Ditto is an interesting Normal-typed Pokemon. It's a pretty standard sight to see Ditto out in the 6th generation battlefield. Ditto's only type-related weakness is Fighting.
Ditto is a fabulous Physical Sweeper. It tries to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Choice Scarf will increase Ditto's speed by 1.5x but will lock you into the first move you pick. Life Orb boosts the power of Ditto's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Imposter, on switch-in Ditto transforms into the opposing pokemon that is facing it.
♦ Transform is a status move (copies target's stats, moves, types, and ability).

Ditto is a sensational Special Wall. This moveset is designed to take a considerable 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).
♦ Transform is a status move (copies target's stats, moves, types, and ability).

Movepool
Wondering what moves can Ditto learn? Here is the list of moves this Pokemon can learn in this selected generation. Sort and organize the learnset by move type, category, accuracy, and power. Bolded moves will gain the same-type attack bonus (STAB) if this Pokemon uses them.

Extended Move Details:Additional move information such as Risk versus Reward Statistics or Move power versus specific type-matchups
Damage Modifiers:
Type-matchup: Sort through and determine which moves would best work versus an opponent of the typing you select.

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
