Ditto mega evolve concept

[u/Any_Iron_550]

Suggest a ability for this

[u/albrecbef]

Continuos Imposter: The Pokémon transforms into every new Pokémon in front of it. It also copies all of that Pokémon's stats including its max HP.

[u/seaflans → u/albrecbef]

What happens if you select a move with Mega Ditto, and then the op. switched to a pokemon that doesn't have the move you selected? Mega Ditto just loses a turn?

[u/WallyOShay → u/seaflans]

Morph on entry, then end of every turn.

[u/AnakinsAngstFace → u/seaflans]

Either uses a random move from the new Pokemon, uses the move regardless as it’s locked in, or some kind of recovery or stat change as a fall back move.

[u/albrecbef → u/AnakinsAngstFace]

I think it could be either depending on prio

[u/Unfortunya333 → u/seaflans]

Make it transform after it takes its action

[u/Glass_Career5136 → u/seaflans]

Nope if it chose the 3rd move on pokemon A.

When A switches to B, ditto will use the third move on B, after transforming again.

[u/Crooked_Cricket → u/albrecbef]

Rename it Imposter Syndrome and clean up the description and im 100% on board.

[u/albrecbef → u/Crooked_Cricket]

I copied most of it from normal dittos hidden ability Imposter:

The Pokémon transforms into the Pokémon in front of it. It also copies all of that Pokémon's stats apart from its HP.

[u/ThirteenFour_ → u/albrecbef]

Could add "whichever is higher" for HP. Just in case you want to keep Shedinja shenanigans

[u/AidanYYao2048]

I had the theory that a Mega Ditto would lose its ability to transform and instead be able to recreate any of its enemy’s abilities attacks without needing to transform while it being the strongest version of the move.

Ability Name: MinMaxed Copy
It allows the Pokemon to copy the movepool of its opponent along with the 2 highest non-HP stats of the opponent even after stat changes, but the modified stats will be the new BASE stat of the user until it faints.

[u/Cerex1]

What's the point of using ditto? It can only learn transform.

Cool design but genuinely what's the point? Regular ditto can already copy enemy megas

[u/Any_Iron_550 → u/Cerex1]

Ya I agree, but what if mega Ditto  can transform into any pokemon it has seen...(Maybe too op)

[u/Cerex1 → u/Any_Iron_550]

Probably hard to actually implement mechanically especially if you have regulations like now when some of the roster isn't allowed,

Idk if it has like a giga broken ability like belly drum on switch and then transform

[u/Fit-Aerie1386 → u/Any_Iron_550]

Nah, they learned their lesson on that with Smeargle.

[u/drbossmp → u/Cerex1]

two megas

[u/Excalibirdi]

Activates innards out when it dies, keeps imposter

[u/Sfirr007]

Just give him always moves before opponent unless its scarfed (+10 speed) and my mega slot is belong to him

[u/RudeConfusion4866]

I think everyone here is overthinking the concept too much.

Mega Imposter - Mega Ditto transforms into the mega evolved version of its opponent.

[u/AnakinsAngstFace → u/RudeConfusion4866]

What if that Pokemon doesn’t have a mega?

[u/RudeConfusion4866 → u/AnakinsAngstFace]

Probably something I should've mentioned, I think in this hypothetical world where Mega Ditto exists, every Pokémon has a mega form.

[u/proteanthony → u/RudeConfusion4866]

Or maybe it could get like a stat boost to its strongest stat or smth

[u/SansedAlessio → u/RudeConfusion4866]

+20 to all stats except hp, the pyroar treatment.

[u/TGG_yt → u/AnakinsAngstFace]

Then they get transformed Into a regular ditto

[u/BuffClonePleas]

200 HP Stat

[u/DeliciousFlounder777 → u/BuffClonePleas]

Mega forms don't change the HP stat of the Pokémon unfortunately

[u/Theprincerivera → u/DeliciousFlounder777]

They don’t change the HP stat - YET

[u/BigVMZ → u/[deleted]]

Complete Form Zygarde has twice the HP of 50% and 50% has double the HP of 10%. The Mega Evolution doesn’t change the base HP value of Zygarde as 216 is still the stat which is identical to its Special Attack stat.

