Can ditto turn into a shiny version of a Pokemon? We know that ditto could transform into any Pokemon that it could encounter. Does a normal ditto could turn into a shiny version of a Pokemon that it encountered?
In the Pokemon Games, a regular ditto would end up tranforming to the shiny pokemon it battles. However, in the anime, the Transform attack seems to be a lot more unique. For example In the anime episode, Ditto’s Mysterious Mansion, while ditto could tranform into any pokemon, its eyes and mouth wouldn’t change.In the anime episode, Imitation Confrontation, there is a ditto which can transform into any pokemon but cannot match the size of the same. It transforms into a mini sized Onix.In the manga, Ditto’s transformation is not only limited to transforming into pokemon. In the pokemon adventures manga, Green with the help of ditto, disguises herself into looking like Sabrina to infiltrate Silph Co.Hence, in conclusion, I don’t see why there is no reason as to why Ditto can’t transform into a shiny pokemon.
