*It matches [[Type]] and [[Moves]] of copied Pokémon
*It does NOT match [[CP]], rather it becomes the CP of the copied Pokémon using Ditto's [[level]] and [[IVs]].
*Ditto does not copy a target's [[health]] so it is a glass cannon.*When it is defending a [[Gym]], it looks like Ditto*Ditto retains original transformation Even after being swapped out/in. Defensive dittos do not transform again.
*It can attack before the transformation animation is complete so look for the yellow flash.
*Prestiging Ditto's [[Prestige]] is based on the Transformed CP (so a Gym. The transformation CP high level Ditto is counted. The album below shows this. Note this isn't some super ditto team, its just what i was able quite good to train against due to slap togetherlow [[HP]] and high CP)*Ditto can not use Transform on a Transformed Ditto.*When faced with another dittoDitto can, in fact, neither will transform.use Transform on [[Porygon]] even though it's copy-protected
*In a multiplayer Defending Ditto will only transform to the first Pokémon to enter the battle. Subsequent players will Not get their own transformation.
