→Generation I
(I'm moving a statement about Shiny Pokémon from Generation II to Generation III. Reason: Actually, the Pokémon retains the original palette in Generation II, much like in Generation I. (I repeatedly tested this; feel free to revert if needed)) |

Transform changes the user's current type, current [[stats]], current stat modifications, current moves, current species, and current [[cry]] to that of the target's. | Transform changes the user's current type, current [[stats]], 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. | Each move copied by Transform will have 5 remaining {{PP}} of the usual maximum.

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. | ||

If a wild Pokémon uses Transform twice and is subsequently caught, its [[Individual values|DVs]] will be the DVs of the first Pokémon it transformed into.

Like in Generation I, a transformed Pokémon retains its original palette colors. For instance, a [[Shiny]] {{p|Ditto}} always transforms into a blue version of the opponent. | |||
A transformed Pokémon retains its original species for determining if it is boosted by Pokémon-specific [[stat-enhancing item]]s, with the exception of [[Metal Powder]], which uses the target's species. | A transformed Pokémon retains its original species for determining if it is boosted by Pokémon-specific [[stat-enhancing item]]s, with the exception of [[Metal Powder]], which uses the target's species. | ||

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Transform is able to work even if the target is a Ditto (unlike the previous generation). If Transform is used by a [[Shiny Pokémon]], it will cause the Pokémon species transformed into to appear Shiny. Likewise, a normal Pokémon transforming into a Shiny target's species will appear as a normal version. | |||
