Ditto holds a 2.07% usage rate at the 1760 Singles bracket (rank 55), functioning as the format's premier blanket check against setup sweepers. Imposter copies the target's entire stat spread, moves, and ability immediately upon switching in. The Smogon council rates it C (community nominated B), noting that many teams are naturally Ditto-proof through disruption, and that a Choice Scarf occupies a premium item slot. However, it remains a decisive tech against Mega Gyarados and Mega Lopunny setup lines.
Playstyle:Imposter is used by 99.4% of sets. Choice Scarf appears on 79.5%, ensuring the copied form always outspeeds the original and can revenge-kill before the target gets another move. HP/Defense EVs (Relaxed or Bold, max HP / max Def) maximise survivability after the transform. Build articles describe the core interaction: Scizor-Mega uses U-turn to pivot Ditto in after the opponent has set up, letting Ditto mirror their boosted state. The ideal bring is against any Mega setup sweeper (Mega Kangaskhan, Charizard-Mega-X).
Ditto records just 0.18% usage in Doubles (rank 137). In a two-on-two format, Imposter's value is diluted: the Transform target is forced, the opponent can switch out the setup sweeper before Ditto can mirror the boosts, and the 49.8% win rate indicates no systematic advantage. 7.1% of Doubles sets run Limber instead of Imposter, an unusual choice that further underscores how poorly the standard game plan translates to the format.
