To successfully catch Ditto in *Pokemon GO*, you first need to familiarize yourself with its current disguises, which involve various Pocket Monsters. Ditto, known as the Transform Pokemon, has been a staple in the game for years, using its unique ability to mimic other creatures—a feature that's akin to the newer addition, Zorua.
As we move into March 2025, Ditto's disguises have been updated, and you can find them listed below:
The current disguises for Ditto in *Pokemon GO* as of March 2025 include Bergmite, Bidoof, Goldeen, Gothita, Koffing, Numel, Oddish, Rhyhorn, Solosis, Spinarak, and Stufful. These disguises are depicted in the image above. If you encounter and catch any of these Pokemon in the wild, there's a chance they could be a Ditto in disguise.
To catch Ditto in *Pokemon GO*, you'll need to capture one of these disguised Pokemon. After catching it, the Pokemon will transform back into Ditto before you get to the catch screen, allowing you to decide whether to keep or transfer it. You'll know you've caught a Ditto when you see an "Oh?" appear above your PokeBall, followed by the Pokemon reverting to Ditto, finally adding this elusive creature to your collection.
Even with knowledge of its disguises, Ditto remains a rare find in *Pokemon GO*. However, there's a subtle clue to help identify it: Ditto's Combat Power (CP) is typically lower than the Pokemon it's disguised as. For example, if you're a Level 50 Trainer, Ditto's maximum CP would be around 940, while Goldeen's could reach up to approximately 1302. Keeping an eye out for lower CP Pokemon can increase your chances of spotting a disguised Ditto.
In *Pokemon GO*, the chance of encountering a Shiny Ditto in the wild is 1 in 64, making it extremely rare. Not only do you need to find a Ditto among its disguises, but you also require extra luck for it to be Shiny. To boost your chances of encountering Ditto, and possibly a Shiny one, use items like Incenses and Lure Modules to increase spawn rates. Even if you're short on PokeCoins, remember to use your free Daily Adventure Incense, which gives you a 15-minute window to potentially spot a Ditto or its Shiny variant.
