So it's like regular Ditto, except it has 100 extra points into HP (so it would be the only pokemon to have base HP changed in battle). That would mean it's up there with the tanks for HP, but you can't use Imposter since it would transform before being able to mega evolve, meaning you have to use Limber and let your opponent would get a free attack in, and with 48 base speed, you'll also have to deal with 48 defense for the turn. You also sacrifice your held item.
As for its ability, it wouldn't really matter since it would be replaced immediately. Perhaps it could have something which prevents all damage from faster pokemon/priority moves, meaning that only pokemon slower than it could deal damage on the first turn, by which time it would already have the opposing pokemon's stats. I think that would make it a little OP though. Imagine a sweeper with 148 base HP.
Also, Transform can work on any pokemon around the user, making this a beast when you can choose what pokemon to transform it into. Start a triple battle with Ditto in the middle, have an unrelated pokemon use Wide Guard and have Ditto Transform into the other pokemon. You now have two of the same pokemon, one of which has a max HP of 255 at lvl 50. They could be sweepers, or Shuckles (Shuckle with 255 HP sounds scary), or a lot of things really. That is the entire point of Ditto.
Thoughts?
