Talk:Transform (specialty)

Suggestion: work this page into an article on the "Transform" Specialty.

Ditto's move set in this game is a product of its specialty (which is also uniquely limited to ditto). It probably be good practice for us to make an article on each specialty in the game because they are a crucial game mechanic akin to typings or egg groupings. With this in mind, I'd suggest we rename the draft to "Transform (Specialty)" and I would imagine we format the article similar to say our egg group articles where we have first a description of what the characteristic does (including the move table currently displayed) followed by a list of Pokémon with the specialty (in this case just Ditto), followed by the standard trivia/other languages section. 4iamking 22:05, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Additional moves?

Should Headbutt, Stockpile/Spit Out, Jump, and/or Strength be added here? The latter two are taught by other Pokémon like the ones here, and several of them are established moves in the main series. On the other hand, they aren't included in the Moves section of Tips and Tricks like the rest are... Zyxyz (talk) 14:12, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

I agree that the additional moves should be referenced as part of Ditto's move set. However the game doesn't treat them as moves in the same way, i.e. like you said they're not in the moves section of Tips and Tricks and don't have icons like the others do.

It is part of Ditto's Transform specialty though, so maybe the way to go is to follow the suggestion above and combine this page into a Transform (specialty) page and include information on the additional moves too.

Thinking about it, if a Transform (specialty) page was made following the example of the ones already made, it would pretty much just be giving this information anyway. Drjwho (talk) 18:21, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
