Is ditto viable in competitive pokemon?
It's a great revenge killer, but not good enough to want to put on every team because it can basically only do that.
It's great in VGC, especially this format. Plenty of people have topped regionals/nationals with it.
Smogon isn't competitive pokemon.
Ditto is cute but he's shit.

You can give him a choice scarf, he will copy all enemy's stats except health, and then he will be faster. If you copy the enemy sweeper or his megaevo you can get a faster sweeper and probably with more health (ditto always has his own health) . I personally think it's pretty good.

It got amazing new ability Imposter that should soon change the normal one.
Also slap Choice scarf on it and have fun - but use it in the middle of the battle
Against stupid people; just scout their team for the best sweeper, take out whatever they have that can counter it, then bring out scarfed ditto to kill it and whatever's left.
I've got about a 40% success rate with that strategy, but I'm pretty shit so it feels good as fuck when it works.
Yes
Assuming you have the imposter ability
choice scarf will make you go faster if they choose not to switch
And you could always go back and do it again, ditto doesn't permanently stay
