[[File:Duplica Ditto Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|[[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]]]
There are several instances of '''{{p|Ditto}} {{m|Transform|transformations}}''' in Pokémon media.

In the [[core series]] games, a Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} accurately copies the appearance of the target. However, starting with [[Duplica's Ditto]] in the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', several Ditto in various Pokémon media retain their original faces while transformed.

==Transformation types==
===Perfect copy===
Any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} becomes a visually perfect copy of the target in several games, as the same sprites or renders used for the transformation target are also used for the transformed Pokémon.

This is the case in the [[core series]] (except for the color palettes in early generations), the [[side series]], the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] (except in "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]), [[Pokémon GO]], [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], {{aniseries|PTS}} (with some exceptions like [[Duplica's Ditto]]), the [[POKÉTOON]] short ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]'', [[Pokémon Adventures]], and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In [[Dit-to Ditto]], most but not all Ditto transform perfectly.

===Retaining original colors===
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} retains its original color palette after transformed into other Pokémon. Specifically, Ditto's palette is gray (Generation I), purple (Generation II, non-Shiny), or blue (Generation II, Shiny).

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the Ditto from the Poké Ball item transforms into a purple version of any fighter.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ditto transforms into a purple version of [[Ash Ketchum]].

===Retaining original Shininess===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform retains its own Shininess or lack thereof.

For instance, if a Shiny Ditto uses Transform on a regular (blue) {{p|Gyarados}}, Ditto will appear as a Shiny (red) Gyarados.

</gallery></center>

===Dimmed colors===
In {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform appears with slightly dimmed colors.

===Retaining original face===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] retained its original face while transformed until it eventually learned how to transform its face as well. This was presented as an anomaly, but several other Ditto in various [[Pokémon]] media have also been since depicted with their original face while transformed.

Other examples include the Ditto transformations seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Ditto Collection]] merchandise, [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]], the [[Dit-to Ditto]] music video, several Ditto cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], and the player {{poko|Ditto}} in [[Pokémon Pokopia]].

===Retaining original size===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica's second Ditto named Mini-Dit was unable to change its size, turning into small copies of large Pokémon.

===Half-way transformation===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Green}}'s [[Ditty]] is often seen in the process of transforming or turning back into its original form.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Duplica's Ditto]] appears partially transformed into {{p|Machop}}.

A {{TCG|XY Black Star Promos|XY Black Star Promo}} {{TCG ID|XY Promo|Ditto|40}} card depicts a Ditto half-transformed into {{p|Pikachu}}. In [[Pokémon 4Koma Plaza]] #39, several Ditto appear half-transformed as well, each with a Pikachu head on a Ditto body.

===Other transformations===
In the [[Dit-to Ditto]] music video, a Ditto transforms into Ditto with its face on its back, and another Ditto transforms into a Ditto with its body upside-down but not its face.

==In the core series games==
[[File:SV Ditto Block.png|thumb|250px|Ditto Block]]

In the [[core series]] games, Ditto's only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}. From [[Generation V]] onwards, Ditto can also transform by using its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Imposter}}.

Some [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that Ditto transforms into a stone when sleeping in order to avoid being attacked.

===Pokémon Crystal===
{{game|Crystal}}'s [[game intro|intro]] starts with a {{p|Ditto}} transforming into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
[[File:Ditto Clefairy.png|thumb|left|Game Corner "Clefairy"]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], during the Game Corner slot machine game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the player can encounter a Ditto transformed into a human at the Police Station on {{rt|9|Alola}}. After battling it, the player is tasked with apprehending the remaining [[Alola Route 9#The Ditto Five|Ditto Five]], also transformed into humans, in [[Konikoni City]].

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In [[The Indigo Disk]], various [[Blueberry Quest|Ditto Blocks]] can be found as objectives in [[Blueberry Quest]]s throughout the [[Terarium]], where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium.

==In the side series games==
In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, which feature [[Pokemon battle]]s based on the core series games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

===Pokémon Stadium series===
In {{g|Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, a Ditto transforms into the countdown "3", "2", "1", "GO!" seen at the start of any [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|mini-game]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto first became available on November 23, 2016. It appears disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the [[April Fools' Day 2022]] event "[[Find the Ditto impostors!]]" features several Trainer duplicates which are in fact Ditto transformed into humans.

Additionally, in Tournament Mode, by holding '''L''', '''R''' and '''A''' together, the game will select a random character. That player's avatar will appear as Ditto until the match starts.

====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the {{p|Ditto}} summoned from the Poké Ball transforms into a purple version of the fighter who used this item.

This Ditto can also transform into a {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Magnemite}} to travel across water, roll across land, glide over the ground, and hover in the air, respectively. 

When using other moves via the [[Transform (specialty)|Transform]] [[Specialty]] the body parts of Ditto transform, such as turning arms to vines for {{m|Leafage}} and gaining {{p|Squirtle}}'s shell for {{m|Water Gun}}.

Ditto can also transform into different items through the use of {{m|Camouflage}}.

===Eevee × Tamagotchi===
In [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], an {{p|Eevee}} with minimal care and food becomes a {{p|Ditto}} transformed into Eevee.

===Pokémon Trozei series===
In [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and {{pkmn|Battle Trozei}}, the puzzle games usually involve forming combos of at least four Pokémon of the same species. Although Ditto is not seen transforming in-game, it works a "wild card", counting as any Pokémon for the purpose of forming combos.

In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], before Ditto was legitimately available, it was originally coded as a wild card like in the previous games. However, instead of being a wild card, Ditto was released in 2017 with the [[Skill (Shuffle)|Transform]] skill, which causes up to 3 Ditto to transform into another support Pokémon.

===Pokémon Zany Cards===
{{missing image||Add Ditto transformed into the suit symbols: hearts, diamonds, and clubs}}
In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Special Seven]] card game (a variant of {{wp|one-card}}) involves discarding the cards from the player's hand if they match the rank or suit of the latest card added to the discard pile.

Special Seven features four Ditto cards, one of each suit (the eight of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs). When a Ditto card is discarded, the player chooses the suit it will transform to using "Ditto's Transform". This also features a short animation where Ditto visually transforms into the suit symbol with the Ditto face.

In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], a {{p|Voltorb}}, a {{p|Machoke}}, and Team Rocket's {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}}, while still retaining its original face. At some point, [[Jessie]] showed Duplica's Ditto a picture of a young boy with blue hair and requested to see how he would look like as an adult, but Ditto transformed into a picture of the adult man while still retaining Ditto's original face. Jessie also wanted Ditto to transform into {{p|Dratini}}, but once she showed it a book with Dratini's picture, Ditto transformed into a book instead. At the end of this episode, Duplica's Ditto learned how to transform perfectly, including its face.

In the events between ''[[PS069|Playing Horsea]]'' and ''[[PS084|Clefabulous Clefable]]'', at [[Cerise Island]], Ditty had been secretly transformed into Green's right arm while she was wearing a jacket over her dress. In the meantime, Green and [[Sabrina]] were seemingly bound together by Lorelei's ice handcuffs. Ultimately, Ditty was revealed after Green's arm appeared to be severed like the arm of the ice voodoo doll in her likeness. Ditty then attacked Lorelei and her Jynx by extending as a long snake-like blob and then formed a cocoon around them.
