Teh Pwnage
I'm unsure about Ditto's Transform

does it copy it's target's stats/moves/natures exactly or are there some stats/moves/natures that are not copied?

thanks
 
no, the ditto keeps its stats. If you have a lvl 5 bulbasaur vs a lvl 100 ditto, the winner is obvious. Try it out for your self
 
Actually, the Ditto copies everything except Max HP, current PP of opponent (Ditto gets 5PP for each of the target's moves, assuming they have at least 5 max PP), and what the target is holding. Smeargle is superior to Ditto for using this move due to higher Max HP. Mew is even better, but is uber and hard to get. As for protect/detect, they use the same counter. The probability of it working = 2^(-n), where n is the number of previous successful uses of protect/detect in a row without any turns spent in between by that pokemon. It always works the first time, has a 50% chance the 2nd time, and a 25% chance the third time, and so on. You can't reliably stall with with either of those moves, and using them both together, like I said, doesn't reset the counter, but adds to it no matter which move you use.
 
I'm not too sure, a ditto used transform against my zapdos, (lvl 60 zapdos, 24 ditto) and it killed my zapdos with thunderbolt in one move afterwards (was just throwing balls at the ditto) but this happened in fr so it may be different in gen 4.
 
1. Welcome to Serebii Forums.

2. Wrong forum. There are multiple Help Threads. It's in the rules which are stickied.

3. Did you Google or Bulbapedia search yet? Or check the Serebii "Game Mechanics" page? Those would undoubtedly give you the answers you want.
