I think an ability saying this or the attack saying it uses any energy makes sense. Pokemon TCG also use to have Rainbow Energy so a support card that adds a color of your choice could work in the future maybe too.
@@JoeyDubsJRRight now, that would be absolutely broken, Ditto would be the least of our worries. Misty is Broken and it averages 1 energy. One energy of any type as a supporter would be an auto include in any deck. I think a cool way to buff Multi-type decks is you could choose either of the visible energies. Like if you have a Fire this turn and Lightning next turn, you could choose either one right now, and it would generate a new choice next turn. It would provide a little extra flexibility.
@@pjanderson4876 Smeargle with an ability to pick your next energy could also be an option (not a great one, but good as a cheap filler pokemon for budget players)
Needing multiple energy types is just miserable. The first 6 energies I got in my Dragonite deck were all water. Then in the very next game my opponent nails 5 misty coins on turn one and that was enough pokemon for the day.
lol I think a Ditto ex card should have an Ability, so it doesn’t require energy, where it copies the moves and energy attached of any opposing Pokémon depending where Ditto sits on the board
I think a clever way to make ditto more viable is if it had an ability to take from opponents energy reserve instead of their own still only one energy a turn but you could use opponents and it wouldn’t cycle just copy top energy though this probably makes it a bit op but less op then just matching number of energy it would work well as a flex slot on some teams and be more useable then current as you wouldn’t have to put in multiple energy types and could just fit it into any team you wanted
Ditto is unironically a contender for the worst card in the game right now. I don't think there's any other card that does literally nothing unless you happen to run into a specific deck. Then it still rarely does anything even if you do.
Playing a dual-energy deck feels horrible. It says it's random, sure, but when I get five water energy for my Dragonite and not a single Electric makes them not worth using even as a fun deck.
Surge only gives energy to certain Pokémon. You can't use a Surge card on a Dragonite. The same goes for the Misty card. Dragonite has to obtain energy through normal means.
@@bagonsoul im using a dragonite deck with jolteon and articuno just in case the draws aint hittin and its honestly the most consistent dragonite deck ive used so far
Great job starting with “not S tier deck” I think this is helpful in setting expectations. Love more fun decks that occasionally win. Teaches us more about the game rather than decks that constantly slay (Pikachu, Mewtwo)
3:30 hey that’s me! “Can’t stop running double butterfree” Just pulled off a win with lapras ex, polywrath, and double butterfree on the board. Vs another lapras mirror match up. Didn’t have high enough burst to kill me
The only possible make sense of Ditto, seems to be if you are expecting a mirror match up, such as Pika ex vs Pika ex, or Charizard ex vs Charizard ex. Note that Ditto is not an ex pokemon, so Ditto getting ko-ed only give opponent one point. Also, you can have Ditto stealing opponent's ex pokemon's move. Say, Ditto in Charizard ex mirror match, you send Ditto to steal Moltres ex's Inferno Dance, which let you flip three coins and attach energy to your bench fire pokemon. Due to Ditto having only retreat cost of one, you can x speed next turn and start swinging with your Charizard ex. In Pika ex mirror match, Ditto can adjust depend on what pokemon that opponent throws out. (Pika ex require full bench to work, surely there will be some moves that worth stealing) Like, Zebstrika's Thunder Spear, Zapdos ex's Thundering Hurricane, Raichu's Thunderbolt, Pincurchin's Thundershock, or even Pika ex's Circle Circuit.
running hypno deck with ditto is great. keep 2 on the bench to keep the opponent pokemon sleeping. 9/10 conceded today. btw i also run 2 Fearow and Piggotts with the deck
I finally found someone who loves Ditto like me, I also tried to make a deck with it, I have had some victories, but it's not strong enough to beat the top tier decks, it's a tricolor deck, psychic, water and electric , but I think I will change it to psychic, water and fire, I have suggested to the developers that they improve Ditto, he should be able to copy a skill without having to rely on energies, or that this can be done by a Ditto Ex, I also suggested that for multi-color decks, the player can choose the color before starting his turn, because in a tricolor deck, it's more difficult to get the desired energy.
