Ditto is a unique Pokemon that possesses the ability to transform into any other Pokemon it encounters. Therefore, figuring out what exactly a Ditto looks like in the game can be quite tricky. Ditto is a purple blob that can transform into any other Pokemon except for legendary ones, such as Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, and Celebi.
The only way to catch a Ditto in Pokemon Go is by other Pokemon, as Ditto will transform into one of them. Hence, you need to catch every Pokemon that can potentially be a Ditto, and it can get quite tiresome trying to catch them all.
Here is a list of Pokemon that Ditto can transform into in Pokemon Go:
● Pidgey
● Rattata
● Zubat
● Gastly
● Sentret
● Yanma
● Hoothoot
● Gulpin
● Whismur
● Numel
● Paras
● Remoraid
Once you catch one of the Pokemon mentioned above, and the message pops up on your screen that states, ‘Oh no! This Pokemon may be a Ditto in disguise,’ it means that you have encountered a Ditto, and it is time for battle.
Ditto’s combat capabilities are not too significant, but it has the ability to mimic the moves of the Pokemon that it has transformed into. Keep in mind that Ditto has low HP, so make sure you throw Pokeballs carefully and hit Ditto to ensure you don’t run out of Pokeballs.
One of the recent updates to Pokemon Go has made it easier to catch Ditto. You will now receive a notification at the bottom of the screen after capturing a Pokemon that can transform into Ditto, stating that you have caught Ditto.
You can also increase your chances of finding Ditto by participating in special events. During special events, Pokemon become more abundant, and you can increase your chances of capturing a Pokemon that can be Ditto in disguise. Keep an eye out for any announcements about special events and make sure to participate, as you might just catch yourself a Ditto.
In conclusion, catching a Ditto in Pokemon Go can be a daunting task, but with a mix of patience, consistency, and attention to details, you will be able to find and catch a Ditto. Make sure to catch as many Pokemon as possible, have enough Pokeballs, and participate in special events if possible. Who knows, your next catch might just be a Ditto. Good luck, trainers!