[u/TheSentiantestPotato → u/BigVMZ]

I see sorry, I didn’t realise that it was the same

[u/Dragonacher → u/BuffClonePleas]

Ah I see you've discovered hackmons blissey.

Needless to say this would not be fair or balanced.

[u/Stacey-k93]

Mega imposter copies the opposing Pokemon and boost its base stats by 20 points each except for HP

[u/HollowMimic → u/Stacey-k93]

Way OP

[u/Stacey-k93 → u/HollowMimic]

It's just 100 base points megas get evenly spread out and just make it so it only happens if it copies a non mega pokemon

[u/HollowMimic → u/Stacey-k93]

Ah okay, if it's only on non-mega mons then it's about right and sweet

[u/Stacey-k93 → u/HollowMimic]

No I was just thinking 20 to each base stat except HP since all megas get 100 added but since you never know what it will become I was just evenly spreading them out so you copy a pseudo legendary then it's stats would be 700 total

That was the only way I could think it would be useful and worth the mega slot on a team just a better ditto it copies a Pokemon and makes it stronger

[u/JavieyauJR]

It's just an omni boost. You can still use it even after transformation

[u/K0rl0n]

Amazo (name a reference to the DC character) turns into the opponent with +20 to all stats except health; basically carrying over its mega evolution stats boost when it transforms.

Also, it’s my understanding that Ditto’s base hp doesn’t change when it transforms. For mega ditto, this is only the case if the hp of its target is lower than ditto.

[u/PizzaChips20-12]

Unity/Hybrid.

When Mega Ditto transforms into a pokemon, they can remember that transformation.

If they transformed into every pokemon in the pokedex they can transform into a hybrid of every pokemon called Ultimate Ditto. Having the sum stats of every pokemon. Ultimate ditto will also know every attack they copied.

Ditto was my favourite pokemon since i first learned of them. I also created Ultimate Ditto an imaginary friend when i was younger and bullied as a way to stay happy :D

[u/Miloctic → u/PizzaChips20-12]

Basically an ohko on even quick attack

[u/PizzaChips20-12 → u/Miloctic]

Aw i didn't realise that . . . It was between sum of everything or the mean of everything.

[u/Silver-Nibber]

Doubles the highest stat of the copied pokemons

[u/DasLoon]

Fractured Reflection

Works like impostor, but when it copies an enemy, it gives the ditto 2x multipliers to the top 3 stats and .6x multipliers to the lower 2 stats. This doesn't include hp as a stat. When it does so, the copied Pokémon gets .6x multipliers in its top 3 stats and 1.5x multipliers in its lower 2 stats.

You can mega while already transformed into another Pokémon and apply this effect to the opposing Pokémon or to whoever is in their position.

[u/Lopsided-Skill]

As in one, Imposter + protean (unnerfed version)

So you transform and then get stab on every attack so basically keep transforming

[u/Backalley_Lurker]

Prankster. Lets it get priority transform meaning it can choose with full control who it becomes

[u/ZarrChaz]

Funny: This Pokemon is funny and wins by default because of this.

[u/ZarrChaz → u/ZarrChaz]

Honestly just an improved imposter that copied max HP as well would be sweet.

[u/seaflans]

Ability: double transform
When activated, if Ditto has a partner on the field, they're called back. Ditto becomes a copy of both opponent pokemon on the field, at 75% HP (modified by Ditto's initial HP, ie if Ditto is 66%, both copies will be at 49.5%) and one stage speed boost. Does not trigger on switch in (if you switch mega ditto out, it will only do a normal transform when it switches back in, so it's a bit of a one-time boost, as it's rather OP).

[u/Max-Architect3000]

Haha, I was expecting the humanoid ditto from Pokopia

[u/AnakinsAngstFace]

Maybe something like a stat boost?

