The best way to beat a copy deck?

[Thomas33]

Does anyone know the best way to beat a copy deck with Ditto's and Clefable's?

 

[dld4a]

That depends on if you want it to be tournament worthy or just beat one of your friends at a league.

 

[aron]

one of the best ways to beat ditto in any deck is to turn of the power and hit em up wit a tyrouge . . . igglybuf or goop gas would wokr if u are playing unlimited

 

[Thomas33]

What good would igglybuff do because it disables benched pokemon, and is there nothing against Clefalbe?

 

[ShinAkuma]

igglybuff only turns off benched poke's powers !

 

[treeckodude]

Use Muk ex if you have it he shuts down all powers. Grass is always best when it comes to
screwing your opponent! (hence my name TREECKODUDE)

 

[Thomas33]

So what happens with Firestarter then? Ha?

You play FireStarter in Unlimited? -_________________-

listen,hitmonchan.special punches the clefable for a OHKO.against a ditto?special punch the ditto and attach one plus power.next turn,gust of wind to send the ditto to the bench,turning it back into a ditto with 50damage to knock them out.then you hit whatever else they send up.or,you can use one special punch,next turn switch for a baby like cleffa,and turn the ditto to a cleffa with 40 damage,which knocks it out.look,i suck at playing with dittos,so i learned how to kill them .and who cares if cleffable hits you with your special punch?its not gonna OHKO you like you will it.

It pisses me off when i put my unholo Blaziken and it has no enegy so clefable does 80 damage with one energy and does not discard!

so...why did you lay it down with no energy?against clefable and ditto you never lay down a big hitter without having him set up right.when i played clefable, i loved it when people would play rocket's zapdos.70 damage to them for 1 energy,and none to me.point is,dont just give your opponent awesome attacks to use.

Got it! Magmar Fossil active! HP 70 and small attacks (10 & 20) until i get the energys for Blaze and kick Clefable's butt for 80HP!

The ultimate answer to Clefable and Ditto is the little monster known as tyrogue. Both are weak to him. With a pluspower and a hit, Clefable falls. With a hit (and 30 HP) Ditto falls.

Another annoying way to get rid of ditto is Mysterious fossil. You discard it, but you do not get the prize.

Ditto is very prone to getting gusted back to the bench, hit for 30 damage, then faced with a baby, or many other natural weaknesses of the creature. If you really want to stall against a ditto, throw your own ditto up at them, or a Clefable. Watch them just groan. Elekid works well too, or Igglybuff, in that they have no attacks to copy!

Fossil Magmar is a good choice, but remember don't evolve to Blaziken until your powered or he will gust you out.
