What is a transform pokemon in pokemon go?

In Pokémon Go, a Transform Pokémon refers to Ditto.

Ditto is a Normal-type Pokémon that has the unique ability to transform into any other Pokémon it encounters in battle. When Ditto is sent into battle, it takes on the appearance, moveset, and stats of the opposing Pokémon, apart from its HP. However, its transformed appearance does not change its own level, IVs, or other specific attributes.

Ditto's Transform move allows it to copy the appearance of the opponent Pokémon, and it will retain this form until either the battle ends or Ditto is switched out. It is important to note that Ditto cannot copy the appearance or moves of Shedinja, as Shedinja has special mechanics in the game.

To find a Ditto in Pokémon Go, players usually need to encounter and catch common Pokémon that can potentially be Ditto in disguise. These Pokémon include Pidgey, Ratatta, Zubat, Magikarp, Sentret, Hoothoot, Yanma, Gulpin, Whismur, and Zigzagoon. When caught, these Pokémon may reveal themselves to be Ditto instead of their original form.

Ditto's transformation ability makes it a versatile Pokémon, as it can potentially counter opponents with type advantages. However, its base stats are relatively low, making it less effective in battles compared to some other Pokémon.

In summary, Ditto is the only Pokémon with the ability to transform in Pokémon Go, allowing it to mimic the appearance and moves of other Pokémon encountered in battle. Players can find Ditto by catching specific Pokémon that have a chance of revealing themselves as Ditto.
