To catch Ditto in *Pokemon GO*, you first need to familiarize yourself with its latest disguises, which involve a variety of different Pocket Monsters. Ditto, known as the Transform Pokemon, has been a staple in the game for years, and its unique ability to mimic other creatures sets it apart, similar to how Zorua functions in the game.
The disguises Ditto can take on change over time, but here's the most current list for March 2025:
As of March 2025, Ditto can disguise itself as 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 as regular wild spawns on your in-game map, there's a chance they might be a hidden Ditto.
To catch Ditto in *Pokemon GO*, you need to catch it in its disguised form. After capturing, it will revert to its original form before you reach the catch screen, where you can decide to keep or transfer it. You'll know you've caught a disguised Ditto when you see an "Oh?" pop up over your PokeBall. Once that happens, the caught Pokemon will transform into Ditto, and you'll have successfully added the elusive gooey-looking Pocket Monster to your collection.
Even with knowledge of its latest disguises, Ditto remains relatively rare in *Pokemon GO*. However, there's a key indicator to help identify a disguised Ditto: its low CP. Ditto's CP is typically lower than the Pokemon it mimics. For example, if you're a Level 50 Trainer, Ditto's maximum CP would be around 940, while Goldeen's max CP is approximately 1302. By keeping an eye out for Pokemon with unusually low CP, you can increase your chances of identifying and catching a 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 by identifying a Pokemon that's actually the purple blob in disguise, but you also need additional luck for that Ditto to be a Shiny variant.
To boost your chances of finding a Shiny Ditto, you can use spawn-increasing items like Incenses and Lure Modules to increase the number of spawns in general, hoping that some of these could be Ditto spawns, including the rare blue Shiny version. Even without extra PokeCoins, you can use your free Daily Adventure Incense to slightly enhance your odds of encountering a Ditto or a Shiny Ditto during its 15-minute duration.
