Ditto is, to put it simply, the best revenge killer in any tier of all time ever. It can come in on any pokemon that doesn't resist itself (flygon, heracross, kingdra, ghosts, etc.) Unless it is facing a scarfer it will always outspeed, and even if it does have to take out a scarf there is a 50% chance of an outspeed, due to the speed tie. Since it does not rely on its on stats it can customize its IV's to get the right hidden power, such as ice for lilligant or ground for raiku.


In response to the above posters, Ditto beats any raiku not running hpground, and if that raiku had already calm minded, can use the boosts to tear apart the opposing team. Ditto can also easily beat any standard scarfed heracross that isn't locked into stone edge, and even if it is, there is still the 50% chance due to speed tie.

Ditto is very easy to play around. If he switchs into heracross, just which to your Hera counter (because every team carries one now). Trying to take out your darmanitan, switch in your check. Ditto is effective against certain teams, but can be dead weight against stall teams. Even HO teams can play around ditto. While he looks good on paper, ditto just can't hold it's own on a team to be considered the best. He needs a lot of support to work well and some very good prediction.
