Ditto

Ditto (メタモン Metamon) is a -type Pokémon. Ditto are unique as their only attack is Transform. They use this attack to copy the stats (except HP), moves (only 5 power points), types, and appearance of opponent. Another reason that they are unique is that Ditto can breed with any Pokémon in a day-care center, regardless of its gender.

In Pokémon Diamond, Ditto can be found in Route 218 between Canalave City and Jubilife City. It may be hard to encounter, so a little patience is needed.

To breed with other Pokémon, leave a Ditto together with the Pokémon you want to breed with in the day-care center in Solaceon Town. After a day or two, you can get an egg of the Pokémon you bred together with Ditto from the day-care man outside the center.

Ingame Power
In any 4th Gen. Pokemon games Ditto can learn new moves if a Ditto Transforms in to a Pokemon that has the move Rage and you catch it when it use Transform it will have the moves of the pokemon in turned to and keeps them for ever.
