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

In Super Smash Bros. MeleeEdit

As a removed Poké Ball PokémonEdit

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. Instead, it simply says "Meta!" then disappears. It also deals around 7-8% damage to whoever touches it...

As a Tournament Mode elementEdit

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

As a trophyEdit

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:

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.

TriviaEdit

• 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.
