Want to know how to catch a Ditto in Pokemon GO? This master of disguise hails from the Kanto region and was introduced to the mobile title in 2016. Unlike the main series of games where Ditto’s primary purpose is to produce a litany of Poke-babies, its job in Pokemon GO seems to be annoying players in search of it. Here’s how to track it down.
How to Catch Ditto In Pokemon GO (July 2023)
Ditto makes use of its ability to morph into other Pokemon to remain largely undetected. Developer Niantic will regularly rotate out which Pokemon Ditto can disguise itself as. Armed with the knowledge of what the disguises could be, it falls to trainers to nab each and every single one they see.
Once the Pokemon has been captured, if it is in fact a Ditto, the capture screen will say “Oh?” instead of “Gotcha!.” At that point, the disguised Pokemon will morph into the Transformation Pokemon.