Try this , 3 energy types use the meta energy like grass , psychic , fire or water any 3 as u want and then run lickytung, tons of damage if ur rng is right then u can use any card to stall and build either licky or ditto if u found matching energy, lickytung itself is quite tanky then use sabrina for switches tho lickytung can one shot anything if u get good rng , run potion ,Giovanni, scope could be good so u know if to build ditto as a big hitter might be coming If u match type with ditto stall using lickytung and build ur ditto then start building the second licky cause dmg tank U can use kangaskhan too
I've been running a colorless Wiggly EX deck with water/electric Ditto specifically in case there's a Dragonite deck where you can steal their stage 1 or 2 attacks
I wish you could tweak the percentage of the upcoming energy types. Like if you're running a lightning and fire deck with mostly lightning types, you'd be able to set lightning energy to like 70% chance of generating.
This is similar to mine, the downside is the energy only 3. everytime I bring water,electric,and psychic and opponent will have grass or poison lol. I'm still thinking a way to improve it. Remember when editing your deck always check your energy saved.
Starmie EX is s smidge below mew2 n Pika. Honestly I’ve been beating pika 4/5 times with starmie, it’s easier to get first agro and energy, 0 retreat cost and can with stand a full pika atk. It’s pretty easy to play around a pika deck with starmie
I thought about how it would be if you just steal from the active pokemon and if that enemy doesnt have enough energy equipped it would deal 0, which would still make it pretty average in this "discard X energy after the attack" meta or do damage for every elektro pokemon on your bench, so these decks cant be hit, what can be is the misty decks, which would still overrun you because you dont have 80 hp on ditto. So even this version wouldnt hit the best decks in the format, the current version ist just horrible unfortunately. The only reason I would consider running Ditto is to trade it for an opponents ex, which it sadly cant, not even in the best case scenario.
15:49 I don't understand, is ur opponent dumb?? Charizard have 4 fire energies and he didn't use Crimson Storm 200 to end your Ditto?? and he's only 1 point away to winning.. why just WHY?? lmaoo
Sad I try but learn in hard way I can’t have the arks even have the same amount of energy and loose my turn trying it, if they can use any energy to ark should be better
So it's a deck that loses to Pikachu EX, the most popular Meta deck in the game, and is slower than the decks it would function against, aka Charizard EX and 3 Mewtwo.
Basically Ditto is only good in one context, and that's if your deck can handle anything but mirror matches. Mutch like in the actual pokemon game, if people start running ditto as a viable strategy it means that the meta is imbalanced and needs a ban/nerf. Tldr: Ditto will never be good because if it ever would be, it would just mean that a specific deck got too strong and needs to be banned.
I really appreciate the content. It's concise and I enjoy watching the battles and getting ideas from your videos. Do us all a favor and DONT START WITH THE CLICKBAIT THUMBNAILS! We will be here anyway, and the algorithm favors you already....please stop it. Please....
Okay thank God for that block button because I'm sick of seeing your videos popping up. Everyday it seems that you found the best card!!!! Ditto is the worst to set up as you cant predict what you'll go up against. It makes zero sense to set this up.
what? my testing shows that ditto have to have 1 energy of eny type, but pokemon from witch you steal an attack have to have enouth energy to use specific attack. so if yours opponent pokemon can use specific attack (have energy for it) also ditto can use it by paying only 1 energy
@@Yano83 if you tested it on a farfetch'd that is not conclusive evidence, it really only takes like three matches of testing to realize that it just doesn't work that way.
It's so sad that it has to be the exact energy, it needs to be just the same number of energy.
Nooo no, that would make it playable and we can't have that
@@shuriflwrshow about the same amount +1?
I’m guessing when they release Ditto ex it will just need that number of energy cards. Promo Ditto will be interesting
Kinda broken imo 🤔
Too strong
A middle ground is not possible
Ditto sucks.
It should work with any energy.
Otherwise ditto isnt useable.
Maybe with a lot less health for balancing.
I think this should be the way. 1tapped by almost any stage 1 Pokemon. 50 health I think would do it

