[SET COMMENTS]
Ditto is a great revenge killer that fits mainly on stall and balance teams for its ability to punish and discourage opposing setup sweepers; however, Ditto's strengths allow it to be useful to any teamstyle. Ditto runs 248 HP to minimize Stealth Rock damage and allow it to use Struggle up to five times from full HP. A Quiet nature and 252 Special Attack EVs allow Ditto to maximize Future Sight Damage when transformed into Pokemon like Slowbro and Reuniclus, as Future Sight damage is based on Ditto's Special Attack before transforming. A Choice Scarf lets Ditto outrun the Pokemon that it is transforming into without having to rely on a Speed tie. Tera Steel reduces Stealth Rock damage and is a good defensive Tera type, helping out specifically when transformed into Salamence, Gardevoir, or Hisuian Goodra. Ditto pairs well with defensive Pokemon such as Hippowdon and Hisuian Goodra, which can take hits directed at Ditto after it revenge kills or forces out the opposing Pokemon. Ditto also pairs well with passive Pokemon such as Empoleon, Chansey, and Chesnaught that may get set up on, which can allow Ditto to come in and revenge kill those setup sweepers. Ditto also benefits from strong entry hazard control from Pokemon like Cyclizar and Galarian Weezing, which allows it to come in multiple times over the course of the game. Ditto has trouble when transforming into opposing Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Galarian Zapdos, Gengar, and Gardevoir, due to having to rely on winning a Speed tie. Additionally, Ditto gets shut down by Hisuian Zoroark when it has an intact Illusion due to not being able to transform, meaning checks to these foes like Cyclizar, Umbreon, and Hisuian Goodra make for good partners. Similarly, Ditto has trouble with Pokemon running Substitute like Suicune.

Ditto is an great revenge killer that fits mainly on Stall and Balance teams for its ability to punish and discourage opposing setup sweepers, however Ditto's strengths allow it to be useful to any teamstyle. (moved later, since it fits better as an intro to teammates paragraph) This set runs 248 HP to minimize Stealth Rock damage and allow Ditto to use Struggle up to 5 times max from full HP, and a Quiet nature and 252 SpA Evs to maximize Future Sight Damage when transformed into Pokemon like Slowbro and Reuniclus, as Future Sight Damage is based on Ditto's SpA before transforming. This set runs Choice Scarf to be able to outrun the Pokemon that Ditto is transforming into without having to rely on a speed tie. Tera Steel is the Tera Type of choice as it reduces Stealth Rock damage and is a good defensive Tera.

(separating the set & teammates paragraphs, make sure there’s only empty line between these two paragraphs in the end)

Ditto is a great revenge killer that fits on teams from stall to balance teams thanks to its ability to both discourage and punish setup sweepers. However, Ditto's strengths allow it to be useful on any teamstyle. (moved from beginning, to fit in teammates paragraph + some changes) Ditto pairs well with defensive Pokemon such as Hippowdon and Goodra-Hisui who can take hits directed at Ditto after it revenge kills or forces out the opposing Pokemon, (this is interesting, but i believe it can be improved by doing something similar to this: since Ditto enjoys taking advantage of setup sweepers, teammates that switch into priority like Ice Shard, Sucker Punch, and First Impression decently pair well like Slowbro, Slither Wing, and Talonflame, respectively) and also benefits from strong hazard control to allow Ditto to come in multiple times over the course of the game (this should be expanded upon to its own sentence with teammates like cyclizar / noivern / g-weezing) . Ditto however has trouble when transforming into opposing Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Galarian Zapdos, Gengar, and Terrakion due to having to rely on winning a speed tie. (what partners can help check these mons defensively so that you dont need to risk a 50/50? maybe bellibolt—its static also helps, umbreon / cyclizar, and g-weezing / golurk) Additionally, Ditto gets shut down by Hisuian Zoroark when it has an intact Illusion due to not being allowed to transform, meaning checks like Cyclizar, Umbreon, and Registeel make for good partners. (a solution to h-zoroark) and has similar Similarly, Ditto has trouble with Pokemon running Substitute like Suicune and Terrakion. (what can solve this? maybe a teammate like Taunt Volcanion or Facade Cyclizar for Suicune and Golurk or Whirlwind Hippowdon for Terrakion.)

(ditto often enjoys cleaning games, so wallbreakers to whittle walls like Mamoswine, Basculegion-F, Hisuian Goodra, and Terrakion are appreciated)

(hazard setters also help ditto to clean late-game, so it pairs well with pokemon like Hippowdon, Klefki, Krookodile)

(passive walls like Empoleon, Galarian Weezing, Cresselia, and Chansey that are vulnerable to being set up on appreciate ditto revenge killing these setup sweepers)
