Is Ditto a good Pokemon in Sword and Shield?

Question

I have a level 90 Ditto and I want to know if I should put it in my team.

Comments

What do you want to do with this Ditto? Do you want to battle other people, the Battle Tower, in-game trainers, or something else?

I finished the game so I just run around the wild area looking for pokemon

If that's all you ever do, then I don't think Ditto is useful.

I also use  battle tower

Answer 1

Ditto is okay. In-game, don't use it, seriously. It's a gimmick that accomplishes very little that cannot be accomplished by other Pokemon. You're better off with Snorlax, or Porygon-Z, or one of the many better offensive Normal types out there. Most things work in-game, and it probably will as well seeing as it's level 90, but it's too dependent on the opponent, and opponents in-game usually have garbage-level movesets.

In competitive, it's actually pretty good. With a Choice Scarf, it copies the boosts of an opposing Pokemon and outspeeds them, allowing it to revenge kill prominent threats like Necrozma-DM and Zacian (Crowned or not).

Hope I helped!

I will add it to my team, I think I will just not use it for max raid battles because its defense { at first } is pretty bad, but according to my friends, once you level it up it gets to be a little better at defence

Defense doesn’t really matter too much, since it copies the stats of what it transforms into anyway.

---

ya but if the opponent goes first it might be a one-hit takedown

---

If you can get one with Impostor, that automatically makes it better.

---

mine only has limber

---

If you can get an Ability Patch, that would be good. If this is in-game though, it really doesn't matter at all.

my team does half competitive half in-game, sometimes I just set camp and make curry for the whole time, other times I go looking for a certain pokemon, most of the time on this website I just look up where to find a pokemon.
