I like Ditto better in Gen 1 and 2. When it uses transform, the sprite changes, but the color doesn't. As a kid I thought that made sense and looked cool, seeing each Pokemon as a different color. I'm sure it was a game engine thing, but I wish they made that canon for future games and the anime.

I like the idea of individual specific Ditto having parts of a transformation they struggle with - some always remain Ditto's pink color scheme, some can't do faces, maybe some always do the wrong tail, five-armed Graveler and Machamp, eight-tailed Ninetales, throwback reference to Pokemon Blue Koffing with the face lower down and the Jolly Roger on the forehead, etc.

I imagine the Red strat might be to knock out his pikachu turn one with struggle, then use a mystery berry to get transform pp back on turn two, like leppa strats. Mystery berries restore 5 pp to a move and are located across that little pond just north of Goldenrod. Bulbapedia also says there is one on route 45, but I don't remember that one.

I could see it happen. Transform into Espeon, try to Crit Red’s Espeon with Swifts, and then spam Psychic and Crit Snorlax, Charizard, and Blastoise and then have 1 Psychic PP left for Venusaur. The issue is that Snorlax is probably gonna take 2 Crit Psychics due to its insane Special bulk. And Blastoise is pretty chunky as well. Meaning that you will not have any Psychics left for Venusaur. And Venusaur can easily outlast Ditto with Synthesis Healing, even if it gets its Accuracy ruined by Mud-Slap.

I'd like to mention that I saw a video of someone defeating red with ditto by going in with no PP and holding a mystery berry. They crit the Pikachu, espeon came out and they ate the berry, they transformed into espeon. And from there you use swift and mud slap to defeat espeon and Psychic for everything else. Keep in mind you need a lot of crits and misses but it's theoretically possible.

Ditto is one of those "it seemed like a good idea until ya actually think about it" pokemon. It *really* needs Mimic to give it some options beyond "over level and choose between transform, struggle, or a combination" Maybe Conversion at a reduced PP count as well to mix things up a bit.

Man this video must have been insufferable to make! I just wanna say I appreciate all the hard work you do for us, the audience! One interesting interaction I noticed was with the Unown battles. Your Ditto should have a Dark type Hidden Power due to being genetically perfect. However, with one Unown, it dealt neutral damage to you when you transformed and then your Hidden Power also dealt neutral damage when it should have been Dark damage aka super effective. Meaning when you copy the opponent’s stats, you also copy their Hidden Power type (at least in Gen 2).

So, I’ve got a suggestion here. JRose calls challenges like these, “impossible,” and the rule sets are a bit different. More lenient to be sure. With Pokémon like Ditto, where it’s obvious they’re going to take more than 3 hours, I think you should be able to bring rare items, like the Metal Coat, into the game. I suggest this because a Pokémon taking that long to finish isn’t going to dramatically affect the rankings no matter what you do. No matter what, love the content!

I have to wonder, I know this is an old video, but in the fight against Red, and through out the game, I noticed you didn't try using a mystery berry in conjunction with ko'ing the first pokemon via crit. I don't remember how Mystery berries work in gen 2, but I thought in future games you're allowed to use Struggle once, then have your pp recovered. This would have given you access to Espeon as a transformation, which would have given you 5 mud slaps, psychics, and swifts to use against Red's remaining team. I'm curious if that would have made it possible to win with save states, given access perfect luck for crits and accuracy drops/misses.

Ok hear me out. If you transformed into pikachu vs red and got full para thunders that also crit, then when youre out of thunders you struggle from that point, could you do it?

As far as I understand, one other relevant stat survives transforming, besides HP: the user’s level is kept, which is used in damage calculation, so a higher-level ditto can do more damage while transformed into the same pokémon with the same Attack. It’s small relative to the gains from actually gaining Attack from one’s level-ups, but it can help a bit. Not so much in this run where transforming was almost never an option, though.

I do wonder what time Ditto could put in (up to Red, anyway) using metal powder. Given that it's basically eviolite, it would speed up a lot of (but not the worst of) the areas where it struggled (pun not intended, but I'm keeping it). It should even be able to beat Blue provided Rhydon doesn't use Sandstorm. It's just a shame its HP is just shy of being even theoretically possible to beat Red, meaning it's still an exercise in futility.

34:58 - so fun fact, this change was due to the fact that you used to be able to softlock the game with low struggle recoil if you faced a wobbuffet holding leftovers with your own leftovers wobbuffet in Gen 3….

Yet, they nerfed Shadow Tag in Gen 4 to where both Shadow Taggers can switch out. I guess that’s to truly end stally situations like 2 Blisseys Struggling each other.

Wobbuffet fact: It has its own item in Pokemon mystery dungeon, Wobbu-Sweat wich boosts attack wich is untypical for a pokemon that cant attack in the mainline games of that gen.

Part of me wonders if they could revamp transform so that you can choose one of the last 4 pokemon you fought as your pool of transformations. Probably would be too abusable, but I feel like there is a way to make it more interesting. The Morph ability in later generations definitely helped though!

Shez le Feck! I knew Ditto was nowhere near as good as its animated counterpart, but this is straight up embarrassing. It did pretty well in certain places, however it isn't tough enough to go all the way. Perhaps Ditto would be an interesting addition to Clay Fighter. Perhaps a baby Pokémon competition to fill in some of the lower end of the board. Or Shuckle, perhaps? Hoothoot? Take a breather. You deserve it!
