"Wigglytuff is the best prestiger against Ditto (assuming no switching)"


#PokemonGO: Here is the Ditto Gym Calculator.Assumptions:Ditto is the defenderThe attacker doesn't switch after the transformationAverage IVs (7.5/7.5/7.5)Average movesets (e.g. I don't take into account that Pound + Hyper Beam is the best attacking moveset in the game and Splash + Struggle is the worst)Conclusion: Wigglytuff is the overall most efficient attacker against a Ditto defender, and it's also the overall most efficient prestiger.Details:Battle Effectiveness: Wigglytuff vs. Wigglyditto is the 3rd-most lopsided fight after Chansey vs. Dittonsey and Snorlax vs. Dittolax.Time Efficiency: at constant CP, Wigglytuff vs. Wigglyditto is the 7th-fastest fight without taking movesets into account. With movesets, it may even be the 5th- or 6th-fastest.Total Efficiency: Wigglytuff vs. Wigglyditto achieves a score of 25.5. Second and third place are Dragonite vs. Dittonite with 23.3 and Rhydon vs. Rhyditton with 21.2, both due to the speed factor caused by Dragonite and Rhydon being Super Effective against themselves.Opportunity cost: if we only consider Pokémon which are "prestiger-level", i.e. not capable of reaching a high CP and therefore only good for prestiging, the second place is shared by Kangaskhan and Victreebel with a score of 14.8, i.e. 42% less than Wigglytuff.The reason for Wigglytuff being such a good prestiger vs. Ditto is that it has a very high Stamina (which is replaced by Ditto's Stamina but contributes to Wigglyditto's CP), a high Attack (which inflates Wigglyditto's CP without making it much stronger) and a low Defense (which makes Wigglyditto a terrible defender).Not included in the table but favorable for this matchup:Pound is the strongest STAB basic move for attacking, but it's a low-damage high-speed move and therefore not very good for defending.Hyper Beam is arguably the easiest move to dodge, and anyway the matchup is so lopsided that Wigglytuff will defeat Wigglyditto before it can even think about starting a Hyper Beam.Wigglytuff is capable to reach the normal CP range required for training normal gyms (900-1400) and therefore even if you don't do a pure "Wigglyditto" prestiging you can easily defeat the initial Ditto and then move on to the next defender with an almost full-HP Wigglytuff and 500+ prestige already gained.What about Jigglypuff?Well, Jigglypuff has such a low attack that Jigglyditto's CP is not inflated enough to yield a decent prestige gain; in addition, Jigglypuff battling Jigglyditto will be much slower.Wigglydittostrat for max prestige per resource:The "Wigglyditto" table is still in development, because I still have to figure out how to include the HP low cap to 20 for the Ditto defender. Anyway we can safely assume that two level-16 Ditto (284CP) will transform into ~800CP Wigglyditto and a 400CP Wigglytuff can barely defeat two of them in about 9 seconds each, for a total of 2000 prestige in one and a half minutes including team-choosing and healing overheads.EDIT: Minor text fixes™. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2gMtMIw
