[SET COMMENTS]

Ditto finds itself a niche spot on stall teams, being an excellent revenge killer with Choice Scarf against setup sweepers such as Mega Garchomp, Landorus-T, Kartana, Manaphy, and Mega Mawile. It can purposefully take Knock Off in matchups where it won't need Choice Scarf to revenge kill anything, which gives it a lot more utility in simply copying other Pokemon. Imposter granting more PP on every switch also makes it excellent in stall mirror matches. The HP EVs boost Ditto's only relevant stat after transforming, while the remaining EVs and nature maximize its chances of winning Struggle wars against opposing Ditto. The IVs guarantee that copied Hidden Power is Ground-type, which lets Ditto trap and remove Magnezone, while minimizing Speed for Struggle wars. The IVs let Ditto use Hidden Power Ground, letting it trap and remove Magnezone, and give it the lowest possible Speed for Struggle wars with opposing Ditto. (Make sure you select Hidden Power Ground in the teambuilder.)

Due to it only fitting on stall, Ditto's teammates tend to be stall staples such as Mega Sableye, Clefable, Chansey, Corviknight, and Toxapex. Toxapex is notable because it can bait in other Regenerator Pokemon such as Slowking and Tangrowth relatively easily, which Ditto can copy for HP recovery. It also absorbs Toxic Spikes, which really bothers Ditto long-term. Meanwhile, Mega Sableye, Gliscor, and Corviknight can keep entry hazards away, significantly improving Ditto's longevity. Teammates such as Skarmory and Corviknight appreciate Ditto trapping and removing Magnezone, which would otherwise trap and remove them.

Other Options
=============

Ditto has no other viable options.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Substitute**: Ditto cannot copy a Pokemon behind a Substitute, and therefore it is often useless against common Substitute users such as Kyurem, Suicune, and Mega Gyarados.

**Chip Damage**: Ditto is prone to getting chipped down during the course of longer games, taking entry hazard damage every time it comes in to copy a foe. It is possible for a copied recovery move, such as Corviknight's Roost or Clefable's Soft-Boiled, to heal up Ditto; however, it tends to dislike being locked into a non-damaging move. Imposter does copy Regenerator, so opposing Slowking, Amoonguss, or Toxapex can let Ditto heal up.

Ditto finds itself a niche but viable (It having an analysis automatically implies viability) spot on stall teams, as it functions as an excellent revenge killer against set up sweepers such as Mega Garchomp, Landorus-T, Kartana, and Mega Mawile. Due to how Transform works it also has practically infinite PP making it Transform’s granting of a sustainable source of PP also makes it excellent in stall mirror matches.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Substitute**: Ditto cannot copy a Pokemon behind a Substitute, and as such it is useless against common Substitute users such as Kyurem, Suicune, or Corviknight Mega Gyarados.

**Chip Damage**: Unless the opponent has a Pokemon with Regenerator, Ditto is prone to getting chipped down during the course of longer games, as it switches into Hazards and gets chipped by stuff like Sand. It is possible to use an opponents recovery move to heal up ditto, if it has one, however, you tend to dislike being locked into a status move when using ditto. (Rewrite this to adhere closer to the grammar standards, please)

I'm not QC, but if this set is meant to be as slow as possible, which is implied from the set comments, you need to add a line stating that a Speed IV of 0 is needed.
