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. | 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.

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.

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 can still be accessed using the {{SSBM|debug menu}} through an [[Action Replay]], where it is known internally by it's Japanese name, '''METAMON'''.

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 appears as one of the many summonable Poké Ball Pokémon, confirmed in the August 2018 Nintendo Direct.

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 | 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.

While Ditto is out, the copied fighter will occupy one of the empty player slots. Because of this, it cannot be summoned during an [[8-Player Smash|8-Player match]] (since all slots will be occupied), but it still can be summoned with 7 players or lower. | While Ditto is out, the copied fighter will occupy one of the empty player slots.

*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. | *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.
