Ditto

Ditto (メタモン, Metamon: Metamon) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

Creature description

Ditto is a featureless pink/purple blob that copy any Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica, regardless of the other Pokémon's size.

Ditto accessed by Action Replay.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

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. However, processing problems forced its removal.

It can be accessed using special software such as Action Replay, but its Transform ability is not present. All it does instead is appear, says "Meta!", then disappears. It also deals around 7-8% Damage to whoever touches it.

Ditto's only other appearances in Melee are a trophy and another appearance found in Tournament Mode, in either Winner Out or Loser Out style tournaments. When selecting your character for these events, simply hold down L+R and then press A. Your character will appear as Ditto, and will be a random character and color when each match begins.

As a trophy

Ditto features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:

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.
