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. Ditto has an entry in the game's official strategy guide despite this, suggesting that 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 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 can still be accessed using the {{SSBM|debug menu}} through an [[Action Replay]], where it is known internally as '''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. Its voice clip is from the Japanese version of ''Pokémon'' anime episode 37.

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 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, 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. 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.
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.
