New Information

We have some new information that is vital for you breeding fanatics. If Ditto or Mew faint after using Transform, they will still know the attacks that they knew as they had transformed. They continue to know these attacks until they are next in battle. However this does not stop Ditto from passing on the moves while Breeding. Very handy if you're trying to get a specific move onto a Pok�mon but you do not have the patience or certain parts for a Breeding Chain
