Ditto can be one of the trickiest Pocket Monsters of Pokémon Go to find because of the various disguises the purple blob can take, even in November 2024.

Unlike other Pokémon appearing on the game's map, the Transform Pokemon takes the form of other Pocket Monsters that must be caught before revealing itself.

While the collection of other Pokémon Ditto can take the form of changes multiple times throughout the year, we have the latest collection of disguises to help you find one for yourself.

If your feet get sore whilst Ditto hunting, try donning a pair of Pokémon Crocs so you can keep filling up your Pokédex in style. There isn't a Pokémon Soda Pop plushie for it just yet, though maybe we can pretend one of them is a Ditto in disguise.

For any holding out hope that the Pokémon Le Creuset set will come to the UK – then ditto!

In the meantime, let's get into how to catch Ditto in Pokémon Go.

All current Ditto disguises in Pokémon Go: November 2024

As of November 2024, the only way to find Ditto in Pokémon Go is by encountering it as one of the Pokémon in its current set of disguises like Oddish, Gothita and Solosis:

  • Bergmite
  • Bidoof
  • Goldeen
  • Gothita
  • Koffing
  • Numel
  • Oddish
  • Rhyhorn
  • Solosis
  • Spinarak
  • Stufful

Catch any of the Pokémon in the list above and there’s a chance that it will be a Ditto in disguise.

Unfortunately, we’re not sure what the chances are of any Pokémon being a Ditto in disguise. This is something Niantic and The Pokémon Company have kept under wraps.

How to catch a Ditto in Pokémon Go

By looking out for one of the Pokémon mentioned in the list of disguises above, you can find Ditto by catching one of them before the catch screen has the word "Oh?" pop up in the Pokémon Go catch screen. There, Ditto will revert to its original form.

While there isn't a way to increase the odds of having Ditto spawn specifically in Pokémon Go, you can use Incenses to increase spawns altogether.

You'll hopefully find more Pokémon from the list of Ditto disguises pop up, so you can try to get more through trial and error.

Ditto also typically had less CP than most of its disguised forms in Pokémon Go. So, if you're in a hurry and only have time to throw Poké Balls at one potential Ditto in disguise on your map, always go with the weakest.

If exploring a minimally populated area, like a village or a small town, while playing Pokémon Go, you'll get enough regular spawns where at least one will eventually be Ditto with enough luck and if you catch every Pocket Monster from the disguises list that appears.

How to get Shiny Ditto in Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go players can find a Shiny Ditto by catching one of the Pocket Monsters in the latest list of disguises from above.

It’s worth remembering that if one of the Pokémon in the list is a Shiny, it cannot be a Ditto – catch it anyway, though, because who doesn’t like Shinies?

Shiny Ditto is still a very rare spawn in Pokémon Go, with a 1/64 chance of encountering one, but is still much more common than the 1/512 odds for finding a Shiny through standard encounters in the game.

As far as anyone is aware, there’s no way to increase your chances of finding a Shiny Ditto, but you can also use Incenses and Lure Modules to bolster your trial and error through increased spawns overall.

Two years in a row now, though, Niantic has made Ditto more plentiful during events – the 2022 April Fools' event and the 2023 Let’s Go event.

Fingers crossed more of these events take place soon.
