Ditto
==================================
Status: Working on Formal Analysis
QC Approval: 0/2 [NONE][NONE]
QC Rejection: 0/2 [NONE][NONE]
Grammar/Prose Check: 0/2 [NONE][NONE]
==================================
[Overview]
<p>Throughout the past four generations of Pokemon, Ditto has been mocked for its horrible offensive capabilities. In the GSC generation, Ditto finally found a purpose through its ability to breed with any and every Pokemon. Since then Ditto has been known as a renown lover, yet still mocked for its inability to battle effectively. This generation has graced Ditto with the chance it had been yearning for since RBY, the ability of Eccentric. Through its new ability, Ditto no longer has to waste a turn in order to transform into its foe. While this seems somewhat basic in thought, in actuality it gives Ditto the potential to be the best revenge killer in the game. Ditto can easily switch into any number of Pokemon and copy the opposing Pokemons moves, ability, stats (aside from HP), and any stat boosts that the opposing Pokemon has gathered up until that point.</p>

Additional Comments
Teammates & Counters
- This is really the best set that Ditto can do.
- Transforms into the opposing Pokemon and gains their stats and moves.
Additional Comments
- Best used in a revenge killer situation as to give it the best chance to use Transform.
- Leftovers in order to give Ditto some survivability.
- Choice Scarf will allow Ditto to choose another move after using Transform. This will make Ditto faster than the opposing Pokemon allowing it to normally attack first.
- Focus Sash normally guarantees that Ditto can Transform into the opponent, but it could possibly leave Ditto at 1 HP relying on a Speed tie to even damage the opponent.
Teammates & Counters
- Encorers can make great teammates for Ditto, as they can encore the opposing Pokemon into a stat boosting move and Ditto can switch in mid-encore in order to gain the boost and Transform in safety. Letting Ditto gain the stat boost can be easily countered by switching out the Pokemon that is setting up, however Ditto will still be able to Transform in safety.
- Ditto's main problem is that it has to waste a turn using Transform, making it completely vulnerable for one turn. During this time Ditto can often be beaten or take serious damage from nearly any Pokemon because of its lackluster 48/48/48 defense.
[Team Options]
- Encorers can make great teammates for Ditto, as they can encore the opposing Pokemon into a stat boosting move and Ditto can switch in mid-encore in order to gain the boost and Transform in safety. The best example of this is Wobbuffet, who can also trap Pokemon with its Shadow Tag ability.
[Optional Changes]
- Quick Powder can be used over any of the listed items. While this will let Ditto get a fast Transform it is not recommended as Ditto loses the speed boost after it transforms.
[Counters]
- Taunters.
- Anything that can do really damage to it before it can transform.
- Anything that can counter the Pokemon it has transformed into.
[Dream World]
- Eccentric allows Ditto to transform as soon as it is switched in, so it no longer has to waste a turn using Transform.
- While Ditto might not seem like a fighter, once it gets its Dream World ability it will be one of the most prominent Revenge Killers in the game when using Choice Scarf.
- Because Ditto transforms on switch in, no nature or EVs besides HP are needed.
- Because of its sheer versatility, Ditto is able to fit well on virtually any team.
