Ditto is a marvelous Special Wall. This moveset is designed to take a nice amount of hits from special attacks while dealing some decent damage. Choice Scarf will increase Ditto's speed by 1.5x but will lock you into the first move you pick. With Imposter, on switch-in Ditto transforms into the opposing pokemon that is facing it. Literally anything that tries to set up with Swords Dance, Shell Smash, Nasty Plot, Agility, Rock Polish, Work Up, Tail Glow, or Dragon Dance are cloned and turned on their creators. While Ditto can't as easily beat Calm Mind, Quiver Dance, or Bulk Up Pokemon it can still put some of them under pressure. Imposter effectively means that at any given moment you are a copy of the Pokemon you were facing when Ditto first entered the field. Besides your HP and held item Ditto becomes your opponent, including all its stat changes. This is where the Choice Scarf come into effect. Imposter will copy your opponent's stats but Choice Scarf guarantees you will be faster than them (unless they also run Scarf, in which case you speed tie).
