About Ditto Moves
Your Ditto companion learns moves by mimicking teacher Pokémon across the islands. Moves come in three styles: Regular moves like Water Gun and Cut are used while playing as Ditto. Transformation moves (Surf, Glide, Magnet Rise…) turn you into the teacher Pokémon for the duration. Innate abilities are built-in from the start.
All moves share a single PP (Power Points) pool — watch the blue bar above the move wheel. Many moves can be empowered by cooking specific foods.
