Is Ditto VMAX 51 strong for a VMAX card?

VMAX cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

What does being a Colorless card do for Ditto VMAX 51?

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 1,884 Fighting cards carry that type A Fighting attack printed at 160 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Ditto VMAX 51 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 183 cards in the archive that can remove Ditto VMAX 51 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 160 printed damage against a bar of 160. 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.

What is Ditto as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Ditto VMAX 51 is one print of Ditto. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Ditto has been printed 38 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Ditto VMAX 51 can be?

Ditto VMAX evolves from Ditto V, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Ditto V2 prints on record · Shining Fates: Shiny Vault

Ditto → Ditto V → Ditto VMAX

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Ditto V.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 132.

2Ditto VNo attack damage printed at this stage. Evolving here adds 100 HP over the stage before it170 HP
3Ditto VMAXNo attack damage printed at this stage. Evolving here adds 150 HP over the stage before it320 HP

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (320 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Back to summary

Is this the strongest Ditto print, and can the older ones still be played?

38 prints carry this name in the archive, and 31 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (320 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

7 of the 31 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.
