Summary
A creativePokemonfan has put together their idea of what Ditto’s Ancient and Future Paradox Forms could look like in fanart. The creation draws inspiration from an interesting source and has drawn the attention of fellowPokemonplayers online.
Ditto has always been unique in thePokemonseries for its ability to copy and transform into any other Pokemon. However, over time, it’s perhaps become even more unusual in that it still lacks any evolutions. Given that Ditto’s main purpose in the games is to transform into other pocket monsters and is often utilized for breeding, it’s probably not high on the list of Pokemon likely to getnew Paradox Formsin the near future. However,Pokemonfans can always fill in the gaps with a little creativity and imagination.

That’s what Reddit user HertzBurst did when they designed Paradox Forms for Ditto and shared them with the world. Ditto received an Ancient Paradox Form called Mimic Spike and a Future Form called Iron Replica. The two forms turn Ditto into a Normal/Rock-Type and Normal/Electric-Type, respectively. Both forms size Ditto up considerably, with its FutureParadox Formbased off of a hologram and gaining a foot in height and a fair amount of weight. The Ancient Form is the most surprising, though, as it towers over standard Ditto at over four feet tall and weighs nearly 700 pounds.
The Ancient Paradox Form of Ditto looks particularly scary, with a gaping maw containing sharp teeth and a crown of spikes on its head. HertzBurst took inspiration fromPokemon Gold and Silver’s canceled beta Pokemon, which were revealed to the public after a data leak of theSpace World 1997 Demomade it to the internet. At one time, Ditto was going to receive a unique evolution that looked quite a bit like Mimic Spike, but with fewer spikes and beady eyes rather than the angry red ones this fan Paradox Form has. The creepy update to the beta evolution has struck fans as quite unnerving.
Ditto likely hasn’t gained an evolution or any hugely unique forms due to its transformation gimmick. The developers would have to find something that an evolution or Paradox Form could have that would set it apart from standard Ditto in some way without sacrificing its key characteristic. It remains to be seen ifDitto will ever get a major updatein a futurePokemongame, but regardless, the Pokemon has proven its value to players generation after generation just as it is.
