If a ditto transforms into a stronger pokemon does it copy all the stats too?

Question

I'm gunna try for the regional video game championships and i was gunna use a ditto but im not sure if it copies stats too cuz its stats are kinda low. please help me out =(

Answer 1

Here is what Transform copies:

Look
Cry
Attack Stat
Defense
Speed
Sp. Def
Sp. Attack
Capture Rate
Experience Given when defeated
Any stat changes made by the foe
Moves

However, when you land a Critical Hit, the damage will be based off your offensive stats.

No wonder my DITTO was hard to catch! It transformed into my GIRATINA.

Lol Platinum, Mine transformed into darkrai

lol mine was so hard to catch i ran out of pokeballs and accidentally used my masterball.

I was trying to catch one but it is hard if it turns into a rampaging haxorus

Are you sure it copies catch rate as I had one transform into a sentret and it was still reasonably hard to catch

LOL Platinum same happened to me!
