This Pok\u00e9mon has a unique mechanic that makes it more difficult to find than other species because it never appears in the overworld map. When you come across certain Pok\u00e9mon and try to capture them, there's a low chance it's Ditto in disguise. The odds of that Pok\u00e9mon being a Ditto are fairly slim, and there's no guarantee you might ever find one in the wild. But knowing which Pok\u00e9mon to look out for is crucial if you want to try and find one. When you find a Ditto, you'll know it as soon as you catch one of a few select Pok\u00e9mon. After catching it, the message \"Oh?\" appears above its head, and you get sent to a screen where the Pok\u00e9mon turns into a Ditto with a simple animation, revealing your catch as a purple blob of a creature. This month's Ditto disguises in Pok\u00e9mon Go Ditto in\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Go\u00a0can be disguised as a range of Pok\u00e9mon. This month, all of the Pok\u00e9mon that have a slim chance of being a disguised Ditto are as follows: Dito Disguised Pok\u00e9monOddish Koffing Rhyhorn Goldeen Spinarak Numel Bidoof Gothita Solosis Bergmite Stufful Despite Galar Pok\u00e9mon being added to the game last week, there are still no signs of any new Ditto disguises. The list of Pok\u00e9mon this month that Ditto can be disguised as is the same as last month, with no new Pok\u00e9mon potentially stepping up to hide a Ditto encounter. We imagine that further down the line, Pok\u00e9mon like Skowvet and Wooloo could eventually turn into potential Ditto spawns and a few common Pok\u00e9mon you can find in the wild. The list usually changes frequently, but as Niantic focuses on the new seasonal content and adds more Galar Pok\u00e9mon into the mix, Ditto is likely taking a sideline until we return to our usual content structure. Can Ditto be shiny in Pok\u00e9mon Go? Yes, Ditto can be Shiny in Pok\u00e9mon Go. The odds of getting a Shiny Ditto, though, are unconfirmed. While many people think it's the usual base rate of 1\/512, if we had to guess, the likelihood of finding a Shiny Ditto could be a lot higher due to how rare the Pok\u00e9mon is to find normally. But since Niantic has never officially revealed the shiny odds or how likely it is to find a shiny Ditto, all we can do is guess. You'll know if you catch a Shiny Ditto straight away. When you see the animation that shows the wild Pok\u00e9mon turning into a Ditto, a blue shiny Ditto will appear if you've found a Shiny one, similar to how Zoroark and other hidden shiny Pok\u00e9mon reveal themselves. Having a shiny Ditto is the ultimate flex because of how rare it is to find a Ditto anyway. Hopefully for players, a Kanto or Ditto event will return in the future to make it much easier to find for all those trainers looking to complete a Shiny Pok\u00e9dex.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ditto-pokemon-go-3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352587"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/916"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1352587"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1487900,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352587\/revisions\/1487900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1177621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1352587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1352587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1352587"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1352587"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1352587"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1352587"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1352587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
