Ditto is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #132 as the "Transform Pokémon". Its only move in every game is {{iw|bulbapedia|Transform|move}} which allows it to turn into a copy of its opponent, though while keeping its own original HP. The effect disappears when switching out or finishing the battle. In {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation V}} it received the {{iw|bulbapedia|Hidden Ability}} {{iw|bulbapedia|Imposter|ability}}, which makes it transform automatically upon entering the battle.

While Ditto copies the Pokémon's actual coloring in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation III}} onwards, the purple coloring of the copied fighter in ''Ultimate'' pulls from Ditto's appearance in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation II}}, where it would transform into a purple copy of the opposing Pokémon. This also applies to Generation I when played on a Super Game Boy.

Ditto is a [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon]] that was removed from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' just prior to its release. Its purpose was to transform into a copy of the summoner's character and aid them in battle, according to the game's official strategy guide. Since it is absent during gameplay despite the guide mentioning Ditto, this suggests it was a late cut to ''Melee''.
Ditto is a [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon]] that was removed from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' just prior to its release. Its purpose was to create an AI copy of the user's character, which would aid them in battle. The reason for the removal of Ditto is unknown; however, it did have an entry in the game's official strategy guide, suggesting that Ditto was a late cut to ''Melee''.
 
Ditto can still be accessed using the {{SSBM|debug menu}} through an [[Action Replay]], where it is known internally by it's Japanese name, '''METAMON'''. When summoned from a Poké Ball, it says "Mon-mon!" and stretches out while spinning, then disappears. Fighters that touch Ditto while it spins get around 7-8% damage, with weak knockback.  


Ditto is voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi, who portrayed {{s|bulbapedia|Duplica's Ditto}} in {{s|bulbapedia|EP037}} of ''Pokémon the Series: The Beginning'', with her portrayals being re-purposed directly from the episode's original Japanese dub.

Ditto appears as one of the many summonable Poké Ball Pokémon, confirmed in the August 2018 Nintendo Direct. Erica Schroeder, who voiced Ditto in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon'', reprises her role in the English dub with a new voice clip.
Ditto was confirmed in the August Nintendo Direct to appear as a Poké Ball Pokémon. When it appears, it will {{iw|bulbapedia|transform|move}} into a purple version of the summoning fighter, acting as a CPU player and taking their physical appearance. Players and Assist Trophies alike can attack the clone.
 
When Ditto appears, it will {{iw|bulbapedia|transform|move}} into a purple version of the summoning fighter, acting as a CPU player and taking their physical appearance, with the only difference being a purple gelatinous texture. Players and Assist Trophies alike can attack the clone. Ditto can be defeated, but doing so will not score a point. It is also the only Poké Ball Pokémon in the game who can be defeated. The AI for Ditto appears to be comparable to a low-level regular CPU, often standing still for periods of time and attempting individual attacks only, much like the behaviour of many other Poké Ball Pokémon. It also takes 1.2× more knockback than regular fighters. However, its attacks deal 1.1× regular damage to compensate. It cannot be summoned during an [[8-Player Smash|8-Player match]] but it still can be summoned with 7 players or lower.


While Ditto will exactly copy most characters exactly like how they are originally (minus the purple gelatinous texture), the following copies will be different:
If the summoner is an {{SSBU|Ice Climber}}s, it will only Transform into 1. If it transforms into [[Rosalina]], it won't have a [[Luma]]. If one of the {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}'s Pokémon, it'll Transform into whatever Pokémon is out when the Pokéball lands. If it Transforms into {{SSBU|Olimar}}, it will spawn with a red, yellow and blue [[Pikmin]]. If it Transforms into {{SSBU|Kirby}} with a [[Copy Ability]], Ditto won't have it.
*If the summoner plays as the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, it will only Transform into the leading Ice Climber.
{{clear}}
*If the summoner is playing as {{SSBU|Rosalina}}, the copy will not have a [[Luma]].
*If the summoner is playing as {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}'s Pokémon, it'll Transform into whichever Pokémon summoned it rather than the actual Pokémon Trainer; it won't Transform again if the current Pokémon is [[Pokémon Change|switched out]].
*If Ditto Transforms into {{SSBU|Olimar}}, it will spawn with a red, yellow and blue [[Pikmin]], rather than which Pikmin are currently being used.
*If Ditto copies {{SSBU|Pyra}} or {{SSBU|Mythra}}, it will not transform into the other character with [[Swap]].
*If {{SSBU|Kirby}} with a [[Copy Ability]] is the summoner, Ditto will not have the copy ability. However, it can swallow enemies to gain their copy ability. Ditto can be swallowed by an enemy Kirby in order to get the Copy ability of the character which Ditto is transformed into.
 
Additionally, if Ditto Transforms into {{SSBU|Lucario}}, the Ditto will also copy its Aura effect, and copying {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s will include the Mii's current moveset. When it copies {{SSBU|Steve}} a crafting table will appear for the Ditto.
 
If spirits are enabled, Ditto will only have the primary spirit effects, but like other Poké Ball Pokémon, its stats are affected by the summoner's spirit team.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Much like when a character is under the effect of [[Metal Box]] or turned [[Gold fighter|gold]], Ditto only copies bump maps of the character models. As a result, several visual differences are present compared to the summoner, such as {{SSBU|Kirby}} not having visible eyes.
*Ditto is the first Poké Ball Pokémon since ''[[Melee]]'' that can be defeated.
*Ditto is the first Poké Ball Pokémon since [[Cyndaquil]], [[Chansey]] and [[Marill]] in ''Melee'' that can be defeated. It is also the only assist character that can be hit by cinematic Final Smashes.
{{clrl}}
*If Ditto gets all the pieces of a [[Dragoon]], it will target the reticle at an opponent, but will not manually use it and wait until it is fired automatically.
*If Ditto is present when the battle ends, it will vanish when "GAME" is on the screen, unless it is not transformed.
*Normally, Ditto is silent after transforming into a duplicate of its summoner. However, if certain Final Smashes are activated, it will use the summoner's voice clips (if applicable) after the Final Smash successfully connects against any opponent, as opposed to its own voice that it makes once initially summoned.
*When Ditto gets summoned by a player currently using a name, the name indicator will be missing the bordered background, but when it transforms into the character who summoned it, the border will appear. However, it vanishes once Ditto returns to normal.
