[[File:Duplica Ditto Bulbasaur.png|thumb|right|This Pokémon is an {{bp|Imposter_(Ability)|IMPOSTER}}!]]


It might be strange that in a game about collecting or competing that a Pokémon that is literally the definition of gimmick should be so popular or highly sought after. In battle its utility is tempered by its {{bp|Imposter_(Ability)|ability}} to {{bp|Transform_(move)|transform}}, which depending on how you use it can be of some asset or a great hindrance. In contests you might have some luck since at least its sole move doesn’t bore the judges, although you’d be better off using a Claydol. Even for the sake of collecting or Pokédex completion it’s just one more entry. The actual strange thing is that its original transforming gimmick has taken the backseat to its most famous ability that was introduced later: the universal breeder.
