This article is about the Pokémon, Ditto, and its appearance in Melee. For the term used to define matches where both players choose the same character, see Ditto match.

Ditto (メタモン, Metamon), is a fictional creature from the Pokémon series.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

As a removed Poké Ball Pokémon

Ditto is a Pokémon that was removed from Super Smash Bros. Melee just prior to its release. Its supposed 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.

It can be accessed using the debug menu through an Action Replay (it is known internally as METAMON), but its Transform ability is not present. Instead, it simply says "Mon-mon!", then disappears. It also deals around 7-8% damage to whoever touches it.

As a Tournament Mode element

In Tournament Mode, in either Winner Out or Loser Out style tournaments, when selecting a character for these events, the player can hold down L+R and then press A to select a random character. The character will appear as Ditto and will be a random character and color when each match begins.

Trophy information

Ditto features as a collectible trophy, randomly obtained in the Trophy Lottery.

Ditto

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.

Origin

Ditto is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Its only move in every game is Transform 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 Generation V it received the Hidden Ability Imposter, which makes it transform automatically upon entering the battle.

Trivia

  • Ditto's portrait in Tournament Mode has the same pose as the Ditto trophy; the only circumstance when a character portrait matches a trophy pose in Melee is with Jigglypuff.
