Ah , Hermes . The only company worse than Yodel . <| sep |> Living life on the edge <| sep |> Worms World Party . <| sep |> Yeah , their niche in gyms is as an attacker and I think most especially for the casual player without a good Snorlax or Lapras for instance . I would not use it as a defender . You could line up 6 Ditto to attack or train and that would be a good enough squad to hold your own in the gym provided the Ditto are not weaker ones , if you don ' t have the right matchup . But for those of us who have good counters already , I ' m not sure how much Ditto can help . I haven ' t battled with one yet but do you get extra prestige when winning a battle with a Ditto ? They have naturally low CP but then change , so I don ' t know .
