{C} → Copy Anything
Choose 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon’s attacks and use it as this attack. If this Pokémon doesn’t have the necessary Energy to use that attack, this attack does nothing.

While it can transform into anything, each Ditto apparently has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to transformations.

Pretty dang mediocre card.

Contrast with the original Ditto from Fossil, which copied the opponent’s HP (and other attributes) using a Pokemon Power and, while needing the same energy count to use their attacks, functionally made all their attack costs colorless so you didn’t need any specific energy type.
Also contrast Legends Awakened Ditto, which did the same thing as Fossil Ditto with a Pokebody, but without adjusting the energy colors.
XY40 Ditto then only allowed copying the attacks and nothing else using an Ability, and this thing is *basically* the same as that one, but at least this one can’t get turned off by ability-negating effects?
Going backward again, Skyridge Ditto has the same attack as this one, but with an ability that overwrites the type color requirement like the Fossil Ditto.
And finally, jump ahead to Ditto VMAX which copies any attack of the defending pokemon at all for CCC!
The one thing that makes this Ditto stand out from all the others? It can copy *any* of your opponent pokemon’s attacks, even the ones on the bench. All the rest only copy the opponent’s active. But it’s still extremely bad :)

True—being able to access Pokémon on your opponent’s bench *could* potentially be really good, if you prepare for it accordingly… but you’d have to get insanely lucky for that!!
