Top 10 1st Generation Competitive Pokemon

Ditto

Oh my God... This thing...

Ditto is a crazy powerful... Seriously...

For the first four generations of Pokemon, Ditto was nothing. It might have been a failed clone of Mew, and for the first four generations, it was a failure. Ditto has horrible stats, and having to wait to transform on the first move made it an easy target.

But with the fifth generation came Hidden Ability, and so Ditto finally became relavent. The Imposter Ability allowed Ditto to transform into the opposing Pokemon immediately upon entering battle. This allowed Ditto to become one of the best revenge killers in existence.

How is that possible? Simply let your opponent set up with power increasing moves and let it destroy one of your Pokemon. After that, send in Choice Scarf Ditto. You can then manhandle the opponent's team, and with their star Pokemon! Evil, right? Well, that's Ditto for you. And that's why this pink blob ranks fourth.
