Appearances[]
Main Pokémon games[]
Other Pokémon games[]
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: Ditto is the guardian of Limestone Cavern and its Time Gear. It plays a major role in the Special Episode Here Comes Team Charm!.
Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs: A Ditto under the ownership of Kasa appears as a boss at the Sky Fortress. It will transform into Entei, Raikou and Suicune to attack.
Super Smash Bros. series[]
In the Super Smash Bros., Ditto first made its appearance as a random trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a Poké Ball. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, it was removed for unknown reasons before the game's release. Ditto can still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than deal 7-8% damage to those who touch it.
As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color for each match. The usual character image will instead be a picture of Ditto.
Ditto was added as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate where it transforms into a purple copy of the character that summoned it.
Trophy descriptions[]
Melee
- Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use Transform, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.
