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.

In-game, if a wild Pokémon uses Transform and is subsequently caught, it will become a {{p|Ditto}}, regardless of what species it originally was. It will then have all the stats and moves of a Ditto, except for its current HP, which will remain unaltered by this change.

Transform will now fail if used on an opponent who has already transformed or if they are in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Wild Pokémon are now treated as their original species upon capture after transforming, rather than being treated as Ditto like in Generation I.

The user will transform into [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon and maintain the form regardless of whether it holds the required [[Mega Stone]]. This has no effect on the restriction that only allows each player one Mega Evolution per battle.
In [[Generation V]], using Transform while holding a Choice item (the [[Choice Band]], [[Choice Scarf]], or [[Choice Specs]]) on a target that also knows Transform will force the user to continue using Transform.


A transformed Pokémon can use [[Z-Move]]s exclusive to a species it has transformed into, if it holds an appropriate [[Z-Crystal]]. If the user has transformed into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon, it cannot use any Z-Moves, even if it holds an appropriate Z-Crystal.
The user will transform into [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon and maintain the form regardless of whether it holds the required [[Mega Stone]]. This has no effect on the restriction that only allows each player one Mega Evolution per battle. Also, a Pokémon that transforms into a species that has a Mega Evolution (but is not yet Mega Evolved) will be unable to Mega Evolve, even if the transformed Pokémon holds the corresponding Mega Stone.
 
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. A transformed Pokémon can use [[Z-Move]]s exclusive to a species it has transformed into and if it holds an appropriate [[Z-Crystal]] (excluding {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{p|Necrozma}}). If the user has transformed into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon, it cannot use any Z-Moves, even if it holds an appropriate Z-Crystal.

If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Normalium Z}} into Z-Transform, the user's HP is fully restored.
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Transform, the user's HP is fully restored.


If the user transforms into a Pokémon that has no type (i.e. it was a pure {{t|Fire}} type that used {{m|Burn Up}}), the user will become {{type|Normal}}; if such a target has additionally been affected by {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}, the user will become Normal-type with an added {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Ghost}} type respectively. If the user transforms into a dual-typed Pokémon that has used Burn Up, however, Transform will copy the target's current types (and type additions) as usual.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], if the user transforms into the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, it will also copy any [[clothing|clothes]] they have on them.

Transform causes the user to take only the form of a random hostile Pokémon on the dungeon's floor. It does not copy that Pokémon's moves, type combination, Abilities or stats. It has only 1 PP, leaving the user only the basic attack and {{m|Struggle}} left to use (unless the user knows moves other than Transform).
Prior to [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Transform caused the user to take only the form of a random hostile Pokémon on the dungeon's floor. It does not copy that Pokémon's moves, type combination, Abilities or stats. It has only 1 PP, leaving the user only the basic attack and {{m|Struggle}} left to use (unless the user knows moves other than Transform).
 
In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Transform copies the appearance, type, and moves of the target. If used by an enemy to transform into the leader, the leader's teammates would become confused.

In a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} or [[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. The effects of Transform expire at the end of the battle.
Transform will not cast if the opponent is a Ditto.
