Flavor

Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White

It has the ability to reconstitute its entire cellular structure to transform into whatever it sees.

Black 2, White 2

It can reconstitute its entire cellular structure to change into what it sees, but it returns to normal when it relaxes.

Generation 6
X

It has the ability to reconstitute its entire cellular structure to transform into whatever it sees.

Y

It can freely recombine its own cellular structure to transform into other life-forms.

Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire

Ditto rearranges its cell structure to transform itself into other shapes. However, if it tries to transform itself into something by relying on its memory, this Pokémon manages to get details wrong.

Generation 7
Sun

It can reorganize its cells to make itself into a duplicate of anything it sees. The quality of the duplicate depends on the individual.

Moon

With its astonishing capacity for metamorphosis, it can get along with anything. It does not get along well with its fellow Ditto.

Ultra Sun

While it can transform into anything, each Ditto apparently has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to transformations.

Ultra Moon

It transforms into whatever it sees. If the thing it’s transforming into isn’t right in front of it, Ditto relies on its memory—so sometimes it fails.
