Quick Links One of the most rare and unique Pokémon in Pokémon GO, Ditto, is available for you to catch once again in May 2024. Ditto is different from every other Pokémon in that it uses Transform to appear as other types of Pokémon in the wild. Like in the TV Show, Ditto hides its true identity in Pokémon GO, making it much trickier to catch.
Ditto has a lower catch rate than most of these eleven Pokémon, so if you are struggling to catch one, that increases the chance that it will transform. Hence, it is a good idea to use Berries and better PokéBalls to ensure it doesn't run away. The most common Pokémon that Ditto can disguise itself are Gen 2 Spinarak, Gen 4 Bidoof, or Gen 7 Stufful. These three Pokémon all spawn at a regular rate, regardless of any events that are taking place.
One way to do this is to use regular Incense or your Daily Adventure Incense to increase the number of spawns in your nearby location. You can also use Lures on PokéStops to increase the number of Pokémon that will appear around that stop. How To Catch a Shiny Ditto A 1 in 64 chance While it is hard to find any Ditto in Pokemon GO, there is a chance that you can catch the even rarer Shiny Ditto, which appears Blue, as opposed to its normal Pink color. The shiny version of the Generation One Pokémon was added to the game as part of a special event in 2021 and has since appeared in Special Research.
