Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Ditto Best Moveset

Best Locations to Catch Ditto in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
walking encounters for Ditto across 4 spots at Lv. 36-38. The catch is that Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby don't share every location, so compare what's available in your version.
Ditto Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Ditto's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Imposter. This is Ditto's defining trait. It transforms upon entering battle. Every competitive set revolves around it. If your Ditto doesn't have Imposter, it's not worth running.
Honestly, in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Ditto is a tough sell at 288 BST. Plenty of stronger Normal options exist. Fun pick, not a practical one.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Don't let Ditto's 288 base stat total fool you. Imposter is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it D-Tier.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Run Imposter on Ditto. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Ditto also gets Limber, but they don't compare.
