[OVERVIEW]
* same thing as in all the older gens, ie revenge killer
* beats setup sweepers
* good anti-stall/offense (can pp stall stall if it has a regenerator user on it's team, also can copy the support moves)
* Always outspeeds opponent that they transformed into due to scarf
[SET]
name: No U
move 1: Transform
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Imposter
nature: Relaxed
evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
IVs:0 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
========
* Imposter's the star here, it lets it copy the opponent's pokemon upon it's entry into the field, except if substitute is up.
* Transform is basically useless, but it's all Ditto has.
* EVs don't matter except the 252 HP EVs, which maximize HP.
* this is because HP is the only stat of ditto's that carries over after transformation
* IVs are for Hidden Power Ice when transformed, notably allowing it to damage Landorus-Therian in that mirror.
Usage Tips
========
* Revenge kill offensive threats with it
* Copying powerful megas in particular is annoying, as the speed boost from scarf makes it hard to revenge.
* Can also be used to scout early-game
* against stall, use it to copy cleric support/entry hazard removal
* in stall matchup, attempt to remove scarf, since it limits options
Team Options
========
* Ditto can fit on many teams
* Most common place are bulkier balance builds
* Walls requiring setup are useful to pair, due to ditto discouraging it
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
* Ditto's only other options are to mess with the IV spread and thus mean different hidden power types, none of which are as good as the above.
Checks and Counters
===================
*Substitute: Substitute users can use substitute, thus preventing ditto from copying them.
*Choice Scarf Users: They can speed tie with ditto due to their choice scarf, hampering ditto's revenge killing ability (assuming that ditto is transformed into the same pokemon). Also, if they are faster than what ditto is transformed into, they can revenge kill it.
*Calm Mind Users: Calm mind users like reuniculus and clefable can abuse the limited PP of the moves ditto has after transformation to recover stall it, setup more, or damage it.
