[SET COMMENTS]

• Choice Scarf Ditto fills a role as a revenge killer with a chance to reverse sweep entire teams. Its presence discourages setup from foes such as Zacian-C, Mega Salamence, and Primal Groudon. Its ability to generate endless PP also helps against stall teams.
• In the rare case there is a Ditto mirror, the EVs, IVs, and nature maximize the chance that the opposing Ditto’s Imposter ability activates first, thus causing it to run out of PP first.
• Tera Ghost allows Ditto to block Extreme Speed from Arceus, since it cannot OHKO Arceus with Extreme Speed or Tera Ghost Arceus with Shadow Claw at +2 from full, while Arceus can at the expense of Tera Normal thanks to Ditto’s low HP stat.
• Tera Fairy provides a resistance to Sucker Punch and Foul Play, making it harder for Yveltal and Arceus-Dark to revenge kill Ditto. Tera Fairy also provides a useful immunity to Dragon-type moves, letting Ditto soft check Eternatus and Palkia-O.
• Tera Dark also resists Sucker Punch and Foul Play while also providing a resistance to Marshadow’s Shadow Sneak. Thanks to Tera Dark’s immunity to Psychic, it allows Ditto to absorb powerful attacks such as +1 Light that Burns the Sky from Ultra Necrozma and Psycho Boost from Deoxys-A.
• Hidden Power Ice allows Ditto to hit Zygarde and Mega Salamence with a super effective move in the rare case Ditto copies a Marshadow with Hidden Power.
• Ditto should be swapped in carefully, as any unnecessary damage can compromise its role. Due to its low HP stat, Ditto struggles defensively even when transforming into walls such as Chansey.
• Ditto greatly helps in the hyper offense matchup by restricting the opponent from setting up in addition to Imposter taking away Sticky Web's Speed drop, keeping teammates such as Eternatus, Ho-Oh and Yveltal from being overwhelmed by boosting threats such as Primal Groudon, Zacian-C, and Ultra Necrozma.
• Ditto can be used to greatly help in the stall matchup thanks to its ability to generate endless PP. Ditto stays healthy by copying recovery moves from Chansey, Dondozo, and Arceus-Dark. Ditto also increases its longevity by copying abilities such as Natural Cure from Chansey and Regenerator from Ho-Oh, and Alomomola.
• Ditto is a good fit on balance teams, as it helps Defoggers such as Ho-Oh and Yveltal from being overwhelmed by hyper offense threats such as Primal Groudon and Ultra Necrozma. In return, Ho-Oh and Yveltal keep entry hazards off the field, since Ditto can easily get worn down by them.
• Teammates such as Primal Groudon and Zygarde are free to use more offensive sets thanks to Ditto being able to check threats such as Zacian-C, Eternatus, and opposing Primal Groudon for them. In addition, Zygarde appreciates Ditto allowing it to run a specially defensive set for Arceus-Water instead.
• Due to being locked into one move, Ditto can be countered by a surprise Tera from threats such as Tera Fairy Eternatus and Tera Ghost Arceus, so another form of reliable revenge killing such as Arceus and Choice Band Marshadow is appreciated.

[SET COMMENTS]

• Choice Scarf Ditto fills a role as a revenge killer with a chance to reverse sweep entire teams. Its presence discourages set up from foes such as Mega Salamence, Arceus-Ground, and Primal Groudon. Mention its use against stall teams by PP stalling, briefly, that will be covered in more detail in later sections as instructed.
• In the rare case there is a Ditto mirror, the EVs, IVs, and Nature allow Ditto to force opposing Ditto’s to activate Imposter first and thus PP stall first.
• Tera Ghost allows Ditto to block Extreme Speed from Arceus since it cannot OHKO Arceus with Extreme Speed at +2 from full, while Arceus can at the expense of Tera Normal thanks to Ditto’s low HP stat.
• Tera Fairy provides a resistance to Sucker Punch and Foul Play, making it harder for Yveltal Arceus Dark to revenge kill Ditto. Tera Fairy also provides a useful immunity to Dragon-type moves, letting Ditto soft check Eternatus and Palkia-O.
• Tera Dark also resists Sucker Punch and Foul Play while also providing a resistance to Marshadow’s Shadow Sneak. Mention its utility against Psyspam teams, namely preventing Ultra Necrozma to OHKO with Light that Burns the Sky after a Dragon Dance
• Hidden Power Ice allows Ditto to hit Zygarde and Mega Salamence with a super effective move in the rare case Ditto copies a Primal Groudon Marshadow with Hidden Power for coverage. Marshadow is the main user of it from the look of things, Primal Groudon is a far more niche one and shouldn't be mentioned
• Ditto is a good fit one balance and bulky balance "bulky balance" is rather weird, instead just mention something among the lines of it fitting in teams with defensive tools ranging from balance to stall teams as it helps Yveltal and Ho-Oh rephrase this part a bit to just focus on Defoggers in general, then mention Yveltal and Ho-Oh as examples, these are not the only ones from being overwhelmed by hyper offense threats such as Primal Groudon and Ultra Necrozma. This bullet point should be moved into the teambuilding tips (aka, below the usage tips) as this doesn't pertain usage tips but rather what teams it fits best on
• Ditto should be swapped in carefully, as any unnecessary damage can compromise its role. Mention its low HP limiting its defensive utility even when it transforms into walls
• Ditto can be used to greatly help in the stall matchup thanks to its ability to generate endless PP. Ditto stays healthy and status free by copying recovery moves from Chansey, Arceus Dark, and Dondozo and Natural Cure from Chansey. Separate this phrase into copying recovery moves from the stall mons mentioned above, then go over abilities such as Chansey's Natural Cure, plus mention there it copying Regenerator from Ho-Oh and Alomomola
• Ditto can quickly get worn down by hazards, so hazard removal from Yveltal or Ho-Oh greatly helps Ditto fill its role. You may want to merge the premise of this bullet point with the one above that's being requested to be moved to the usage tips, to minimize redundancy, namely on the bit regarding Defoggers
• Due to being locked into one move, Ditto can be countered by a surprise Tera from threats such as Tera Fairy Eternatus and Tera Ghost Arceus, so another form of reliable revenge killing such as Arceus and Choice Band Marshadow is appreciated.

[adem]

in the ho line change “transform” to “Imposter”
add on zacc to the mentions in the line abt freeing up sets, since thats a big reason why its fire
can maybe add on “specially defensive” sets too specifically for zyg in that line as well

2/2 after this, great work