Absolutely
Nice perspective. I’ve used ditto and once finding out the energy mechanic I trashed the idea.

lol I think a Ditto ex card should have an Ability, so it doesn’t require energy, where it copies the moves and energy attached of any opposing Pokémon depending where Ditto sits on the board

@@bagonsoul im using a dragonite deck with jolteon and articuno just in case the draws aint hittin and its honestly the most consistent dragonite deck ive used so far
Items like energy switch and energy search would make ditto better. Also there should not be limit for how many energy type can be in energy zone
Great job starting with “not S tier deck” I think this is helpful in setting expectations. Love more fun decks that occasionally win. Teaches us more about the game rather than decks that constantly slay (Pikachu, Mewtwo)
Idk about any color to copy attacks with ditto, but at least allow them to copy from their own bench
Ditto should not have to pay for the additional discard costs, would at least make him a high-risk, high reward. Right now he is just high copium

14:21 ditto’s life was a well but short lived one
Fun coincidence: I pulled a full art Ditto from my daily pack while watching this video xD
hmm kangaskhan might be better than pidgey? or perhaps wiggly tuff ex?
I tried making a purely ditto deck with all energies until i realised it was limited to 3 types and i was very disappointed
The only way I see ditto being useful is as a tech card on mono decks to win mirror match-ups. Especially in a mewtwo deck
We need a supporter that can choose our next energy
If ditto could copy from your own bench he’d be usable
Dude just wanted to see ditto win😂

This might be a good place to introduce a TCG concept of "sideboarding". For any interested ;)
Not seeing much water is crazy. The misty cheese is worth chancing it against pikachu’s lol
Also wow that first guy played so bad
Whats the bg theme song during the first battle?
can you do x2 starmie and x1 eggecutor in a deck, for me its a solid deck
or the opposite
Ditto should be able to copy any bench Pokemon too
I can see ditto being meta for countering mirror matches
The second game is a paid actor
I using him on solo mission. It easy to get exact enegy to pick
Justice for my boi Ditto
Hey bro, I have been playing for weeks with a ditto deck.
I use 1x hypno, 2x greninja 2xdittos it’s very annoying!
Where does it say in Pikachu's card that the benched Pokemon needs to be lightning?
Since it's a digital game, ditto's power should just be to transform into the opponent's active pokemon.
it can happen in the future since there are cards with transformation as a ability
cant get lucky enough to get alot of these pokemons, venusaur is pretty much my only useable ex after 50+ pulls
Ditto needing the specific energy types was a mistake. Makes the card completely useless.
i wanted to try ditto so this can be useful
Dito x sleimok could be dope will try it today
im having fun with team Rocket Wiggly deck while watching u trolling with ditto haha
6:02 Alakazam counters Mewtwo
What pack is ditto with?
Absurd no one in the comments talks about your dog! Beautiful 😍 He/she's an Husky right? What's his/her name?
Very interesting deck btw
I thought about how it would be if you just steal from the active pokemon and if that enemy doesnt have enough energy equipped it would deal 0, which would still make it pretty average in this "discard X energy after the attack" meta or do damage for every elektro pokemon on your bench, so these decks cant be hit, what can be is the misty decks, which would still overrun you because you dont have 80 hp on ditto.

On the 2nd game: Are you able to copy the Inferno dance so that you'll get fire energy?
which emulator did you use ? and also, isn't using emulators against terms of service ? doesn't that get you banned usually ?
what emulator do you use for pc ? (if this is pc)
Ditto is hyper carry for solo battle😊

i dont know man, why charizard not end this game (have 4 energy) ?
Has anyone tried the Alakazam build yet?
