Rating System:
Today I will be adding the rating of zero “0.”
This is a 5 out of 5. Perfect
card in almost every way! Should be in every deck.
This is a 4 out of 5. Good card
and reliable, above average!
This is a 3 out of 5. Ok card,
useable, average card.
This
is a 2 out of 5. Not a very good card, but might be good later.
This
is a 1 out of 5. Meaning this card stinks. Put it back in the pack and send it
to wizards.
This
is a 0 out of 5. Hmm…*thinking* how can I put this in a nice way? I can’t
its just that terrible. Hope no card gets this rating!
Now lets get to the stuff you came here for, my card of
the day. Is………..*Rings the Junker’s door *
It’s Ditto!
Power: "Transform"
If Ditto is your Active Pokemon, treat it as if it were the same
Card as the Defending Pokemon, including type, Hit Points,
Weakness, and so on, except Ditto can't evolve, always has this
Pokemon Power, and you may treat any Energy attached to Ditto as
Energy of any type. Ditto isn't a copy of any other Pokemon while
Ditto is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Strategies with Ditto …
Ditto has so many strategies that I don’t know where to begin!!
Well the first thing I want to say is ditto’s power is truly amazing, he can
transform into ANY Pokemon from any set! This flexibly truly makes ditto unique
and makes him a great card. That’s why he is used in many decks in the pokemon
trading card game!
Some strategies that I have come up with are that Ditto
can absolutely destroy sneasal with Double Colorless energy. Ditto with gust of
wind can pick out the sneasals on the bench. Dittos are good because they are
flexible. So if your opponent has a cleffa, sneasal, wigglytuff, steelix, or
Rockets Zapdos, you could use the cleffa to ‘eeeek’ if you need to draw 7
cards. The other pokemon are just to do damage to them while they are powering
up themselves.
Another little tip, you must
use Scoop up, switch, Berry, Gold berry, or Super Scoop up. The reason you must
have
these trainers in your deck is to avoid a chance of being a victim of “Double
Knock Out.” Double Knock Out is when dittos take about 30 to 50 damage and
your opponent might gust you out for another weaken or low hp pokemon and if
your ditto had 50 damage it would be knocked out. (Your opponent takes a prize.)
Since your opponent hasn’t attacked yet he could attack and knock out the new
active pokemon he gusted out.
The 2nd way you could become a victim of Double Knock is
if your opponent attacks ditto and it gives it 30 damage. Next turn you might
attack etc, then it’s your opponents turn he or she will retreat their active
and will play a baby pokemon or low hp pokemon to their active slot. Since your
ditto has 30 hp and your opponent brings up a cleffa. Kiss that ditto goodbye,
since the opponent still hasn’t attacked and got a prize from bringing up the
baby pokemon they could attack with a powered up pokemon to your new active and
knock that one out too. So that’s
why you MUST
have those trainers in your deck.
Rocket Zapdos a big problem?
With ditto we could get a Double colorless energy on him
and Plasma for 20. Your opponent attacks 20, now attach another Double colorless
energy and attach a Gold berry to ditto! So now you could do electro burn to
Zapdos for 70. Zapdos is knocked out and since you have 20 damage on ditto and
he receives 20 for the electro burn (20+20=40). Ditto could now use his gold
berry and have No damage on him! (NOTE:
Wizards of the Coast ruled that any energy on ditto counts as all energies. So
if you had two double colorless energy, like in my example, that would count as
2 lighting since we only attached 2 energy cards, so that’s why ditto takes
damage but still counts as 4 energies so you could do the attack of electro
burn.)
Good
Combos with Ditto…
Good Combos with ditto are Potion, Full heal, double colorless, and
Recycle Energy all help out ditto and supply energy at the same time. Try to use
Recycle energy with Super Energy removal this really gives the advantage to
ditto in a lot of matches. Gold berries, Berries, Potions, and Super potions are
all great for ditto for avoiding the double knock out.
Gust of winds are the most important part of any ditto
decks because most players wouldn’t let their pokemon get killed by ditto. If
played right you could knock out Movie promo mewtwo, sneasal, wiggly, rockets
zapdos, or any other haymaker pokemon with a single gust of wind.
How to Counter Ditto?
Well the easiest way you could knock out ditto are by
using Base set Electabuzz. With his thunder punch doing 30 to 40 damage you
could do the double knock out trick or shock to take away dittos power. You
could also use a goop gas attack or gust of wind. If you want an anti ditto deck
just use Fossil Muk. Some other pokemon that can knock out ditto very fast are:
Ø
Movie
Promo Mewtwo
Ø
Wigglytuff
Ø
Sneasal
Ø
Steelix
Ø
Erica’s
Jigglypuff
Ø
Scyther
Ø
Rocket’s
Scyther
Ditto is kicking your butt in a match? What do you do?
Well the smart thing to do is “Stall”. By stalling I
mean while your opponent has his ditto in as his active you want to play a
pokemon that will not do as much damage or no damage. An example of that is your
opponent has a Ditto and you bring up Chansey, Clefable, Cleffa, Clefairy,
Ditto, Erica’s Dratini or any other baby pokemon. To lockdown your opponents
ditto he would have to transform into what your active is so if it’s a Ditto
vs. Ditto that match is not going anywhere until someone retreats or does a
trainer like gust of wind or double gust. While the “Stalling/Lockdown” is
happening you will power up a pokemon to knock out the ditto.
Rating?????????
I give this Card a
4
out of 5 ****
Ok this card is very good. The
most impressive thing of this card is that it can transform into any pokemon.
That’s means that whenever a new haymaker pokemon or new Hot card comes out
that ditto could compete right with it and may be better then the original card!
Ditto didn’t get the perfect score of 5 out 5 because the drawback of ditto is
that he could be put in the double knock out situation and that’s not cool,
but still a great card. It’s faster then a sneasal, more annoying then a
slowking, and smaller then a snorlax it’s Ditto!!!
See you guys Until The Next
