A Tera Raid Event featuring Ditto with guaranteed 5 ivs is now over in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet!

The Ditto encountered was guaranteed to have at least five best IVs and appeared with random Tera Types.

Ditto's Tera Raid Event ended on April 9, 23:59 UTC, and ran alongside the second round of the Samurott Tera Raid Event.

Best Dittos to Get

Best Dittos
6 IVs Shiny	6 IVs
0 Speed IVs	0 Attack IVs

6 IV Shiny Foreign Ditto

This is the creme de la creme, the grand prize of this event. while 5 IVs were guaranteed for these event Ditto, the final IV could be any value from 0 to 31. That meant there was a 1 in 32 chance for each raid that it would be a perfect Ditto. add to this that there was only a 1 in 4096 chance of it being shiny and that meant that the odds of finding a shiny 6 IV Ditto were extremely small.

If you receive such a Ditto from a foreign person in a trade you will additionally be able to use the Masuda Method for increased shiny breeding odds. Whilst it is extremely unlikely to randomly happen upon such a trade, using our Foreign Ditto Trading Board (which has a large number of Japanese and English users) is your best chance!

6 IV Ditto

Of course having a perfect Ditto means that breeding future competitive Pokemon will be much easier. By breeding with another perfect iv Pokemon and giving it the Destiny Knot, you guarantee that that Pokemon will inherit at least 5 perfect ivS.

0 Speed IV Ditto

Having 0 IVs is generally preferred for slower Pokemon in Trick Room Teams. Being the slowest Pokemon on the field allows them to move first under Trick Room.
How to Build a Trick Room Team

0 Attack IV Ditto

Having 0 IVs in Attack is generally preferred for Special Attackers in Competitive and Tera Raids. Having a low Attack means that a Pokemon that has Transformed into you or uses your Attack Stat for damage calculations for a move such as Foul Play can be mitigated.

5 IV Ditto Raid Moveset

Ditto Moveset and Abilities

Pokemon	Set
Ditto	Tera Type: Random Ability 1: Limber Hidden Ability: Imposter Nature: Random ・ Transform

Like Ditto's raids in regular Tera Raid Dens, Ditto used Transform to change into the raid host's Pokemon.

Best Counters for 5 IV Ditto

Host Counters

Host Counters
Pokemon	Moveset / Strengths
Ditto	・ Transform ・Force the raid Ditto to spam Transform once it transforms into your Ditto.
Magikarp	・ Splash ・Force the raid Ditto to spam Splash once it transforms into your Magikarp.
Sinistea	・ Shell Smash ・Force the raid Ditto to spam Shell Smash once it transforms into your Sinistea.

These were the best Pokemon to use if you were the host of the raid. As Ditto always attempted to transform into the host, bringing the weakest Pokemon possible was advised. Ditto's Transform always failed against other Ditto, and Magikarp and Sisistea both have extremely low base stats and weak moves.

Other Player Counters

Other Player Counters
Pokemon	Moveset / Strengths
Iron Hands	・ Close Combat ・ Belly Drum ・ Drain Punch ・ Wild Charge ・Use Belly Drum to raise Iron Hand's Attack by 6 stages. ・Drain Punch allows you to heal while attacking. ▶︎ Best Iron Hands Build for Tera Raids
Azumarill	・ Belly Drum ・ Play Rough ・ Liquidation ・ Helping Hand ・Use Belly Drum to raise Azumarill's Attack by 6 stages. ・Give it a Shell Bell for a recovery option. ・Use Helping Hand to support allies. ▶︎ Best Azumarill Build for Tera Raids

As Ditto would not transform into the non-host other players, bringing a Pokemon that can deal large damage to swiftly take out the Raid Boss was advised for the other players. If you were the host, it was best not to bring strong Pokemon such as Azumarill and Iron Hands, or the Raid Ditto would have become very difficult to handle!

Best Tera Types for 5 IV Ditto

Fairy

Fairy Tera
Weak to:
	(2x)
Damaged Normally By:	(1x)
Resists:	(0.5x)
Immune to:	(0x)

Ditto with a Fairy Tera type can be useful in competitive battles, especially when using Transform against common Dragon-types, and the newly allowed Treasures of Ruin.

After transforming into the opposing Dragon, or Treasure of Ruin, Ditto can then use their same moves, but has the option of terastallizing to Fairy to gain immunity or resistance to their STAB moves.

Best Fairy Type Pokemon

Steel

Steel Tera
Weak to:
	(2x)
Damaged Normally By:	(1x)
Resists:	(0.5x)
Immune to:	(0x)

Ditto with a Steel Tera type is also useful, since Steel types have resistance and immunity to 11 types, making it a great all around defensive Tera option.

Best Steel Type Pokemon

Dark

Dark Tera
Weak to:
	(2x)
Damaged Normally By:	(1x)
Resists:	(0.5x)
Immune to:	(0x)

By using a Ditto with a Dark Tera type, common support Pokemon with the Prankster ability would be unable to use their increased priority against you, opening outplay possibilities.

Dark tera would also be good defensively in the current meta, due to the popularity of the Dark-type Treasures of Ruin.

Best Dark Type Pokemon

Niche Tera Types

Niche Ditto Tera Types
Electric Tera	Flying Tera	Ghost Tera

While not as useful all-around as Fairy, Steel, or Dark, these tera types can also be used to gain an advantage in competitive matches. By having an Electric Tera type on your Ditto, you can prevent it from being Paralyzed, even when your Ditto has its Hidden Ability instead of Limber.

Flying and Ghost Tera types are similarly useful, by taking advantage of their type immunities against certain popular moves like Earthquake and Extreme Speed.

Best Sandwich for 5 IV Ditto Raid

This raid event featured random Tera Types for Ditto, so you may have needed to change the Raid Power recipe of the Sandwich you were making depending on the Tera Raid that you were aiming to clear.
