Hmmm. Interesting. Maybe is IV dependant then? Or different between raising prestige or fight other team? I have 8 Ditto, I think. Will do some testing later and share.

Edit: I have a 408 Ditto @ 97.8%, and a bunch of junk ones. Will be able to test enough to figure this out.

Edit #2: Here is how it works, and I think I have this part right. Ditto takes exactly same CP as Pokémon you are facing, but he can get hit 2 times while he morphs. Those hits lower his initial CP, so that can be pretty huge. Example, a 200 CP Ditto who gets hit twice by a 2400 Vaporeon might lose half his CP, so is 1200 CP when finished morphing to Vape.
What I do not know is what their HP is. Not sure how that works. You hit that 2400 CP Vape with his hydropump, and he loses like 30%. Get hit by it from him, who my Ditto is supposed to be a mirror of, and it kills mine dead.
In theory Ditto is excellent. It practice not so much, imo.
