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.
In the official Super Smash Bros. Melee strategy guide, Ditto is still listed as being able to appear from a Poké Ball, suggesting the guide was made while the game was still in development, or a small mistake by the writers.
It can be accessed using special hacking software such as Action Replay, 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.
