Ditto, the Transform Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is renowned for its unique ability to perfectly mimic any Pokémon it sees, down to its cellular structure, which is also reflected in its signature move, Transform. This shapeshifting prowess makes Ditto a valuable asset in Pokémon breeding due to its ability to breed with almost any Pokémon, regardless of gender or egg group. In the wild, Ditto are rarely seen in their true form, often appearing as other Pokémon. They are believed to be found in various environments, adapting to their surroundings by transforming. Their diet is unknown, as they can likely consume whatever their transformed state would typically eat. Ditto has no evolutionary line, existing as a standalone Pokémon. In the games, Ditto is primarily used for breeding, but its ability to copy an opponent's stats and moves can also make it a strategic battle Pokémon. In the anime, Ditto often appears in comedic roles, sometimes struggling to perfectly transform or retaining its signature blank expression. Culturally, Ditto is a beloved and iconic Pokémon, known for its adorable, blob-like appearance and its incredible versatility.
