In the trivia it said that Ditto and Clamperl are the only two Pokemon that have specific Items associated with them. However, there are more items listed here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Stat-enhancing_item. Does the trivia need to be corrected?[[User:Sumwun|Sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 13:53, 7 July 2015 (UTC) | In the trivia it said that Ditto and Clamperl are the only two Pokemon that have specific Items associated with them.

== Catch Rate of Transformed Ditto in Generation II? == | |||
In the "Trivia" section, it states that: | |||
<code>Prior to Generation V, if Ditto transforms into another Pokémon, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon.</code> | |||
I have no hard scientific evidence to contradict this, but personal anecdotal evidence suggests that this may not be true (at least in Pokémon Crystal). I tried catching probably two dozen wild level 10 Dittos on Route 34 that I allowed to transform into an untrained level 10 Magikarp before putting them to sleep and reducing their HP to 1 with False Swipe. According to [http://www.dragonflycave.com/gen2capturecalc.aspx Cave of the Dragonflies' catch rate calculator], a sleeping level 10 Magikarp with 1 HP should have a 100% chance of capture with a standard Poké Ball. My understanding is that, if the above quote from the Trivia section is accurate, the transformed Dittos should also have a 100% chance of capture. And yet I repeatedly had to use multiple Poké–, Great– and Ultra Balls in order to catch the transformed Dittos. | |||
So, is the Trivia section in error? Is the catch rate calculator I used incorrect? Or have I misunderstood something? --[[User:Shadowox8|shadowox8]] ([[User talk:Shadowox8|talk]]) 02:26, 11 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
