[SET COMMENTS]

• Ditto is a niche revenge killer that can also be used to attempt a reverse sweep, but it must be wary of threats that may counter it with a surprise Terastallization, such as Tera Fairy Miraidon, Tera Fire Koraidon, Tera Ice Iron Bundle, and Tera Water Gholdengo.
• Ditto doesn't add much value to teams on its own outside of helping overwhelm opposing checks. It is also strongly prediction reliant.
• Maximum bulk and minimum Speed allow Ditto to force opposing Ditto to trigger Imposter first and run out of PP quicker.
• Tera Fairy defeats Choice Scarf Miraidon, Koraidon, and Walking Wake that may try to attack it with a Dragon-type move.
• Ditto is rarely a reliable check for reasons explained earlier, so it appreciates support from backup checks, especially for potent threats that it fails to revenge kill such as Swords Dance Chien-Pao, Double Dance Miraidon, and Bulk Up Great Tusk. Thus, teammates like Toxapex, Skeledirge, Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Iron Treads are good picks.
• Ditto's ability to revenge kill many strong threats makes teambuilding flexible, allowing offensive Pokemon like Miraidon, Iron Bundle, Chien-Pao, and Koraidon to fit more easily.

Mention how Ditto is a band-aid in teambuilding; it doesn't make your team stronger against any threat, it just kind of functions as a revenge killer which the opponent knows for sure is choice locked and can thus play around. Nevertheless, it's niche in helping overwhelm opposing checks (copy Miraidon, Draco the Ting-Lu, go to your own Ting-Lu, Draco now kills). Maybe say how reliant it is on prediction?
Everything else on here is 100% correct but I don't think we should oversell this jello.
1/2

Ditto is ditto, I'd further emphasise how ditto is never enough to be secure against any particular threat, and you need a solid backbone to go alongside it.

Aside from that, good job.

QC 2/2.

QC suggested to me that I move what are now the first two dot points to the top of the analysis.

• Additionally, Ditto doesn't add much value to teams on its own but may support overwhelming outside of helping overwhelm opposing checks. (full stop) , however, is It is also strongly prediction reliant.
• Maximum bulk and minimum Speed allow Ditto to be slower than an force opposing Ditto and to trigger its Imposter first, so it runs and run out of PP quicker.
• Tera Fairy defeats a Choice Scarf Miraidon, Koraidon, and Walking Wake that may try to attack it with a Dragon-type move.
• Ditto is rarely a reliable check for reasons explained earlier, and so it appreciates the support from backup checks, especially for potent threats that it fails to revenge kill such as Swords Dance Chien-Pao, Double Dance Miraidon, and Bulk Up Great Tusk.

• Ditto's ability to revenge kill many strong threats makes teambuilding flexible, (add comma) as it can revenge kill many strong threats, so multiple allowing offensive Pokemon like Miraidon, Iron Bundle, Chien-Pao, and Koraidon can to fit more easily.
