While it can transform into anything, each Ditto apparently has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to transformations.
It transforms into whatever it sees. If the thing it’s transforming into isn’t right in front of it, Ditto relies on its memory—so sometimes it fails.
Ditto Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
Ditto is a static encounter at Alola Konikoni City in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Ditto appears at level 29. Prerequisite: LIMITED; The Ditto Five sidequest. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Ditto's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Imposter. This is Ditto's defining trait. It transforms upon entering battle. Every competitive set revolves around it. If your Ditto doesn't have Imposter, it's not worth running.
Honestly, in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Ditto is a tough sell at 288 BST. Plenty of stronger Normal options exist. Fun pick, not a practical one.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Ditto's 288 base stat total fool you. Imposter is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier. Transform with Choice Scarf is the standard set.
