How do you use Ditto from Skyridge?

Ditto
50 HP
Basic Pokémon

Poke-Body: Prismatic Body
Each basic Energy card attached to Ditto provides every type of Energy but provides only 1 Energy at a time.

{C} Copy
Choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon’s attacks. Copy copies that attack. This attack does nothing if Ditto doesn’t have the Energy necessary to use that attack. (You must still do anything else required in order to use that attack.)

Weakness : Fighting
Resistance : -
Retreat Cost: (C)

Questions

1. Ditto's Poke-Body

(a) When Ditto has 2 Fighting Energies attached to it, will its Poke-Body let you change them into 2 basic energies? That means 2 Fighting Energies becomes 2 Fire Energies.

(b) In the same situation as (a), can Ditto's Poke-Body change the 2 Fighting Energies into 2 DIFFERENT basic energies? Like 1 Water Energy and 1 Fire Energy?

2. Ditto's Attack

(a) Ditto has 4 Grass Energies attached to it and the defending Pokemon is a Charizard(LC). Ditto copies Charizard's attack, does Ditto discard 2 Grass Energies?

(b) Ditto copies Kabutops(neo2)'s 2nd attack(Hydrocutter). Ditto has 3 energies, must Ditto flip 3 times for Hydrocutter?

If all of this questions is a "Yes", I would consider Ditto to be a very strong Pokemon. And because of its Poke-Body, it could fit into almost any deck.

Scyther is fast, but not as fast as Scizor.

Scyther is strong, but not as strong as Scizor.

Scyther has a few attacks, but Scizor has more attacks.

Scyther is a Grass Pokemon, Scizor is not(HAHAHA!!!)

1. a. The poke-body states that they count as all energies at all times. So you don't get to "Change" them, they already count as all types at all times.

1. b. See above. They're ALREADY all types.

2. a. I would think so.

2. b. Yes.

Ooohhhh, thats's cool! [Cool]

I'm gonna put at least 1 or 2 Dittos in my decks now. [ROFL]

By the way, if anybody doesn't know this, Ditto is only a COMMON Pokemon in Skyridge.

I would still use Fossil Dittos (as I do) because it's almost same as Sky Ditto, except: it is rare and it gets your opponents HPs and Pokepowers/bodys too.

True, but it lets your opponent KO him (fossil) or remove him from the game by bringing up a Baby or a Mysterious Fossil.

At least with the Skyridge one you know you will have 50 HP and can plan accordingly.

About you're 3rd question . I don't think he'll havew to flip 3 coins . You could consider the energies attached to it as if he only had 2 fighting and one of another type (like grass ) .

I not so sure about it . It will be better to hear an expert opinion about it .

(P.S making ditto common makes it even more cooler . But it is true that it can be easily KO'd by a tyrouge and a good player will propobly make sure to have a tleast one discovery tyrouge in it's deck )

No, he'd have to flip 3 coins.
The Fossil Ditto gets to choose the energy types, but the Skyridge ditto gets no choice. The energy is treated like rainbow. All colors at once.

Yes , you're right .

skridge's :

Pokי-Body: Prismatic Body Each basic Energy card attached to Ditto provides every type of Energy but provides only 1 Energy at a time.

Fossil's (shorted):
Pokיmon Power: Transform
... , and you may treat any Energy attached to Ditto as Energy of any type. Ditto isn't a copy of any other Pokיmon while Ditto is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
