Ditto

Ditto sits at an 8.2% single-format usage rate, ranked 22nd, making it one of the most common disruptors in the tier. Every set runs Imposter, with 75% carrying a single blank moveslot and the remaining 25% also slotting Transform; the goal in both cases is to copy an opponent only after it has already boosted or Mega Evolved, and then inherit the payoff. With a flat 48 across every base stat, no immunities other than Ghost, and a Fighting weakness, its role is defined entirely by what it copies rather than its own offenses.

Playstyle：The 96.7% Choice Scarf rate exists so that a copied Ditto outruns the original by one priority bracket, letting it move first after the opponent has already committed to setting up. Focus Sash and Leftovers appear only as 1% fringe picks that bet on surviving the hit that triggers Imposter. The Relaxed 32/2/32/0/0/0 spread at 82.3% spends both speed EVs on bulk so Ditto eats a hit and still transforms. Teammates cluster around Garchomp 17.0%, Corviknight 16.8%, Floette-Mega 16.6%, Samurott-Hisui 16.6%, and Glimmora 16.4%; each of those wants extended turns or stacks boosts, which is exactly the matchup Imposter punishes.

Double-format usage is only 0.28%, ranked 123rd, so Ditto is essentially absent from the metagame. Imposter still leads at 98.5%, but the item spread flattens out compared to singles: Choice Scarf drops to 26.1% while Focus Sash climbs to 50%, with Quick Claw at 13.2% and White Herb and Life Orb each at 2.9%. The pattern reflects doubles being decided across two opposing threats per turn, so copying one leaves the other free to punish Ditto without trade.

Playstyle：No doubles matchup data is available, so the post-Transform role can only be read from item and spread choices. The 50% Focus Sash skew suggests most doubles users treat Ditto as a one-shot copy that dies immediately after, while the 26.1% Choice Scarf keeps the speed-priority copy route alive and the 13.2% Quick Claw represents a fringe bet on outspeeding to Transform first. The Quiet 32/0/0/32/0/0 spread at 32.2% pours everything into special attack, hinting that expected copy targets lean special.
