With that being said Ditto is a great Pokemon and can still revenge kill a large portion of the meta-game, it just has some flaws that prevent it from being really even close to overpowered in my mind.

The main problem's with Ditto are listed above. Another big problem with Ditto is that when revenging with Ditto you can only use one move, which most of the time can either be countered or pp stalled. Not only that, but moves like Outrage and Hi Jump Kick may result in Ditto possibly getting injured. The odds of sweeping the opponent by utilizing this set could only occur late game from my experience or against an unprepared team.
