Provenance

Where it came from

The Ditto card from the Detective Pikachu expansion was released in 2019 to coincide with the premiere of the live-action film of the same name. Produced by The Pokémon Company International, the set was designed to reflect the unique aesthetic of the movie, which reimagined iconic Pokémon as realistic, textured creatures living in a human-centric urban environment.

This specific card features artwork by sui, who utilized a distinct, grounded illustrative style to capture Ditto’s transformative nature. Within the game's mechanics, the card serves as a thematic nod to Ditto's ability to mimic its surroundings, a recurring trait throughout the franchise's history that translates into its role as a versatile colorless type in the trading card game.
