Question: Does Ditto copy HP as well? Also, can you discard the Pokemon you used for the Ability at will?

 

[KAZUTO!!!]

^Yes and no. If I Transform into Darkrai EX, I'll have 180 HP. However, once I get Darkrai on it, Darkrai's stuck unless I use something like SSU.

Anyway, this guy adds a lot of consistency to Stage 2 decks and helps surprise drop cards like Dusknoir. Fighting Weakness really sucks though. 70 HP is solid.

7/10

Really a useless card 2/10. Cant think of a single reason to put it into a deck. Not worth the space.

I don't believe we have begun to discover the potential of this card. Who know? Maybe we never will.

7/10

This card has been hyped by players since we first got the scan, however I have yet to see it in a single winning deck as of right now. Mainly I think this is because it has a weakness to Landorus and it doesn't benefit weak basics that need to evolve, it's really gimmicky and it takes up quite a bit of space, so I'm going to give it a 6/10, it can play devastating mind games and could be super in a rogue deck or possibly with Aspertia City Gym, but the games where one could actually pull off a ditto play like that are few and far between...

Ditto is one of those cards that can't be effectively placed in a conventional deck, especially in a format like this, where your starter is optimally a setup Pokemon such as Sebleye, or simply a fast attacking, bulky EX. Playing Ditto in the current format is risking a bad first few turns, where you might not draw your optimum starter to put onto top of Ditto, and at best your making your opponent think about their moves more carefully. Despite this, I think Ditto should be a card that's watched, because it could create some crazy decks in the future. For now, I say 4/10.
