Transform Move Detail
Transform is a Normal-type move with no power or accuracy value, as it does not deal damage directly. When a Pokémon uses Transform, it changes into the target Pokémon, copying its appearance, stats (except HP), moves, and type(s). Transform is famously associated with the Pokémon Ditto, which uses this move to become a duplicate of its opponent. Another interesting fact is that when a Pokémon transforms, it also duplicates the target's current stat changes. However, any item held by the transforming Pokémon remains unchanged, and moves copied by Transform have only 5 PP each, regardless of the original amount.
