Strategy Overview

Thanks to Imposter and its ability to copy the foe's stat changes, Ditto serves as an excellent revenge killer. Because of this, its very presence deters sweepers such as Zekrom and Xerneas from setting up. Ditto can fulfill any role of a foe that it copies, such as a revenge killer or a wall. Additionally, Ditto is not affected by the Speed drop that Sticky Web causes after transforming. Despite this, Ditto cannot reliably defeat bulky setup sweepers thanks to its abysmal HP stat and is also countered by Substitute. It also struggles against non-hyper offense teams and as such can only perform well situationally.
