Best Tips to Catch Ditto in Pokemon GO
Catching Ditto requires a combination of strategy, patience, and a bit of luck. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t find Ditto right away. Many trainers go weeks or months before encountering their first one. Here are some tips to increase your chances of catching a Ditto in Pokemon GO:
- Target Disguises: Focus on catching the Pokemon listed above, as they are potential Ditto disguises.
- Use Incense and Lure Modules: These items increase overall Pokemon spawns, potentially including Ditto disguises.
- Leverage Weather Boosts: Ditto’s spawn rate increases in partly cloudy weather. Use this to your advantage.
- Utilize Daily Adventure Incense: This special item attracts unique Pokemon for 15 minutes daily, potentially including Ditto.
- Be Persistent: Ditto has a low catch rate, estimated at around 1 in 50. Keep trying, and eventually, you’ll succeed.
Is Shiny Ditto Available in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Ditto is available in Pokemon GO, but it’s pretty rare. Instead of the usual purple color, Shiny Ditto will be blue. You can only find Shiny Ditto in the wild. It doesn’t hatch from eggs, so you don’t have to waste your time hoping for one from an incubator. This goes for regular Ditto too as they’re wild-only Pokemon.
Here’s something to remember: if you see a shiny version of a Pokemon that could be Ditto (like a shiny Oddish), it will never be a Ditto. This way, you don’t miss out on other rare shiny Pokemon. Finding a Shiny Ditto takes time and luck. Keep catching the Pokemon on the current Ditto disguise list, and eventually, you might get lucky and find a blue one.
It might take a while, but it’s well worth the effort. After all, if you’re aiming to “Catch ’em all,” you can’t skip the master of disguise!
