Tips on catching Ditto in Pokémon Go
Now you know which Pokémon to target, how can you improve your chances of nabbing a Ditto? You need to increase the rate of Pokémon you encounter and catch, hoping that at least one of those will be the blobby chap of your dreams.
The easiest way of doing that is to take advantage oflures and incense. Dittos are attracted to the same lures and incense as the Pokémon they’re pretending to be, allowing you to drop one of the traps and wait for the ‘mons to come to you. See a creature that appears in the list above? Jump on it and hope it’s actually a Ditto.
If you are going to use lures and incense, we would recommend doing so only for a bit and using up one of your Lucky Eggs to increase the amount of Pokémon nearby and the amount of XP you get per catch – it’s a great way to power level. With that in mind, however, sometimes there are special events inPokémon Gothat will increase Incense time from 60 minutes to three hours, so you could be much more efficient if you wait until an event is happening.
It’s also worth remembering that disguised Ditto locations areuniversal. If another player captures a Ditto from a specific spot, you can head there and do the same. Ask your friends if they’ve seen a Ditto recently, or check out onlinePokémon Gogroups local to you in case anyone can give you useful neighborhood tip-offs.
How to catch Shiny Ditto in Pokémon Go
That’s right,Ditto can indeed be Shiny inPokémon Go. The main problem is that, well, it’s usually disguised as another Pokémon. To get a Shiny Ditto you will need to go after the Pokémon from the current disguises list, until you find one.
There is a very small chance of getting one, like with most Shiny Pokemon, and it’s worth noting that other Shiny Pokémon cannot be a Shiny Ditto. If you catch a Shiny Pokémon from the disguises list above, it will not turn into a Shiny Ditto, or indeed a Ditto at all. Keep going after Pokémon like Starly and Grimer, and you will eventually get yourself a Shiny Ditto. You’ll just need to get lucky.
