I happened to catch a Ditto, but I was trainer level 7 when I caught it. My Ditto's transform stat is 0, is this normal? Will it remain 0 always, no matter the number of times I power it up?
Also, its CP is just 52, so if I use it in a gym battle, won't it faint before it even gets a chance to transform?
Best Answer
Yes, this is correct. Transform does 0 damage. This is in line with its behavior in the core series. Ditto will use Transform at the beginning of the battle, which does no damage, but allows it to take on the moveset, appearance, and stats of the opposing Pokémon.
It's also worth noting that Transform is a move, not a stat. No Pokémon's moves will get stronger as they level up, in this game, or in the core series. The moves will do more damage, yes, but that's due to their stats going up with each level.
