It transforms into whatever it sees. If the thing it’s transforming into isn’t right in front of it, Ditto relies on its memory—so sometimes it fails.
Ultra Moon
While it can transform into anything, each Ditto apparently has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to transformations.
Ultra Sun
With its astonishing capacity for metamorphosis, it can get along with anything. It does not get along well with its fellow Ditto.
Moon
It can reorganize its cells to make itself into a duplicate of anything it sees. The quality of the duplicate depends on the individual.
Sun
It can reconstitute its entire cellular structure to change into what it sees, but it returns to normal when it relaxes.
Black 2 · White 2 · Sword
It has the ability to reconstitute its entire cellular structure to transform into whatever it sees.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · X
Capable of copying an opponent’s genetic code to instantly transform itself into a duplicate of the enemy.
LeafGreen
It can freely recombine its own cellular structure to transform into other life- forms.
FireRed · Y
A DITTO rearranges its cell structure to transform itself. However, if it tries to change based on its memory, it will get details wrong.
Emerald
DITTO rearranges its cell structure to transform itself into other shapes. However, if it tries to transform itself into something by relying on its memory, this Pokémon manages to get details wrong.
Ruby · Sapphire · Omega Ruby · Alpha Sapphire
When it encounters another DITTO, it will move faster than normal to duplicate that opponent exactly.
Crystal · Shield
Its transformation ability is perfect. However, if made to laugh, it can't maintain its disguise.
Silver · SoulSilver
It can transform into anything. When it sleeps, it changes into a stone to avoid being attacked.
Gold · HeartGold
When it spots an enemy, its body transfigures into an almost perfect copy of its opponent.
Yellow · Let’s Go, Pikachu! · Let’s Go, Eevee!
Capable of copying an enemy's genetic code to instantly transform itself into a duplicate of the enemy.
