What do the attacks on Ditto 36 cost, and what do they hit for?

Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.

Ditto 36 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Toxic	1 Grass + 1 Colorless	2	—	—	The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 2 damage counters instead of 1 on the Defending Pokémon between turns.

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Toxic2 Energy cards

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Toxic puts damage counters on a Pokémon instead of dealing damage to it. The two look alike on the board — one counter is ten damage — but the rules treat them apart: anything that reduces or prevents damage does not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them either.

What Ditto 36 does without attacking

Ditto 36 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Duplicate — Poké-Power · once a turn

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for another Ditto and switch it with Ditto. (Any cards attached to Ditto, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) If you do, put Ditto on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. You can't use more than 1 Duplicate Poké-Power each turn.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Duplicate can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

What does being a Grass card do for Ditto 36?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Deals double to this card 1,574 Fire cards carry that type A Fire attack printed at 30 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

Of the 1,191 cards in the archive that can remove Ditto 36 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 30 printed damage against a bar of 30. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Ditto 36 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Ditto 36?

Ditto 36 has 60 HP and a Fire weakness at ×2, so a Fire attack printed at 30 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 60.

What is the retreat cost of Ditto 36?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

How often can you use Duplicate?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Ditto in play carries its own use.

Does Ditto 36 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Ditto print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 31 prints listed on this page, 7 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

Can Ditto 36 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Ditto 36 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
