{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first met Duplica in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' after taking shelter from a storm in a mansion. Duplica owned the mansion, called the "The [[House of Imite]]", which serves as a rest stop and performance space for her imitation shows. She showed Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} her {{p|Ditto}}'s ability to {{m|Transform}} into any Pokémon. A skeptical Ash sent out his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to {{pkmn|battle}} Duplica's Ditto. Surprisingly enough, Bulbasaur lost against the imitation. Duplica then explained that her Ditto had trouble transforming one aspect of it — its face. No matter what Pokémon it transformed into, it always retained the beady eyes and wobbly mouth of a Ditto. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first met Duplica in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' after taking shelter from a storm in a mansion.

{{TRT}} kidnapped the Ditto. They wanted to have Duplica's Ditto transform into a {{p|Dratini}} so they could give it to {{an|Giovanni}}. After a while and with threats, they were able to train it to transform perfectly. Afterwards Ash, his friends and Duplica dressed up as Team Rocket and performed their own version of the trio's {{motto}} | {{TRT}} kidnapped the Ditto.

Later, in ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Brock noticed that a [[Nurse Joy]] they were talking to was an imitation.

It turned out to be Duplica, who had come to the local [[Johto]] town for a Pokémon Acting Competition.

Team Rocket stole Mini-Dit and planned to have it transform into a Pokémon that they could pass off as a rare, pygmy version in order to receive a powerful Pokémon in return. Duplica recovered Mini-Dit, using it in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Jessie]] and [[James]]. She and Ash then sent Team Rocket flying. In the end, Duplica decided that Mini-Dit's unusual transformations made it unique; the audience seemed to agree. | Team Rocket stole Mini-Dit and planned to have it transform into a Pokémon that they could pass off as a rare, pygmy version in order to receive a powerful Pokémon in return.
