Equipped with a Choice Scarf, Ditto is always able to outspeed any foe that it has copied unless they also hold a Choice Scarf or Ditto is undergoing Dynamax. Its ability Imposter is the reason it excels as a revenge killer. By causing it to copy all of the opponent's stats except HP, it is able to beat most sweepers such as Zacian-C, Mega Rayquaza, and non-Dynamaxed Xerneas by always hitting them first with boosted moves thanks to its Choice Scarf. A Relaxed nature, 0 Speed IVs, and maximum Defense investment are used in case Ditto is the last remaining Pokemon against another Ditto: it reduces the damage taken from Struggle and makes it as slow as possible, so that it uses Struggle last due to not copying the opposing Ditto first and therefore having more Transform PP. 248 HP EVs ensure it does not faint after four Struggles. The IV spread is optimal to have Hidden Power Fire when copying Xerneas, allowing it to potentially countersweep the opposing team with Dynamax, while maximizing the damage output of Struggle.
Ditto is one of the the best revenge killers in AG. It can make great use of Dynamax, which lets it snowball on the opposing team after having copied a boosted sweeper like Xerneas, Necrozma-DM, or Mewtwo. It is ideally sent out on the field after a teammate has fainted: Ditto can then revenge kill the foe or, if the opportunity allows it to, Dynamax to break its Choice lock and blow through the opponent's team thanks to augmented moves and doubled HP. Once its Dynamax is over, it can potentially continue to sweep with its Choice Scarf. It can also immediately copy Zacian-C and get an extra boost from Intrepid Sword that lets it break past traditional counterplay to Zacian-C such as defensive Necrozma-DM and Primal Groudon with Close Combat. Ditto is self-sufficient and fits on every playstyle, but it is typically of great value on balance teams that would otherwise be overwhelmed by the myriad of sweepers that can resort to Dynamax to bypass defensive and offensive counterplay alike. Since several Pokemon are self-Imposter-proof at varying levels, counterplay to those is highly recommended. Yveltal cannot be beaten with Ditto during any of the three Dynamax turns because it has a higher HP stat and a Life Orb, and even afterwards, Ditto can't revenge kill it without Dynamax unless Yveltal is seriously worn down, so having Tyranitar, specially defensive Ho-Oh, or Xerneas as a partner helps Ditto a lot. Xerneas also needs to be seriously weakened or unable to Dynamax before attempting to revenge kill it with Ditto; thus, Ho-Oh and Necrozma-DM make for good partners by forcing Xerneas to Dynamax and wasting two turns of it without much trouble. Entry hazard removal is also recommended because Ditto likes to be healthy to repeatedly check threats, so pairing it with a Defogger like Ho-Oh or Lunala is a good idea. Ditto can struggle against defensive teams with Pokemon like Zygarde-C, Necrozma-DM, and Ho-Oh that it can do little to, so it pairs well with Pokemon like Mega Gengar and Eternatus. They provide a way to remove passive foes, while Ditto is able to check offensive threats such as Zacian-C for them.
