CopyCat

[DarkSpectrum]

With the previous generations of pokemon, there has been a token copycat pokemon.
Ditto with transform
Smeargle with Sketch
and Kecleon with color change.
With Diamond and Pearl, what do you think the new copycat pokemon would be, what battle strategies might it be useful for, and what stats might it gain?
Also, what might these new abilities be called and what moves could it use.

i would like a pokemon wich got the same ability nature and stats as the opponent.

;227; Maybe Item? Since there's been Pokemon, Move, Type and Ability (Trace),
there isn't much else to choose from. Maybe stats but then everyone would use it on Deoxys-FR/Slaking/uber-attack Pokemon so much that it wouldn't be fun to play anymore. Item would work, but no-one would use it because you might have a stalling set and end up CBing Rest. Not fun. But honestly I don't know what would be good, since there aren't that many things left to copy.

What about copying a single move just for that battle?

what about a somekinda Ying&Yang pokemon wich type out of a battle would be normal or psychic and if it's in a battle it's type would always turn into the "opposite" or the effective type of the opponents(sp?) pokemon, like if the opponent would use a Rapidash, this pkmn would turn into a water type, if he would use a Bulbasaur it wouild turn into a fire type etc......

I was thinkingin one ability that all the base power of all attacks matches with the last attack used in it. like the opponent uses earthquake, then water gun´s base power turns 100 (?!). I don´t know what name can have it, beause I´m bad with´em.
(I know, something that´ll never happen)

I liked the item idea, but one item that copies opponent item is more posible.

Err...I think this discussion would belong here.

As for a Pokemon that I had in mind (read: I made it up just now), it'd be somewhat of a spin on Kecleon, but its ability would make its type match its assailant.

A pokémon which if it had no item, would copy the item which the oppenent has would be plain evil ^_^

 

[Pokemoncrazie92]

Maybe we should get a pokemon mix between Smergle and Ditto, A Pokemon that copied all the moves and apperance of the opposite pokemon forever

That might not be totally good though because people would be creating copies of rayquaza and Pokemon with awesome moves

Yah, Halo thar, br0ken.

I want something that would copy Stats when it's been Poisoned, Burned, Paralyzed, or has low HP.

Like:

????
Type: Normal
Ability: Adaptation; Copies opponent's stats when suffering.

Regular Stats: Atk.* Def.* Spec. Def. * Spec. Atk. * HP. **
