Revenge Killer
########
name: Revenge Killer
move 1: Transform
ability: Imposter
item: Choice Scarf
evs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
ivs: 0 Spe
nature: Relaxed
Moves
========
- Not that much to say here because you will almost never be using transform.
Set Details
========
- 0 Speed evs give it Hidden Power Ice and when in tandem with a relaxed nature gives you a really good shot of winning a Ditto vs. Ditto Struggle battle.
- If you are not running Choice Scarf you are better off not using Ditto.
Usage Tips
========
- Ditto should be only used as a revenge killer as it can pick off weakened Pokemon rather well.
- It is also a good idea to send in ditto after losing a Pokemon if the opponent has accumulated a couple of boosts as then Ditto has a shot to sweep. You can also use a slow Volt Switch or U-turn to get Ditto in safely.
========
- Entry hazard control is appreciated as Ditto is vulnerable to hazards even if it gains a Flying-type so spinners such as Avalugg and Wartortle or defoggers such as Swanna or Pelipper can be helpful.
- As previously mentioned a slow U-turn, Volt Switch, or Baton Pass can be very beneficial to ditto so it can come in without harm. Defensive Rotom-S and F are the best examples.
Other Options
########
- Ditto has literally no other options that are viable.
- Red Card can be cool although you are expecting to take a hit lol.
- I mean if you wanna try to be unique on the low ladder you can try Choice Specs and Band.
- Ditto's sleugh of powders seems very intruquing but sadly these only work before Ditto transforms.
Checks & Counters
########
- **Substitute**: Substitute users completely bone Ditto as it cannot transform as long as they are behind a Substitute.
