Well then that pretty much proves that ditto isn't as worthless as people said.

POKEMASTERALEX August 22nd, 2007 6:15 PM

definately, if we aren't mis-interpreting this somehow ditto could become MUCH more used

Ooka August 22nd, 2007 6:16 PM

I would just throw on a focus sash with max speed and see what it does.

Shiraishi August 22nd, 2007 6:17 PM

Uh, ditto needs quick powder though. If he doesn't transform before the opponent moves..bb ditto.

Punishment August 22nd, 2007 6:20 PM

With Quick Powder at max speed Ditto gets an impressive 428. That outruns tons of Pokemon.

POKEMASTERALEX August 22nd, 2007 6:20 PM

yeah he wouldn't be much good if all he had was one hp, I think he needs the q powder. The fact that Metal Powder is the rarer of the two, but is seemingly worse..

It sure does, and I have one of each nature at least, who thought everyone's favorite breeding machine could be everyone's favorite suprise in competitive battling

Ooka August 22nd, 2007 6:22 PM

Okay then, you say that 1 hp does no good? Well then let's say you try to transform into garchomp, what do you think the person is going to do? Let's just say it's either 1 hp or none hp.

POKEMASTERALEX August 22nd, 2007 6:24 PM

I definately know what you mean, but if he doesn't have quick powder he has no chance of being fast enough to tranform

Ooka August 22nd, 2007 6:26 PM

What I am saying is if he doesn't have focus sash, he won't get a chance to transform.

But then at 428 Speed with Quick Powder he will get to transform unless it is against a Ninjask or something. Hopefully Ditto also resists the incoming attack.

Ooka August 22nd, 2007 6:28 PM

He won't survive a dragon claw from a garchomp if that's what it's transforming into. That's all I'm saying.

POKEMASTERALEX August 22nd, 2007 6:28 PM

ah also true. Man I want to check the IVS of all my ditto now lol

Waffle-San August 22nd, 2007 6:30 PM

if you use quick power then you could transform first, copy that Garchomp's defenses and survive. Punishment worked its speed out to be 428 then. That out runs a normal Gachomp.

Edit: Wow that was a lot of posts in a short amount of time.

Thus Ditto is worthless again like everyone says. :(

Ooka August 22nd, 2007 6:33 PM

A garchomp can't survive another garchomps dragon claw.

Waffle-San August 22nd, 2007 6:34 PM

I was imagining a Eathquake.....

sims796 August 22nd, 2007 6:35 PM

Well, we have him for breeding. So-don't hurt me-I would call him one of the most useful pokes around.

POKEMASTERALEX August 22nd, 2007 6:36 PM

no doubt! I can really see potential in the gelatanous blob

I meant competitive battling wise. XD

Ditto is such a pimp though. >.<

If someone was smart they know that ditto's only move was transform and use a dragon claw.

true true very ture, is that 25 characters yet?

sims796 August 22nd, 2007 6:44 PM

Hold up. You'd be suprised the amount of idiots I've played online. Not on this site, of course. One jerkarse used a Wailord against Electivire BECAUSE HE THOUGHT WATER BEATS ELECTRIC. I can understand an honest mistake but...damn.

I don't mean to use Ditto in the hopes your opponent is a complete morron, but we should acknowledge those fools. After all, they give us a free win on our card.

Waffle-San August 22nd, 2007 6:50 PM

Laughing to hard to reply.

Exactly...Ditto would be an Uber if that was the case.

LOL! Noob...he thinks water beats electricity <:}

c_dog August 22nd, 2007 11:46 PM

actually ditto could still be usable if someone were to pass it a substitute. it's fun and if pulled off correctly it's pretty cool, but obviously you could pass substitutes to better pokemon, say a focus puncher.
