just like the title says
would you ever use a ditto in a wifi battle?

I would never use ditto in a battle, but I would (and have used)use a magikarp in a wifi battle

magikarp> ditto

Obviously not in wi-Fi battles, but in-game, I've done perfectly fine with one. But saying Magikarp is better? I'd rather stick aluminum spears with firey hot cafeteria food inside of my nose before saying Magikarp is better. Bad, bad, bad comparison.

Maybe. If the other person are using semi-weak pokemon.

With Metal Powder, it'd be harder to kill it :)

Of course I did. Ditto is rare, powerful, and insanely awesome.
I believe this is the first time we have agreed on something. Let this day be remembered.

I've used Ditto in many battles as soon as it came out of the daycare after having so many babies lol

Ditto used Fish Legs!

It's super effective!

never ever Ditto is a pokemon which made had a bad egg! my friend gave it to me with a bad egg!

75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

I wouldn't. A Ditto can both save you and screw you over in a battle. Using one is a matter of strategy- after all, what's the point of transforming into the same Pokemon and having all the Ditto's moves (inherited from the mimicked Pokemon) be ineffective? The only advantage that could have is if the Pokemon owned a move which was fatal to itself (read: Starmie with Thunderbolt) or if the enemy Trainer switched out the mimicked Pokemon weak to the previous Pokemon's moves.

Confused yet?

Well, against Dragon types, yes. Also, using ditto against a water type pokemon with only water moves doesn't only put you at an extreme disadvantage, it does the same to them, so there's a certain strategy in using ditto.


I was prone to hide things because I was afraid that someone would unlock all my secrets.


I didn't realize that someone would be me.
