Trivia[]
- Ditto is only non-Legendary or Mythical Pokémon from the Kanto region that was not available with release of the Pokémon GO, as it possesses a special move - Transform.
- Ditto can only transform once per battle. It will retain its first transformation for the duration of the battle.
- Ditto can be used in Gym, Raid Battle and against Team GO Rocket, but it is banned in Trainer Battle, including training battles with Team Leaders.
- However, Ditto's Transform does not work when fighting Team GO Rocket. This is likely an oversight as a result of Team GO Rocket battles being similar to Trainer Battles, which it is banned in.
- Following the conclusion of September 2018 Community Day, players reported sightings of an undiscovered Pokémon which turned into Ditto once captured, and was later identified as Meltan.
- Ditto used to appear disguised only as non-Shiny-released species until the Season of Mischief. If a disguise Pokémon happened to release its Shiny form, that Pokémon was removed from the list of Ditto disguises.
- The following species had previously been possible Ditto impersonations: Weedle, Pidgey, Rattata, Ekans, Zubat, Paras, Venonat, Diglett, Mankey, Grimer, Gastly, Drowzee, Voltorb, Magikarp, Sentret, Hoothoot, Ledyba, Spinarak, Natu, Hoppip, Yanma, Snubbull, Teddiursa, Remoraid, Zigzagoon, Seedot, Surskit, Whismur, Skitty, Gulpin, Numel, Corphish, Starly, Bidoof, Stunky, Finneon, Lillipup, Purrloin, Roggenrola, Tympole, Dwebble, Foongus, Litleo and Swirlix.
- When Shiny Paras was released, some non-Shiny Ditto disguised as Shiny Paras, but the bug was corrected later.
- Since Shiny Ditto was released in the wild, Ditto can disguise only as non-Shiny variants, even if the Ditto itself is Shiny upon caught.
