Ditto Question

[Kamen Rider Kabuto]

Does a Ditto's nature matter?? I mean if it transforms into a Pokemon does its nature really matter if it transforms into another Pokemon

 

[ice sandwitch]

well dont use ditto it dies before it transforms,and yes it probably matters get a speed+ nature to transform before you get 1hkoed

Best Nature would be Bold (+Def, -Atk) or Impish (+Def, -SAtk) so you can actually survive to Transform (and with Metal Powder, you can survive unSTABed Brick Breaks and stuff).

Nature doesn't matter after the Transformation.

I was thinking of giving it Quick Claw

Its a very unrealiable item. Don't use it, better to follow aragornbird's suggestions.

No.

Metal Powder increases Ditto's Defense and Special Defense by 50%. It's the only item you should use on it.

I don't have Metal Powder, And I'll check the nature of my Ditto

EDIT: Its Sassy Nature, Will that work?? I don't know what Sassy Nature Does

 

[aragornbird]

Metal Powder is attached to some wild Dittos so you'll just have to catch some more.

+SDef, -Spd. It's okay, but Bold/Impish would be better.

Well it turns out my Ditto is already level 68, so I guess after I evolve my Slugma (For Dex reasons) I'll start leveling it up the other 22

... actually, timid is the best nature IMO, with max EVs in HP/Spd. HP because it's the only stat that extra EVs matter in after in after transformation, and timid with max speed to transform before it gets hit, since pretty much any other pokemon has better defensive stats than a ditto.

timid is a little better than jolly because it does less damage to itself if confused.
