Ruling Ditto DNA

[Syn_]

if my ditto is a shinx...then my opponent's next turn he rare candy the shinx to luxray...does my ditto changes to luxray or it becomes luxray on my next turn?

 

[Devastator]

he would become the luxray. dittos body works by copying the defending pokemon. so if that evolves then ditto would as well. bodies don't work like powers. they just happen when they are in play including during your opponents turn

anyone correct me if i am wrong

What Joey said, unless it was 2-on-2, in which case you could switch Defending Pokemon.

It is a Body, Bodies are always active. So if they evolve, then you gain their HP right as they evove. Same stands if they retreat or switch, you copy the new Defending. Also, there is no time in which they have no defending, so your HP does not revert back to 60 during their switch/retreat.
