Thanks, This is actually an interesting situation: Each Ditto would copy the other Ditto. Since Ditto always retains the Pokemon Powers of the monster it is copying, your Ditto's copy of Ditto would now have a new version of Transform. This new version of the Transform Pokemon Power would, in turn, turn your Ditto's copy of Ditto into a copy of your original Ditto (which your opponent's Ditto is currently copying). Of course, your opponent's Ditto will also be Transforming once again. And once again each Ditto's copy of a Ditto copying a Ditto would have a fresh continuous Pokemon Power "Transform" which would take effect... This cycle will continue until a quantum singularity in the space-time continuum erupts directly over the center of the table in which you are playing. This, of course, would suck all matter within a Swarzchild radius of approximately 1 light year into the singularity and end our definition of the universe (as it stands now). Since I am able to type this, I must assume that one of your Ditto cards was, in fact, a counterfeit card from Taiwan. Good thing for all of humanity! You may want to contact Wizards of the Coast with details regarding the exact time/location that you purchased the counterfeit card(s)... (heh... i'm terribly sorry... it's LATE and i'm feeling rather bubbly for some strange reason right now... everything I typed is obviously my strange sense of humor kicking in, when I should be answering your very sincere question. I apologize, and promise to punish myself later ;-) Here is the STRAIGHT scoop on Ditto vs. Ditto: Each card will be Ditto. They have NO attacks, 50 HP, Weakness to Fighting, Resistance to Psychic, and a retreat cost of 1. Since no one will be attacking, you should take advantage of the stall in the game to power up one of your benched monsters so they will be ready to tear your brother in two! Brian Brokaw
