Ditto has an important role on Normal teams thanks to its ability to revenge kill boosted threats. Choice Scarf allows Ditto to outspeed almost any Pokemon it copies, with the exception of other Choice Scarf users. Ditto also acts as a setup deterrent, as sweepers such as Galarian Moltres, Excadrill, and Belly Drum Azumarill cannot set up without risking a countersweep. The EV spread provided maximizes Ditto's HP and allows Ditto to use Struggle four times before fainting. 252 Defensive EVs minimize damage from an opposing Ditto's Struggle. 0 Speed ensures Ditto's Imposter ability activates last against other Ditto to win the resulting PP stall.

Ditto appreciates the presence of pivots like Heliolisk, Braviary, Porygon2, and Chansey that provide Ditto opportunities to switch in safely. Ditto struggles against bulkier foes, so eliminating them quickly is the best route to success. Snorlax assists with this task handily, as it can switch into bulkier foes like Toxapex and Slowbro easily for Ditto. In return, Ditto revenge kills setup sweepers such as Bisharp that force Snorlax out. Ditto also appreciates Obstagoon's wallbreaking capabilities, which can allow Ditto to sweep late-game. Diggersby and Indeedee are also good teammates for Ditto thanks to their ability to defeat more passive Pokemon such as Galarian Weezing. Indeedee, in particular, is a treasured teammate, as its Psychic Terrain prevents foes like Bisharp and Mimikyu from revenge killing Ditto with priority moves like Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak.

- Arguably the best revenge killer in the game, Ditto has an important role on Normal-type teams thanks to its ability to revenge kill even boosted threats. (i mean it's pretty dependent on what you copy right)
- Choice Scarf allows Ditto to outpace almost any Pokemon it copies, with the exception of other Choice Scarf users and Hawlucha after Unburden has been activated. (that mon sucks)
- Ditto also acts as a setup deterrent, as sweepers such as Galarian Moltres, Excadrill, and Belly Drum Azumarill cannot set up without being copied and counterswept.
-The EV spread provided is meant to maximize Ditto's HP, while ensuring that Struggle can be used four times before fainting. 252 Defensive EVs minimize Struggle damage from opposing Ditto. 0 Speed is used to ensure Ditto's Imposter ability activates last against other Ditto, ensuring that opposing Ditto can be PP stalled.

- Ditto appreciates the wallbreaking capabilities provided by Obstagoon, Indeedee, and Diggersby as a result of their ability to defeat defensive Pokemon and allow Ditto to sweep late-game. Indeedee in particular is a treasured teammate, as its Psychic Terrain prevents opponents like Bisharp and Mimikyu from revenge killing Ditto with priority moves like Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak.
- It also appreciates the presence of pivots like Heliolisk and Chansey that provide Ditto opportunities to switch in safely. (stealth rock can help with cleaning too)
- Ditto struggles when it copies bulkier foes, so eliminating them quickly is the best route to success. Snorlax assists with this task handily, as it can switch into bulkier foes like Toxapex and Slowbro easily for Ditto. In return, Ditto revenge kills setup sweepers such as Bisharp that otherwise force Snorlax out.

Teammates: Indeedee+Diggersby. I think obsta is more prominent than the other two but let’s word the paragraph helio/Chansey/p2/brav(add brav as a pivot) ->snorlax->obsta -> “optional wall breakers”. diggersby and indeedee are kinda awkward as there forced to run a choice locked set to maximize coverage. So I’d put less emphasis on them



Qc 2/2 so true bestie
