2. Analyze the attacks (and/or Poke-Powers, Poke-Bodies) of the card.
3. What combos can you use it with? How so?
4. What techs can you use to combat the weak points?
5. How's the artwork?

1. Analyze the stats of the card (HP, Weakness, Resistance, Retreat cost).
Overall, terrible. Nothing about it is good.

2. Analyze the attacks (and/or Poke-Powers, Poke-Bodies) of the card.
Dittobolic can either be AMAZING or even more worthless than Sharp Point. I run two in one of my decks in the testing phase (Grachomp C/Mewtwo X and Espeon UD) and it either hurts or helps me.

3. What combos can you use it with? How so?
As hinted at earlier, you can clear your opponent's bench and force them to discard something if you drop it right, but considering the weak HP, don't get your hopes up. I see a Luxchomp POSSIBILITY in lower-end decks.

4. What techs can you use to combat the weak points?
Things like Bellosom UD can help keep it alive, along with an Expert Belt, but even then, too shaky. Obligatory Exploud, too.

5. How's the artwork?
One of my favorite for Ditto.

6. Give it a rating, and explain why you have given it that rating. You can also rate the card by rating the thread itself (out of 5 stars).

3/5

While the body is good, it just doesn't work that great with Ditto. You have to plan the EXACT moment when you drop it, because remember, a well timed drop can force a discard of one of your opponent's techs. Missing the timing, it probably won't matter.

1. Analyze the stats of the card (HP, Weakness, Resistance, Retreat cost).
At 40 Hp, even basic Pokemon can kill it. It's really meant for support, but most snipers can One Hit KO it. Weakness to fighting is horrible, meaning nearly any fighting type can KO it, and 1 retreat cost is sad for something that has nothing else going for it.
2. Analyze the attacks (and/or Poke-Powers, Poke-Bodies) of the card.
Dittobolic is not very impressive, as the opponent chooses the Pokemon to discard. If it was you, it would be useful for discarding potential threats, and I wouldn't even bother with sharpen.
3. What combos can you use it with? How so?
It isn't really that useful. The opponent could have out 2 magikarp, for example in a Gyarados deck. If he discards that, you're powering him up for free. Use it with Nidoqueen in unlimited format, because if you have a full bench, its attack will always do 90, but I don't see much potential for it in anything else.
4. What techs can you use to combat the weak points?
Exploud AR(?) gets rid of its fighting weakness, and Manectric PL can prevent it from being sniped.
5. How's the artwork?
BORING.
6. Give it a rating, and explain why you have given it that rating. You can also rate the card by rating the thread itself (out of 5 stars).
1/5, If it's lucky. It's simply to easy to KO.

Almost any basic with an Expert belt can take this thing out, if it's your only starter, have fun with getting donked
.
2. Analyze the attacks (and/or Poke-Powers, Poke-Bodies) of the card.
If you waste energy on it's attack you deserve a loss. It's power can be somewhat useful. Uxie and Azelf being bench clog is always a problem. If played early it could prevent either of these from being dropped or even make the clog worse by playing it when they have a bench of Uxie's and no room to play what they need. Thus forcing them to use an energy for Psychic Restore. Unfortunately this clogs your bench too so double edge sword here. All depends on what your up against.

3. What combos can you use it with? How so?
I'm drawing a blank. The bench clog method is it's only real use.

4. What techs can you use to combat the weak points?
Not running it in the first place could help.

5. How's the artwork?
It's Ditto, The only difference between Ditto cards is what form of blob they take.

6. Give it a rating, and explain why you have given it that rating. You can also rate the card by rating the thread itself (out of 5 stars).
2/5. It may be almost useless but the key word here is "almost"

It has low hp. It's weakness is bad. It has no resistance. Ditto will never be active, so its retreat cost is null... It's attack is horrible, its body is interesting but also horrible. There are no real good combos to use ditto with; there is no reason to put combos with ditto to keep it alive. The weak point of ditto is that you have ditto in your deck - I suppose you could tech sages training so you make sure to discard ditto as soon as possible so you don't accidentally put it into play. It also combos well with Scizor... i mean scissors; make sure you cut up ditto so it doesn't get into your deck. The artwork is sub-par, but its bearable. I give the card a zero out of five. Yep, ZERO.

Seriously, if you want to use ditto, slap yourself, then use a 1-1 Palkia G Lv. X line.

It is horrible in this catagory. It's weakness is terrible and it's HP is realy low.

2. Analyze the attacks (and/or Poke-Powers, Poke-Bodies) of the card.
Its attack Sharp Point sucks. Just throwing it out there. If you seriously want to wastetwo energies on this thing you deserve a face palm because it's an EPIC FAIL. It's poke-body however, is this cards only advantage. Even htough it's relly good to have that abillity, there is no way the opponent is going to let that weak of pokemon control his/her game.

3. What combos can you use it with? How so?
I really wouldn't want to use this thing in a combo because it's seriously not worth it.

4. What techs can you use to combat the weak points?
I can only think of Expert Belt.

5. How's the artwork?
It looks like he got karate chopped down the head.

6. Give it a rating, and explain why you have given it that rating. You can also rate the card by rating the thread itself (out of 5 stars).
I give it a 2/5. Everything sucks and even though it's poke-body is awesome, theres a slight chance that that abillity would help.
