Quick Powder
Summary
Quick-Powder is a held item in the Pokémon series specifically designed for Ditto. When Ditto holds Quick-Powder, its Speed stat is doubled. This effect makes Ditto significantly faster, which can be especially useful for executing its signature move, Transform, before the opponent has a chance to act. Transform allows Ditto to copy its opponent’s stats, moves, and type, effectively turning it into a mimic of the opposing Pokémon for the duration of the battle.
Quick-Powder is unique in that it only affects Ditto; if any other Pokémon holds Quick-Powder, it provides no benefits whatsoever. This specialized design underscores the item’s exclusive relationship with Ditto, making it a niche but invaluable asset in Pokémon battles where Ditto is involved.
