CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Faced with another Pokémon, Ditto can abandon its own form to reproduce the other’s appearance. This imitation seems almost perfect when the model remains before its eyes. Without it, memory takes over and mistakes become possible. Its talent illustrates a familiar distinction: copying what one observes and reconstructing what one remembers do not require the same effort.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

An encounter between two Ditto creates a particular situation. Pokémon Shield explains that each may move faster than usual to imitate the other exactly. Even when faced with a master of copying, this Pokémon continues its efforts at imitation.
