I think their catch rate changes to what they transform into. I've found that dittos are easier to catch if you lead with something stupid like a wurmple or something.

They're as hard to catch as whatever they Transform into. That's why you use a Synchronize Ralts and never evolve it.

What does it transform into when you fight it? It copies the copied mons capture rate

I'm not sure if this is true actually. At least not anymore.

I once brought a Jigglypuff, which would I would ALWAYS nab with quick balls, and the thing just wouldn't capture.

Ditto's catch rate has been a static 35 regardless of transformation since at least B/W 2.

That's not telling me that why that's bullshit, it's simply stating it. Give me a source here, even Serebii specifically states that it copies the catch rate.

I've caught about 200 Dittos so far. They weren't any easier to catch when they transformed into Ralts. Also, I've never had a Ditto use struggle.

You're one to talk, though. Find me an official serebii source that isn't ancient. Check the trivia page on bulbapedia:

There's also this gamefaqs thread I came across:

I've been trying myself with Ralts, and have yet to have to use more than four balls, most of which were for non-Imposters.

I've been trying with Ralts too, and sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I take 20 balls.

That page is outdated by two generations. Copy/pasted from the Diamond/Pearl attackdex.

Almost as if it has the same behavior now and in BW2 as it did then, so there were no changes to make.
