To make Ditto transform, which can only be done in fights, just use the move transform and you will get the opponent's PokeMon with it's moves.

well in my experience ditto can use transform but it has no effect
wrong castform and cherrim and ditto and latitas can transform.
No. Only Ditto and Mew can learn transform. (I think...)
Smeargle can learn transform in two ways. In Gen III if you put ditto to sleep then have use transform it will fail, and smeargle can sketch it. In Gen IV onwards the Smeargle must know Dig, Dive, Fly, Bounce, or Shadow Force. Have Ditto transform into Smeargle and Smeargle use 2-turn move (Ditto must be slower (use the lagging tail). Transform will fail due to lack of target. next turn, have Smeargle use Sketch on Ditto, and give ditto a berry. Sketch will successfully copy Transform
Shiny Dittos will not transform to a shiny sprite to its opponent.But if it transformes into a shiny pokemon, the transformed ditto becomes the shiny pokemon, not the normal pokemon.Ex: Red Gyrados vs DittoIf ditto uses transform, it will turn into a Red Gyrados.When the battle ends, the ditto will not be shiny.But in Gen. 2, I think it does turn shiny if you catch the transformed ditto...
