Does boosting the attack stat of a Pokemon for the trainer fly glitch work on ditto?

You guys probably know about the trainer fly glitch in the generation 1 games. You probably also know about how you can increase or decrease the encountered Pokemon’s level by increasing or decreasing your opponent’s Pokemon’s attack stat. I’m wondering if this also works with ditto. I’ll give an example. I set up a trainer fly and then go to cinnibar island. Then, I go to the basement. There, I find a ditto. The ditto transforms into my hitmonlee and uses meditate 3 times. After that, I run from the ditto and go to my trainerfly location to encounter a Pokemon. In this scenario, will my encountered Pokemon still be level 7, or will it be level 10?

The Bulbapediapage about the trainer fly glitchcontains a detailed section about Ditto and another one about level manipulation. If level manipulation works differently with Ditto, then at least one of those sections would almost certainly mention this, but it’s not mentioned in the entire page. So I’m pretty sure it works with Ditto. I’ll convert this to a comment if you tell me you’re not satisfied with this answer.
