    Can you Beat Pokemon Sword with JUST ONE Ditto?
    I attempted to beat Pokemon Sword using only one ditto. This was by far the hardest Pokemon challenge that I've ever taken on and maybe the hardest gaming challenge I've ever done. Having only one ditto on your team in Pokemon Sword is way more limiting than I thought.

    Oh my gosh! I saw Pikasprey's series of a Ditto long ago, but that was in an old gen when Struggle did 1/2 the damage _dealt,_ not a quarter of your HP (meaning you could slowly whittle down strong targets). I thought this was impossible in newer generations, and Hop's awful, awful, lead Woolo doesn't help - but sometimes you get so lucky like having a move that hits both in the last gym!