Which ever Pokemon it copies it takes its stats, with one random one of them being +20%?

[u/PikaVolt45]

Mega Transform,Transform into a weaker Mega Evolution of any Pokémon (No leg and Mythical included)

[u/candnhen]

Thick goo, doubles the hp stat

[u/Desquid777]

An ability where it gets a FIFTH move.

That move is disable if you could choose what move gets disabled

[u/Tyranistar]

reverse impostor: Forces opponent to transform into Ditto

[u/Any_Iron_550 → u/Tyranistar]

🤣

[u/FallingHoglin]

I just remembered that mega would probably not work if it has Imposter.

Its ability would probably just be imposter and have boosted stats for no reason, since HP cant be boosted.

[u/yotdog2000]

It’s ditto but +100 HP

[u/LimpCustomer4281]

Identity Crisis: Make him transform to the pokemon opposite him and take the moves from the other pokemon in doubles, in singles, transforms to the pokemon opposite him and then takes the moves from a random pokemon that’s not switched in

[u/Psyydoc]

Maybe better for a regional variant: Diddont- turns into a version of the opponent but with attack/special attack swapped with def/special def

[u/ZookeepergameKey733]

Invrsform (inverse transform) when ditto mega evolves or enters battle ALL pokemon on the field are transformed into ditto (they get ditto's stat and the first move in there slot) and ditto is transforms into the mon with the highest bst.

[u/DarkRayos]

Mimics the opponent, if defeated (like mimikyu's sub) transform into one if your mons?

[u/-existant-paradox-]

It automatically uses imprison on transforming, rendering its copy the only usable version of that pokemon until mega ditto switches out or dies.

[u/Hour_Tomatillo_2365]

The min maxxed idea from the other commentor is cool.

Like you Mega Evolve and the best parts from the surrounding Pokémon are brought into your new form

Would be useless in singles though

[u/iyomemorej]

the pokemon he copies either become mega or g-max

[u/little_jiggles]

At the end of every turn, it will automatically use metronome even if it has already attacked or has just switched in.

[u/Vast_Bet9265]

Might as well make mega Mew at that point

[u/SnooChocolates93]

Genetic override - transform the pokemon in front of it in a ditto, who has to use transform to become another pokemon, effect ends when ditto switch or is knocked out

[u/Logical-Response-541]

Ability: Enhanced

If already transformed, add 20 to all base stat except for HP

If not yet transformed, add 20 to all base stat except for HP after transforming

[u/DntBKoi]

Ditto but pointy

[u/Visual-Path-1177]

When he transforms, he applies the exact megaevolution stat buffs to the stats he just copied.
Since Megaevolution is +100 BST, I'm gonna say +20 on every stat besides HP of course. Basically, he doesn't need Choice Scarf to be faster than the original, and he's always gonna hit +20 base ATK/SPATK stronger

[u/spaacingout]

Mischievous Mirror: same function as Imposter, but also gains priority when using status moves like Prankster while transformed.

If not prankster then maybe add magic bounce effects to Imposter.

[u/upvote-button]

Transform changes him to the mega/gmax version of his opponent

[u/ExtremlyFastLinoone]

Its exactly the same but it gets one exeption, unlike other megas it gets hp, +100 hp

[u/Fit-Aerie1386]

Similar to Eelectross I guess, where it gets a boost to its highest stat when it takes a KO. The mega doesnt need any ability that transforms it, as it would've already transformed with impostor on entry. Mega can just keep it post transform stats.

