Thanks to its ability Imposter, Ditto serves as a niche revenge killer in ZU. Choice Scarf allows Ditto to be faster than the foe it transforms into, deterring setup sweepers such as Silvally-Dark, Ninetales, and Rapidash due to fear of a reverse sweep. Unfortunately, Ditto struggles against most setup sweepers, particularly bulkier ones such as Alcremie, Frosmoth, and Uxie, and other Choice Scarf users like Sawk and Rotom are generally better revenge killers due to not having to rely on the opposing Pokemon to setup to revenge kill. Against stall teams, Ditto is an excellent switch-in to Knock Off, as it allows Ditto to have practically infinite PP and constant recovery from healing moves and Regenerator from Tangela. Due to its ability, maximizing HP is the only important part of Ditto's spread.

Ditto fits on most types of teams, ranging from offensive teams looking for a solid revenge killer to stall teams that want to stop setup sweepers. Ditto can't afford to lose its Choice Scarf to Knock Off users such as Sawk, Thwackey, and Cincinno, so Knock Off absorbers such as Qwilfish, Silvally-Poison, and Alcremie are greatly appreciated. Ditto Speed ties with other Choice Scarf users such as Sawk, Rotom, and Cinccino, so answers to them such as Tangela, Rhydon, and Cofagrigus help mitigate those Speed ties.

Other Options
=============

Due to Ditto only learning Transform, there are no other options for it.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Choice Scarf Users**: All Choice Scarf users Speed tie a transformed Ditto; this forces an awkward situation, since Ditto will almost always have the lower HP stat.

**Substitute**: Ditto cannot transform into a foe behind a Substitute, making it helpless against users such as Nasty Plot Rotom formes and Klinklang.

**Knock Off**: Ditto usually cannot afford to lose its Choice Scarf to Knock Off users such as Sawk, Tangela, and Cinccino against offensive teams. Ditto is almost always forced to switch out on an incoming Knock Off.

Thanks to its ability Imposter, Ditto serves as an excellent niche revenge killer in the ZU metagame. Choice Scarf allows Ditto to be faster than the opponent it transforms into, forcing setup sweepers such as Silvally-Ground, Ninetales, and Heat Wave Shiftry to setup much less during a game. (I get what you mean here and I think it could be more clear. For example, saying something like "deter setup because Ditto may reverse sweep") (Should also mention that Ditto struggles vs other common sweepers such as Frosmoth, Uxie, and Alcremie and other Choice Scarf users like Sawk, Manectric, and Silvally are better revenge killers) Against stall teams, Ditto is an excellent switch-in to Knock Off as it allows Ditto to have practically infinite PP and constant recovery from healing moves and Regenerator from stall staples such as Audino and Tangela. Due to its ability, maximizing HP EVs is the only important part of Ditto's spread.

Ditto fits on most types of teams ranging from offensive teams looking for a solid revenge killer to stall teams that want to stop setup sweepers. Ditto can't afford to lose its Choice Scarf to Knock Off from users such as Sawk, Centiskorch, or Cincinno, so Knock Off absorbers such as Qwilfish, Garbordor, and Alcremie are greatly appreciated. Ditto speed ties with other Choice Scarf users such as Sawk, Rotom, and Manectric, so answers to them such as Tangela, Ferroseed, and Rhydon help mitigate those speed ties.

Thanks to its ability Imposter, Ditto serves as a niche revenge killer in the ZU metagame. Choice Scarf allows Ditto to be faster than the opponent it transforms into, deterring setup sweepers such as Silvally-Ground Poison, Ninetales, and Heat Wave Shiftry Shiftry struggles a lot in the current meta. Perhaps SD Rapidash or NP Gourgeist-Small? from setting up due to fear of a reverse sweep. Unfortunately, Ditto struggles against most bulkier setup sweepers, particularly bulkier ones such as Alcremie, Frosmoth, and Uxie; (RC) and other Other Choice Scarfers Scarf users like Sawk, Manectric, and Rotom are generally better revenge killers due to not having to rely on the opposing Pokemon to setup to revenge kill. Against stall teams, Ditto is an excellent switch-in to Knock Off as it allows Ditto to have practically infinite PP and constant recovery from healing moves and Regenerator from stall staples such as Audino and Tangela.

Ditto fits on most types of teams ranging from offensive teams looking for a solid revenge killer to stall teams that want to stop setup sweepers. Against more offense-oriented teams, Ditto can't afford to lose its Choice Scarf to Knock Off from users such as Sawk, Centiskorch, or Cincinno Cinccino, so Knock Off absorbers such as Qwilfish, Garbordor Wishiwashi, and Alcremie are greatly appreciated.

However, against stall teams, Ditto can use the opportunity to regenerate PP from losing its Choice Scarf. You mentioned how Ditto can be a Knock Off absorber against stall teams.
