Ditto is one of the most challenging Pokemon to find in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players where they can find and capture it. Pokemon Go introduces new ways for players to capture a handful of Pokemon. For example, players are able to evolve their Eevee depending on the type of nickname they gave them. The Pokemon series has been known for decades for having unique ways of catching its most secretive creatures. In Pokemon X and Y, players literally had to flip their entire Nintendo 3DS upside down to evolve Inkay into a Malamar. In the case of Pokemon Go, Ditto is one of the more challenging Pokemon to encounter. This guide will show players where they can find them.

Ditto is 1 out of the available 151 Pokemon available from the Kanto region. Its schtick is that it has the ability to transform into another Pokemon in an instant. In Pokemon Go, players won't be able to encounter Ditto in its natural form. It will only appear in the form of a different Pokemon. It's fairly likely that the player has walked right past a Ditto and had no idea. Although, there are a few things players can do to increase their chances of finding one. Here is how players can find a Ditto.

Ultimately, it comes down to sheer luck. When exploring the world, Ditto has the chance to appear when capturing one of these Pokemon.

  • Paras
  • Hoothoot
  • Spinrak
  • Hoppip
  • Remoraid
  • Whismur
  • Gulpin
  • Numel
  • Bidoof
  • Foongus

Once the player has captured one of these Pokemon, it has the chance to transform into its natural form of Ditto. The real heartbreaker here is that it is extremely rare to find a Ditto, making it one of the most challenging Pokemon to encounter in the game. Players can increase their chances of finding more Pokemon by using Lures and Incense items but there is no direct way to make any of these Pokemon change into a Ditto. Hopefully, the game will host an event to help players find this elusive Pokemon. For now, may the odds be ever in your favor.

Pokemon Go is hosting tons of events to celebrate the series' 25th anniversary. Collection challenges, Community Days, Shiny Raid battles, and so much more. It's only February and the events just keep on rolling out. Ditto might make an appearance during one of these events if the player is lucky enough.
