>>18486424>Ditto are considered both a pest and a prized commodity in the pokemon world. It just depends on who you talk to.>Dittos infiltrate other groups of pokemon by copying another. If the pokemon are intelligent enough to understand that Ditto is a copy, it will kill the original to keep itself concealed. They then breed with members of the species. Once it completes a breeding cycle, it leaves the group, and continues to the next species to infiltrate.>No one knows why Dittos do this, but it makes Dittos dangerous in the wild, as they often fight to kill. There are horror stories of trainers being copied, the original killed, and the fake trainer returning home to breed. >Dittos usually attempt to mimic the species behavior to the best of their ability. While trained Dittos are usually able to mimic behaviors perfectly due to experience, wild Dittos have a creepy 'uncanny valley' effect, where they just seem a little off in their behavior. In my headcanon, Dittos are basically Snatchers.
