While packing the supplies ready to leave for Polus, a wild Ditto somehow stumbled its way onto the Dropship and curiously morphed into one of the Crewmates upon seeing it. The ship was eventually ready to go, and left with the Ditto still in it. As the ship arrived in Polus, everyone proceeded to do their usual tasks, while the Ditto (Which was still morphed into a crewmate) decided to follow the others out of curiosity. However, one later left a smirk believing he will kill all the crewmates.

As the game went on to usual killing sprees, 2 players aside from the Impostor remained. The Ditto (now back to normal after deciding to have fun in playing in the snow causing it to laugh back to normal) was just near the outside of the lab as it slithered up to the entrance, and just so happened to have witnessed a Purple “crewmate“ stab a Lime crewmate through the skull with a tongue, killing him as the Impostor retracted its tongue and let the body fall to the floor. He just noticed the one other “player” left alive, but it was not a crewmate. It took the form of a purple gooey creature, and inspired from what it saw, it immediately transforms its look to form the purple suit around it, much identical to the Impostor, who was surprised. The Ditto began to lash out a sharp tongue, with the Impostor barely jumping back landing on the bed near the Medbay Scan. Believing that the Ditto may just be an inferior identical alien race to its own, the Impostor is merely annoyed at this, and proceeded to get into a fighting stance, just as the Ditto did.

The battle takes place in Polus, and both start 5 meters apart from each other. Ditto is given time to transform.

Who wins?

Oh boy, a Ditto match. Probably comes down to Intelligence, Skill & Stamina. (& if also if Ditto ever realizes it can probably win Untransformed with Struggle.)
 
Ditto wouldn't be able to copy equipment, would it? It can't replicate held items from what I remember, unless things like Type:Null's helmet or Farfetch'd's leek count, but even then those items are kinda apart of them as a species.That leaves it with only the tounge attack and shape-shifting, while the Impostor still has their ranged weapon in the form of a gun.
 
If Ditto can copy equipment then incon
But if cant they maybe imposter takes this also imposter has A better intelligence
(Usually crewmates in random games are so dumb U know what I mean, oh orange is imposter I saw he vented even though he didnt vent how they even See it)
 
Ditto has its own held items right?
That Imposter cannot replicate?

Inconclusive FRA for now

Quick Powder & Metal Powder, which raise the Speed & Defenses, respectively of Ditto.... but don't work while Ditto is Transformed. & while gameplay is the only evidence of this drawback, gameplay is also the only evidence of their functioning, other than their descriptions.

Oh & there was also an event where Ditto that were holding Light Balls could be obtained.

So yeah. Ditto has Equipment, but they don't work while it's transformed, & if you count event-only equipment, it has Equipment.... that only works if it's Transformed into a Pikachu.

Wait wait wait, since when can Ditto not use items while transformed?

Technically, since always, it's just, the items it can't use while Transformed aren't just any items.

Your Gold Berry or your Sitrus Berry or your Choice Band you give to Ditto will work just fine, whether it's Transformed or not.

But Quick Powder & Metal Powder only boost the stats of a Pokemon that is of the DITTO species; In gameplay, the stat boosts these powder items provides don't apply AFTER Ditto is Transformed, because it's not the Pokemon species Ditto anymore, it's the species of Pokemon of whatever it transformed into.
& unfortunately, we don't seem to know of any other depiction of their functionality, so how they function in gameplay (& their very brief item descriptions viewable in the bag & such.) is all the basis we have for how they work.

By all evidence, limited as it may be, the Powders only work while Ditto ISN'T Transformed.

But practically any other item will work just fine for Ditto... But for Standard Equipment, with little exception (If my memory serves.) , we use what the Pokemon can be found holding in the wild. &, IIRC, said powders are the only held items Wild Ditto CAN be found holding.

The only other held item Ditto can be obtained with is a Light Ball (An item that boosts the offensive stats of PIKACHU, so, also useless, unless Ditto Transforms into a Pikachu.), & that's from an event, & events, especially those like that one, I'd presume, often have dubious canonocity.
 
Ditto can copy equipment like Cubone's skull and bone or Farfetch'd's Leek, not copying held items is game mechanics. Not only that but while Impostors have no skill feats whatsoever, a Ditto's likely gonna have a fair amount of combat experience.

Doesn't Ditto also copy their skills?
 
No.

Ditto is a less experienced version of whoever it copies
If it copies someone experienced, which isn't the case here. And again, while Ditto has no skill showings of its own, Pokèmon are naturally hard-wired for battle, so considering the slight advantage I'll vote Ditto- It's a 52/48 thing, eh, but it's still something.
