Transform causes the user to become a copy of the target. The transformed user returns to its original state once it is [[recall|switched out]], [[fainting|faints]], or the current battle ends. | |||
{{a|Imposter}} ({{p|Ditto}}'s [[signature Ability]]) automatically causes the user to transform into the opponent. Transform works even if the target is immune to this move's [[type]]. Transform fails if used on a Pokémon that is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}. | |||
Transform changes the user's current [[Pokémon (species)|species]], [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]], [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], [[type]], [[stats]] (including [[base stats]], [[individual values]], and [[effort values]]; except the current and maximum [[HP]] are not copied), stat modifications, [[move]]s, [[Ability]], [[height]], and [[weight]] to that of the target's. From [[Generation III]] to {{gen|IV}}, Transform also copies the [[catch rate]]. From [[Generation III]] onwards, Transform also copies the base [[experience]] and the [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV yield]] of the target. From [[Generation IV]] onwards, Transform also copies the target's [[cry]]. | Transform changes the user's current [[Pokémon (species)|species]], [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]], [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], [[type]], [[stats]] (including [[base stats]], [[individual values]], and [[effort values]]; except the current and maximum [[HP]] are not copied), stat modifications, [[move]]s, [[Ability]], [[height]], and [[weight]] to that of the target's.

The user's original moves and Ability will be unusable as long as it is transformed, being replaced by those copied from the target. All moves copied by Transform will initially have 5 remaining [[PP]], except any moves whose maximum PP is fewer than 5 (i.e. {{m|Sketch}}) will simply have their full PP. 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. | The user's original moves and Ability will be unusable as long as it is transformed, being replaced by those copied from the target.

In the [[summary]] and [[party]] screens, the transformed user is shown in its original state (including its species, moves, Ability, and stats unaffected by Transform). In battle, the bottom screen of the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] will still show the sprite of the Pokémon unaffected by the transformation as well, even though the moves will be those copied from the target. | |||

* In Generations II to IV (including [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}), Transform fails if used on a transformed opponent. Therefore, in a battle between two Transform users, the first Pokémon may use Transform indefinitely and replenish its PP with every use, but the second Pokémon will simply fail to use Transform every time. The second Pokémon can eventually lose all PP and start using {{m|Struggle}}. | * In Generations II to IV (including [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}), Transform fails if used on a transformed opponent.

* From Generation V onwards, Transform fails if used by or on a Pokémon that is already transformed. Therefore, in a battle between two Transform users (such as two {{p|Ditto}}), the first Pokémon will be able to use Transform only once and any further Transform attempts will fail, while the second Pokémon simply will not be able to use Transform against that transformed Pokémon. | * From Generation V onwards, Transform fails if used by or on a Pokémon that is already transformed.
