I would assume that the two Ditto won't transform, and thus can only use Struggle. But what I also want to know is what would happen if you switched to another Pokémon, then back to Ditto, while facing the same Ditto?
Also, does Struggle do recoil damage like in the normal games?
When you encounter a pokémon, one of the icons that appears will be labelled AR. AR stands for Augmented Reality. Simply select this toggle to turn it on or off.
This took me a while to notice, but when in its 'off' state, pokémon go plays in a pre-rendered scene, as opposed to using the camera and gyro.
In laymans terms, the pokémon will always be straight in front of you. You do not have to move the phone around sporadically in order to keep the pokémon on screen, and can play pokémon go as if it was a typical phone game.
Yes, you can keep attacking a gym as often as you wish, provided you have the Pokémon with health to do it. I think there is a limit to how much prestige you can have and the level of the gym, but you can train at a gym as much as you want without a cooldown, and you will get experience from it every time.
