What's the easiest/best way to farm Dittos in FS? I would have used my story-levelled LV80 Doublade with False Swipe, but then realised I'd run into all kinds of bullshit if the Ditto had Imposter. I'm currently using a LV50 Drapion, but False Swipe does fuck all. So instead I decided to just go with a Quick Ball/Repeat Ball combo, but it seems like I'm wasting way too many balls.

i'm too lazy and just repeat ball them while leading with a raltz that knows no attacks and heal pulse, then just spam balls while watching anime or some shit.

Pokemon with False Swipe.
If ditto has imposter, send out false swipe pokemon immediately. otherwise use splash, wait for it to use transform into karp, then switch in the false swipe pokemon.
and is it just me or are dittos super common? when I pick it probably a good 75% of my FS encounters have been ditto. hardly ever run into the other two things. I ran into 5 in a row at one point. that's real nice.

>>15957977 Well the principle works with any other pokemon with Endeavor only, Sturdy just makes it easier to get it to 1HP. You could just go to Route 3 with a level 20 something Tailow and let it take some hits from the wild pokemon.

i think quickball+capture 3 is faster, especially if you have a brother with capture power 3, but i know that's not the case for everyone.

>>15958150 another strategy, but this only works for catching ditto's with perfect HP iv's.
have a poke with... level 68 i think it was? and seismic toss. use seismic toss and if the ditto has perfect HP he'll survive with 1 hp, switch to a ghost afterwards.
i'm getting creative here.