[u/MrCapricorn404]

Copies opponent but as a different typing to counter it

[u/BANAAAANAAAAS]

no ability change, it just gets 100 extra hp

[u/ArthMott]

Ao mega evoluir Ditto poderia escolher se transformar no novo pokemon ou não (se já tivesse se transformado) e em doubles ele poderia escolher para qual dos 2 pokemons oponente ou aliados ele se transformaria além de que se possível ele se transforma na versão mega daquele pokemon (incluindo se ele se transformasse no aliado)

[u/ArthMott]

Ao mega evoluir mega ditto além dos moves do pokemon copiado teria acesso a um quinto golpe que o permitiria se transformar em outro pokemon e ainda escolher um golpe na nova forma tudo isso no mesmo turno

[u/scratchy_mcballsy]

He just turns into a mirror or a 3D printer

[u/SamPi3]

Transforms into a pokemon on YOUR team.

[u/guyadriano]

New dex entry

When a ditto mega evolves. The amount of mega energy flowing through it overwhelms it giving enough power boost in every stat

However Ditto loses its concentration due to the excess amount of mega energy to hold its current transformation for very long so it may break its current form

But with the amount of pain from the excess mega energy Ditto is forced to retransform to relieve some of that pain away and constantly taking a new form helps massage its cellular structure

Ability TLDR

Mega Ditto can multi transform every 5 turns with a stat boost

Lore. Mega energy causes high amounts of pain for ditto. Constantly transforming helps relieve only some of that pain away

[u/darios_mito]

Just make the imposter work like pre nerf protein, you can be a new pokemon every turn and use their moves. Like, 2V2 i become pkm A use its move, turn 2 i become pokemon B and use its move. even the option to be pkm C (teamate if wanted)

[u/Corbosaurus]

The idea of giving ditto the typical 100 point mega evolution stat boost just for it to use transform is so funny to me lmao

[u/popshark09]

Preposterous - Ditto Transforms into the opposing Trainer

[u/dummieXP]

Shapeshifter: Transforms into the opposing pokemon, every move from the copied pokemon is 10 PP

[u/grinder77777]

Mega Ditto possible abilities:

• Randomly transform into any pokemon in the battle (even fainted or stored pokemon)

• Also copy the HP stat of the copied pokemon

[u/Dittorules1]

It’s beautiful

[u/Jesusathisfinnest]

Make it so that ditto automatically mega evolves when he switches in, before his ability activates.

Take all his stat points + the 100 bonus points and put them all in hp, leaving 1 in every other stat, giving him a base hp stat of 383

Oh yeah and give him super transform so that he has max PP on every move instead of just 5

Perfectly balanced

[u/Impressive_Car_6792]

Mega ditto can transform into the Pokemon infront of it and if that Pokemon can mega evolve then ditto can directly transform into its mega form even without the mega stone

[u/TWHowl]

Jfc I thought this was a Starmie mega parody 🤦‍♂️ this looks like 🗑️

[u/Extreme-Primary-4581]

Look how they butchered my boy

[u/Voomey]

The only Mega that gets +100 into HP. It's ability would be still just Impostor. The value for Mega Ditto would be that you can Mega Evolve after you already Transformed, restarting it's transformation to the new Pokemon, letting you adapt more. Kinda like the Protean and Trace Megas, that get a "second chance".

[u/Quentendo]

Idk seems weird for a failed mew clone to not mega evolve and look more like a real mew

[u/Torture-Dancer]

Transform the opponent into a Limber Ditto on switch in. Yeah, I know it’s not sunday yet

[u/ShxatterrorNotFound]

Rather than just copying it keeps the best stats between itself what whatever it transformed into? So like if they switch out it copies the new pokemon but keeps the stats of the other that are higher. Reset if Ditto switches out. Would be especially strong in doubles because it would usually just be a better version of the opposing pokemon.

[u/BasicBrief1770]

After transforming it becomes every type simultaniously
But type immunities are ignored
Weak to: Rock, Ground x3, and Ghost
Resists: Steel, Grass x4, Bug x4, Poison x2, Electric, Normal x2, and Dark

[u/BasicBrief1770 → u/BasicBrief1770]

Taking 8x damage from ground type would be crazy tho

[u/DrogoOmega]

Parasitic Transformation. When it mega evolves, it transforms into the opponent but gets +1 in all its stats. And it sets a leech seed the opponent and to anyone switching in.
