Basically I already said it, Ditto will impostor the pokemon and all the moves, but stats wont change. Just wanted to report that so we can get this fixed :)

Ditto's stats do change, however, it doesn't display the changes, which can be confusing at times and it would definitely be helpful to see the stats because then you'd know your opponent's pokemon's stats.
What comet said, it's also worth to notice that mega pokemon stats dont change either.
As Cometstorm pointed out, even though Ditto's stats do change despite what the stat screen will tell you, if you ever do happen to encounter any actual bugs, this thread can help: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/bug-reports-v2-0-read-op-before-posting.3469932/

Ditto's stats don't appear to change because this information is not given to you in the game itself. If your Ditto Transforms into a wild Haunter, it will still display Ditto's stats if you try to check them.
The point that ditto doesn't change to the other stats because you're not given the information of the stats of the other pokemon.
I'm 100% sure you can see the different stats on your Mega Evos. However, PS! doesn't show the different stats for a Forme change; when switching to Blade Forme, hovering over Aegislash will still display its Shield Forme stats. While I do believe this is a thing that is on the "fix this" list that Zarel has that's longer than Ron Jeremy, fixing this has a rather low priority, I'd assume, as it's solely a cosmetic repair for a relatively-new function. There are considerably more important things on Zarel's plate.

That's what I thought.
