Over the course of the next few (actually many) days, I will be posting the solutions to previous Hacker Rank challenges. The page is a good start for people to solve these problems as the time constraints are rather forgiving. A complete list of coin-operated machines made in 1936.

So, you want to get the Explosion TM, right? Well, obviously, otherwize you wouldn't be reading this. So, below, I have listed the basic rules in regards to obtaining the elusive TM.

• First of all, you will need to have coins.
• Second of all, you will need the Coin Case.

Once you are comfy with a slot machine, begin to play away! To begin with you need to keep spinning the reels until a Pokéball appears, this will contain one of three Pokémon:

• Ditto (transformed as a Clefairy) (Unlikely to win)
• Clefairy (Likely to win)
• Shiny Clefairy (Very likely to win)

The Pokémon you release from the ball determines your odds of getting the TM. To release the Pokémon out of the ball you have to align 3 of anything above a Pikachu and a Replay (it takes time, though). I find it easier to release them by lining up the PokéBalls, the Team Galactic symbols or the Bonus symbols, 7s.

Once the Clefairy/Ditto (if a Ditto I would consider trying again) has been released you will then need to align the Bonus symbols, 7s, in order to start the bonus round. Once the bonus round has been initiated you will begin to see the following things occur on the bottom screen of your DS, they are the following:

• Red Moon - Reduces your chances of Clefairy staying in if you follow what it says. In other words, intentionally stops the wrong reels.
• Golden Moon - This leads to a pair of Pikachu appearing in the bottom screen which improves your chances of Clefairy staying in.
• Popping in and out of Pokéball - This reduces the chances of your Clefairy staying in.
• Clefairy staying in the Pokéball - This tells you that it is the end of the bonus round.

To start obtaining the Bonuses you will need to follow Clefairy's hand gestures, which point to the reel you need to stop first. So, if Clefairy is pointing right on the screen, then press the A button, if up then press B, if left then press Y. Simple, isn't it? Continue to refer to the above for the on-screen changes which will determine how many bonus rounds you will reach.

If you manage to obtain 10 straight bonus rounds go to the Game Corner Reception Desk and talk to the lady. She will congratulate you and hand over a TM64 Explosion. Remember to keep trying and you will get there eventually just like I did now. Enjoy, people!

Thanks to TG-Espio for this!

i got to ten then 11 then eft and talked to the lady she just said try and get the reawrd!I thought that if you wat until the red moon passes over before getting the first replay it is fine. I could be wrong. I could never keep the Ditto-Clefairy more than 3 rounds. Also, since the Bonus Round is really everywhere you can really get coins, do NOT retry if you get a Ditto. Also, one time (only one) the real Clefairy popped out when I got a REPLAY. Go figure. More tips: Stop the reel from left-right. When the Pokeball shakes left, stop Left, when it's still, stop Middle, and when it shakes right, stop Right. When the Clefairy (the Ditto does this badly) opens its arms, stop left. When it opens its arms again, stop Middle. when it opens again, stop Right (WARNING: This works best if you stop the reels at the same time after the arms open, and you stop them when the arms open consecutively, so not 1;2;4, it should be 1;2;3, 2;3;4, etc.)

Not to be confused with Duplica's second Ditto, Mini-Dit.

History

Kanto

Duplica's Ditto first appeared in Ditto's Mysterious Mansion, in the form of a Pikachu and playing with Ash's. However, its face was different to other Pikachu, leading the others to believe that it was a new species. Excited, Ash tried to capture it, but Duplica revealed herself and that her Pokémon was in fact a Ditto. Ash doubted Ditto's ability in battle, but accepted Duplica's challenge. Ditto easily defeated Ash's Bulbasaur using Vine Whip.

Duplica revealed that unlike most Ditto, it could not change its face when it transformed into other Pokémon, which was holding them back from becoming famous, as the Ditto face disappoints her audience. Team Rocket promptly decided to steal Ditto, coax it into the shape of a Dratini and present it to Giovanni as a gift. With help from Weezing, they succeeded in stealing Ditto. However, Ditto was incapable to meet their demands, transforming into a mutation between a man and a Dratini, then into a book instead of the Dratini pictured. When forced to turn into a Meowth, Ditto was so intimidated that it rubs its face and transforms correctly.

Ash, Duplica and the others then turned up at Team Rocket's hiding place, where they were confronted by identical Meowth. Team Rocket tried to pass off Meowth as Ditto whilst they escaped, but Duplica could tell the difference despite the transformation. Duplica threw Meowth at Team Rocket, causing Ditto to fall free. It transformed into a cannon and blasted Pikachu at the balloon, who caused Team Rocket to blast off. Now that Ditto could transform perfectly, Duplica reopened her theater for performances.

Johto

Ditto reappeared in Imitation Confrontation, disguised as a Chansey. Once Brock caught Duplica out for impersonating Nurse Joy, Duplica revealed herself and told the group that they were there for an acting competition. Once Duplica's new Ditto, Mini-Dit, was stolen, Ditto transformed into Noctowl to help search, but to no avail. When the group did discover Team Rocket, Ditto transformed into Arbok and used Wrap to keep Weezing out of the battle. It then transformed back into Pikachu and teamed up with Ash's Pikachu and Mini-Dit in the form of Pikachu to send Team Rocket blasting off with Thunder.

Personality and characteristics

Ditto is the master of transforming into many other species, including items as shown when Ditto was in Team Rocket's custody during its first appearance. At first, when Ditto transformed, the transformed being retained Ditto's face. This happened until Meowth wiped it off and retained the face of the Pokémon it transformed into. Ditto is also a powerful battler, being able to defeat Bulbasaur with ease.

Pokémon Zany Cards

Duplica's Ditto appears in Pokémon Zany Cards, as a card in Special Seven mode. Playing this card changes the suit of the card to the player's choice.

When Ditto is used by Duplica, she will make a comment that she would not make when using any other card.

In the manga

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

Ditto appears in The Electric Tale of Pikachu as the Pokémon of Duplica. Duplica used Ditto and its ability to transform to perform in a show in a Pokémon Center. After the show, Misty congratulates them on their great performance. Misty also showed extreme interest in catching a Ditto despite her being a Water-type Trainer, much to Ditto's nervousness.

While Ash, Brock, A.J. and the Samurai talk about a hidden village they plan on going to, Misty and Duplica go over to tell them that they intend on going out so Misty can catch a Ditto of her own. When Ash mocks her for wanting a Ditto, Misty has Ditto transform into a poor imitation of Ash, so she can beat him up, while acting like she has no idea which is which.

Trivia

Ditto Clefairy Slot Machine Slot

• Ditto's habit of not transforming its face was originally presented as an anomaly. However, likely due to the popularity of the anime, it became associated as a feature of the Ditto species as a whole. Other Ditto with this trait have been seen in other media:
  • Wild Ditto on Pokémon Island in Pokémon Snap transform into the same Pokémon as Ditto did in Duplica's debut episode — a Bulbasaur.
  • Ditto cards in the TCG in which Ditto is seen transformed into another Pokémon also behave in this way. The Transform forms of Ditto include Bulbasaur, Charmander, Mr. Mime, Pikachu, Squirtle, and Geodude.
  • In Diamond and Pearl's Veilstone Game Corner, during the Game Corner slot machine game, a Clefairy with a Ditto face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy.
  • A Ditto with this trait appears in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.
  • Howard Clifford's Ditto in Detective Pikachu can transform into Pokémon as well as human beings while retaining its eyes.
