Duplica (Japanese:イミテ Imite) is a Pokémon Trainer that specializes in training Ditto and impersonating others.
Background
Season 1: Indigo League
Some time ago, Duplica and Ditto were making shows, where Ditto used Transform toi impersonate other Pokémon. It did not go well, as Ditto did not copy the Pokémon's face, as it retained its own.
When Ash, Brock and Misty came into the mansion, they saw Duplica, imitating Ash, whose Ditto was impersonating Pikachu. Ash demanded a match, sending Bulbasaur, but Duplica's Ditto transformed into Bulbasaur and using a different move it defeated it. Though Ditto was captured by Team Rocket, Duplica thanked Jessie, James and Meowth as Ditto had its face corrected when using Transform. After the matter was resolved, Duplica was glad she can run her threatre once more.

A few seasons later, Ash, Misty, and Brock stumble upon a Pokémon Center where they can rest up, however, when they get there, they see that Nurse Joy isn't there. A girl from the shadows comes out, dressed up like Nurse Joy, and says that Nurse Joy is in the medical room, doing a check-up. Ash and Misty just assume that two Nurse Joys are working at this Pokémon Center, but Brock says that she wasn't Nurse Joy and that she was an imposter. The girl then says that she could never fool Brock and takes off her disguise to reveal that she is Duplica.
The old friends catch up while resting at the Pokémon Center, and Duplica tells them that she is there because there's a Pokémon Performance Competition that she was invited to perform in with her Ditto. She then tells them that she has caught a new Ditto since their departure, however, just like her first Ditto, this new Ditto also has a problem with transforming. The problem is that this Ditto, nicknamed "Minidit," can only transform into smaller versions of big Pokémon. Duplica sees this as a problem and wants to fix it, but Nurse Joy tells her that nothing is wrong with her Ditto, therefore, it should be fine. Later, Jessie and James see Minidit and hatch up a plan to steal it so that they can make it transform into a little Arbok, sell it to someone for a powerful Pokémon, then steal Minidit back and repeat the process. They successfully steal Minidit and make it transform into a mini Arbok and try to sell it to a crowd of people. Ash and his friends quickly catch word of this and go to see if it's Minidit. Duplica (although she has gloated about being able to tell her Ditto from any other Pokémon before) can not tell if this small Arbok is her Minidit or not. Meowth then loses his patience and talks, giving away Team Rocket's identity. Ash and Duplica then use Pikachu and the two Dittos to blast away Team Rocket. At the end of the episode, Duplica comes to terms and accepts Minidit's condition, she then makes a vow to capture different Dittos, each with their own way of transforming, and create a team of Dittos This was the last time Duplica was shown in the series.

However, they did have a rocky start whenever ditto could not transform, but even though Ditto couldn't transform all the way. After Team Rocket's interrogation, Ditto managed to overcome this problem | ||

Trivia
- Duplica's name is a parody of the word "Duplicate" which means "the same as something else."
- Duplica had to shut down the House of Imite when the crowd hated the fact that Ditto couldn't transform all the way, which is why it looked abandoned when Ash and his friends found it.
- The House of Imite is a parody on the word "imitate" which means "to act like someone or something else."
