Ditto

Ditto was one of several different designs conceived by Game Freak's character development team and finalized by Ken Sugimori for the first generation of Pocket Monsters games Red and Green, which were localized outside of Japan as Pokémon Red and Blue.

Originally called "Metamon" in Japanese, Nintendo decided to give the various Pokémon species "clever and descriptive names" related to their appearance or features when translating the game for western audiences as a means to make the characters more relatable to American children.

Ditto has the form of an amorphous blob with a simplistic face.

Ditto is purple (or blue if it is shiny) and is able to rearrange its cellular structure into anything at will, but it usually changes into any nearby Pokémon.

It takes on the exact form of the Pokémon and can use all of its abilities.

The only things that can make it change back are being defeated, returning to a Poké Ball, and the Ditto laughing.

During the night, it transforms into a rock to avoid being attacked. If it tries to transform from memory, or if it is inexperienced, it will likely mess up on certain details such as leaving its own face or staying its own size.

The only other Pokémon capable of transforming is the legendary Pokémon Mew (though Ditto is the only non-legendary Pokémon to learn Transform) and Smeargle if it uses sketch on a wild Ditto.

Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga author Toshihiro Ono cited Ditto as one of his favorite characters to draw for the series, describing it as "easy to draw".
