Bulbapedia also has an article about Ditto DV manipulation.

The DVs of a Ditto in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow can be made to match one of the user's Pokémon.

If an enemy Pokémon uses Transform, and then the user transforms into the Pokémon which used Transform, and then the opponent uses Transform again, the opponent may become a Ditto with the same DVs as the user after it is caught.

Since shininess in Generations I and II is determined by DVs, this exploit is useful for obtaining a shiny Ditto. The player may perform the glitch with a Pokémon that is already shiny (such as the red Gyarados) after it is taught Mimic so that it may temporarily learn Transform.
