I don't think it will be broken in any teirs. It'll be like Porygon2.
I think Ditto won't get Uber because of Eccentric. It will just... be usable in any tier
Yes, it does. It copies all current stats (including statchanging move results), as well as Abilities and moves. The only stat that doesn't change is HP.Erm Ditto does not copy the pokemons stats only abilties and moves.
No it doesn't, it only copies abilties and move.
I should know I just tested it
Yeah.
If you really want to test it, try having Ditto get hit by an attack before transforming, and then try letting him get hit by the same move after transforming to see if his defense increased.
Keep in mind that Ditto always runs max HP, which gives him virtually the same HP as a Pokemon with base 80 HP and no investment. Plenty of sweepers have less.Personally (and I might be using a little too much theorymon here) I'd say that Ditto will be getting quite a lot of use at the bottom of the ladder; Eccentric, coupled with a scarf, is simply too good at revenge killing to get no use at all.
That said, given that Ditto retains that horrifying base 48 HP, I don't think that he's going to be particularly viable with all the priority moves that OU players flaunt. It's a shame, really, because I really like Ditto, but I think that Eccentric has given him just a little less than he needs to be a success.
what if ditto comes in on a Gyarados. Does it copy intimidate? Sorry if this has been discussed. Just what to know.
Why can't you breed ditto? I thought ditto + ditto makes ditto eggs?
You see the reason why it looked like it copied his stats in his vid is because they're around the same level
I used a lvl 100 ditto vs a lvl 5 wild pokemon and 1hit it.
did the same vs a lvl 16 fire ape it died in 1 hit with a fire move
I wouldn't go as far as saying its the best generation ever, but it would be fair to say its the best generation for offensive styles of play.I just wanna say:
15 full pages honestly discussing how Ditto could work in high-level play, discussing him as a serious threat.
This is the best Generation ever.
