The Ditto thing. Ditto can Transform into Ditto, but you can't transform into a transformed Pokemon. So if two Dittos duke it out, whichever Ditto goes first will eternally Transform into the opposing Ditto, since Transform's PP will keep getting reset, whereas whichever Ditto goes second will fail to Transform because the first Ditto is considered a Ditto transformed into a different Ditto, causing the second Ditto to eventually run out of PP and begin to Struggle.
