| Silver | Its transformation ability is perfect. However, if made to laugh, it can’t maintain its disguise. |
| Crystal | When it encounters another DITTO, it will move faster than normal to duplicate that opponent exactly. |
| Ruby Sapphire |
DITTO rearranges its cell structure to transform itself into other shapes. However, if it tries to transform itself into something by relying on its memory, this POKéMON manages to get details wrong. |
| FireRed | It can freely recombine its own cellular structure to transform into other life-forms. |
| LeafGreen | Capable of copying an opponent’s genetic code to instantly transform itself into a duplicate of the enemy. |
| Emerald | A DITTO rearranges its cell structure to transform itself. However, if it tries to change based on its memory, it will get details wrong. |
