To catch Ditto in *Pokemon GO*, you first need to be aware of its latest disguises, which involve transforming into a variety of other Pocket Monsters. Ditto, known as the Transform Pokemon, has been a part of the game for years, and its unique mechanic of disguising itself as other creatures is now paralleled by additions like Zorua.
As of March 2025, Ditto can appear disguised as Bergmite, Bidoof, Goldeen, Gothita, Koffing, Numel, Oddish, Rhyhorn, Solosis, Spinarak, and Stufful. You can see these disguises in the image below.

If you encounter and catch any of these Pokemon in the wild, there's a chance they might be a Ditto in disguise. Upon catching a disguised Ditto, it will revert to its original form before you reach the catch screen, where you can choose to keep or transfer it. You'll know you've caught a Ditto when you see an "Oh?" appear over your PokeBall, and the caught Pokemon will then transform into Ditto.
How Rare is Ditto in Pokemon GO?
Despite knowing its disguises, Ditto remains a rare find in *Pokemon GO*. However, there's a way to spot a Ditto in disguise: its low Combat Power (CP). For example, at Trainer Level 50, Ditto's max CP is around 940, while Goldeen's max CP is about 1302. By looking for Pokemon with unexpectedly low CP, you can increase your chances of identifying a Ditto.

In *Pokemon GO*, the chance of encountering a Shiny Ditto in the wild is 1 in 64, making it exceptionally rare. To improve your chances of finding a Shiny Ditto, you can use items like Incenses and Lure Modules to increase the number of spawns, thereby increasing the potential for encountering a Ditto, which might turn out to be shiny. Even without spending PokeCoins, you can use your free Daily Adventure Incense for a 15-minute boost in spawns, which could help you find a Ditto or even a Shiny one.
