original species to [[Gender#Generation II|determine]] the Pokémon's gender<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/6805c678eecddb38c6f546a119c8838c367e408e/engine/items/item_effects.asm#L950 GS Love Ball mismatched species for transformed Pokémon bug in pret decompilation on GitHub]</ref>. Both {{m|Attract}} and the gender symbol shown in battle obey the Pokémon's original gender (for any transformed Pokémon). | |||
In this generation only, {{m|Mirror Move}} always fails when used by a transformed Pokémon. | |||
Transform | ====Glitches==== | ||
{{main|List of Transform glitches}} | |||
Generation II has several glitches relating to Transform. The {{DL|List of Transform glitches|Transform assumption glitch}} and {{DL|List of Transform glitches|Transform DV manipulation glitch}} from Generation I still exist. The latter now has an additional effect, the {{DL|List of Transform glitches|Roar/Whirlwind shared DV glitch}}: in a battle with an NPC, if the NPC's Pokémon has used Transform twice and is forced to switch out, the next Pokémon will have its predecessor's DVs. If a transformed Pokémon is caught, it will have 10/10 PP for Transform despite having used the move. | |||
===Generation III=== | ===Generation III=== | ||
During a [[Pokémon Contest]], the Pokémon will transform into one of the other contestants. | |||
===Generation IV=== | ===Generation IV=== | ||
Transform | During a [[Pokémon Super Contest]], the Pokémon will transform into one of the other contestants. | ||
===Generation V=== | |||
Pokémon that know Transform are banned from participating in [[Pokéstar Studios]] films. For the purposes of the [[Eviolite]], the original form of the user is considered, rather than the Pokémon it Transformed into. | |||
===Generation VI=== | |||
In a Pokémon Contest Spectacular, when Transform is used, a {{m|Substitute}} doll is thrown on the stage and the user transforms into the doll. The effect of Transform will last for the round it is used in. | |||
===Generation VII=== | |||
If a Pokémon transforms into a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon, it cannot use any [[Z-Move]]s, even if it holds an appropriate [[Z-Crystal]]. | |||
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Transform, the user's HP is fully restored. | |||
{{ | ===Generation IX=== | ||
Transform does not copy Tera Types, meaning that a transformed Pokémon that {{Tera}}stallizes will use its own Tera Type. If a Terastallized Pokémon uses Transform, the move will not change its type. | |||
Transform fails against a Terastallized {{p|Ogerpon}} or {{p|Terapagos}}. If a Pokémon Transforms into Ogerpon or Terapagos, it will be unable to Terastallize. | |||
Transform | Starting with Version 3.0.1 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Transform cannot be used by wild {{p|Smeargle}}, this was done to address a cloning glitch. | ||

In {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, and the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, Transform causes the user to take the form of a random hostile Pokémon on the dungeon's floor. It does not copy anything else; if the Pokémon had nothing but Transform, they are left only with the regular attack and {{m|Struggle}}. | |||
From {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}} onward, Transform copies the appearance, type, Ability, moves, and stat modifications of the target for the current floor, but the transforming Pokémon retains its stats. Moves learned through {{m|Sketch}} while transformed will be forgotten after moving to the next floor. If used by an enemy to transform into the leader, the leader's teammates become confused. | |||
Transformed Pokémon are still prone to [[status conditions]] and [[dungeon tile]] restrictions from its original form; for example, a {{p|Ditto}} transformed into a {{type|Fire}} can still be [[burn]]ed, and a Pokémon that cannot walk through water still cannot when transforming into a Pokémon that is able to. | |||
Transform cannot be used in a {{OBP|Pokémon Tower|Mystery Dungeon}} in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series. | |||

In | ==={{g|GO}}=== | ||
In a {{GO|Gym}} or {{GO|Raid Battle}}, Transform is automatically cast at the beginning of the battle. It turns the user into a copy of the opponent and copies the opponent's [[move]]s, species, base Attack, and base Defense; HP, {{IV}}s, and [[Power Up]] level are not copied. Unlike other attacks, Transform does not require the user to wait out the duration before casting an attack or dodging, and its animation is purely visual. However, it may cause lag for the rest of the battle if the player attempts to attack during the animation. The effects of Transform expire at the end of the battle. | |||
Transform will not be cast if the opponent is a Ditto. | |||
If Ditto is used against a [[Team GO Rocket Grunt (Trainer class)|Team GO Rocket Grunt]] or another player, Transform will behave like regular attacks and not transform Ditto into opposing Pokémon. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* In Generation I core series games and {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, if two Pokémon battle using only Transform (such as a battle between two {{p|Ditto}} or two {{p|Mew}} with Transform), both Pokémon are able to continually Transform into each other, replenishing the 5 PP constantly and so that the battle never has to end. | |||
* Since the Transform user retains its own gender, it is possible to transform into a Pokémon species which would be normally unavailable with that gender. For instance, a male {{p|Smeargle}} retains his gender (including the symbol ♂ displayed in battle), even when transformed into [[:Category:Female-only Pokémon|female-only Pokémon]] such as {{p|Miltank}}, {{p|Chansey}}, or {{p|Tsareena}}, or into [[:Category:Gender-unknown Pokémon|gender-unknown Pokémon]] such as {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Beldum}}, or {{p|Cryogonal}}. | |||
** The Transform user copies the appearance and visual gender differences of the target, even if those are not compatible with the Transform user's gender. For instance, if a male Smeargle copies a female {{p|Pikachu}}, then he will have the appearance of a female Pikachu as well (with the heart-shaped tail) even though he remains male like before (with the ♂ symbol in battle). | |||
* Transform is the only way to see the battle animation of {{p|Cherrim}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Sunshine Form]] in [[Generation IV]], as Cherrim sent from a Poké Ball will always be sent out in Overcast Form, and Cherrim is not available in the wild in Generation IV. A Ditto that transforms into Cherrim, however, will play the animation of the alternate form if it escapes from a thrown Poké Ball. | |||
* In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, since most Pokémon can use Transform via {{m|Mimic}} and keep their original [[Color palette (Generations I–II)|color palette]] while transformed, it is possible to see several color palettes applied to any Pokémon. For example, if a {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, or {{p|Charmeleon}} uses Transform (via Mimic), it becomes a yellow, green, or red version of the target, respectively. | |||
** In these generations, the Pokémon images and their color palettes are stored separately in the game data, so the palettes are able to be arbitrarily applied to each Pokémon. There is no need to store repeated Pokémon images with different colors in the internal data. | |||
* From [[Generation III]] to {{gen|V}}, a transformed Pokémon may legitimately have up to 765 [[effort values|EVs]] (if it has 255 HP EVs, and the target Pokémon has 510 EVs other than HP). Similarly, from [[Generation VI]] onwards, a transformed Pokémon may legitimately have up to 762 EVs (if it has 252 HP EVs, and the target Pokémon has 510 EVs other than HP). | |||
* In the German version of the [[Generation II]] games, this move was renamed from ''Wandler'' into ''Verwandler''. The reason for this is unknown. Even though the difference in meaning is minimal, this change was retracted in the following generations. | * In the German version of the [[Generation II]] games, this move was renamed from ''Wandler'' into ''Verwandler''.

* | * In some Pokémon media, Ditto is known to transform into humans. This happened in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as well as in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 2|volume 2]] of [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]], and in {{DetPikMov}}. | ||
