What will this breeding combo get me?

Question

I want to breed 2 dittos together and get a ditto. Will this work? If not, please explain why.

Answer 1

They can't breed

Pokémon in the Ditto group can breed with any Pokémon from any Egg Group, excluding the Undiscovered Egg Group. However, Ditto cannot breed with members of its own group, meaning that Ditto cannot be hatched from an Egg. The only exception is in Generation II.

Why?

Ditto is a genderless Pokémon, so its the same you breed a Mewtwo with a Mewtwo and you will get nothing as you may know because Mewtwo is a genderless Pokémon.
When Ditto is breeding with a male or a female Pokémon, it will ''get'' the other opposite sex of the partner making a egg.

Thank you! That really helped!

Answer 2

No, that would not work, sorry. It is impossible to have a Ditto Egg.

The reason for this is that Ditto's Egg Group, called simply "Ditto", cannot breed with other Pokemon that are part of the Ditto Group. Since the two Dittos you're putting in the Day Care are both, of course, part of the Ditto Group, they will never breed together. No exceptions.
