Transform bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, even if the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

In Generations I and II, the {{DL|Transform glitches|Transform assumption glitch}} causes any transformed wild Pokémon to become a {{p|Ditto}} when caught, regardless of what species it originally was. In Generation I only, Ditto's [[catch rate]] will be saved as well, so this Ditto will be holding a [[Metal Powder]] if transferred to a Generation II game (regardless of the original or transformed species).

Like in [[Generation I]], the {{DL|Transform glitches|Transform assumption glitch}} causes any transformed wild Pokémon to become a Ditto when caught. This wild Pokémon's [[held item]] (if any) remains unaffected by this glitch.

Transform will now fail if the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.


If a transformed wild Ditto is caught (or any other transformed wild Pokémon, which becomes a Ditto permanently when caught), it will simply have full remaining PP for Transform (10 out of 10 PP). This is a unique situation in this generation, because normally when a wild Pokémon uses any moves, their PP would be deducted. For comparison, in [[Generation I]] games, all wild Pokémon are caught with full PP regardless of any moves used. From [[Generation III]] onwards, Transform is no longer a special case concerning its PP used; if a wild Pokémon uses any move (Transform included), that move's PP is deducted as usual.
