To successfully catch Ditto in *Pokemon GO*, it's crucial to stay updated on its latest disguises, which mimic various Pocket Monsters. Ditto, known as the Transform Pokemon, has been a challenging catch since its introduction to the game, employing a unique mechanic of appearing as other creatures, a feature now also seen with Pokemon like Zorua.
The list of Ditto's disguises changes periodically, but for March 2025, here's what you need to know:

As of March 2025, Ditto can appear disguised as Bergmite, Bidoof, Goldeen, Gothita, Koffing, Numel, Oddish, Rhyhorn, Solosis, Spinarak, and Stufful. Their appearances are illustrated in the image above. When you encounter and catch any of these Pokemon in the wild, there's a chance it could be Ditto in disguise.
To catch Ditto, you'll need to capture one of these Pokemon first. After the catch, if it was Ditto, it will revert to its true form before you're taken to the catch screen, where you can decide to keep or transfer it. You'll know you've caught a disguised Ditto when you see an "Oh?" pop up over your PokeBall, and then the Pokemon transforms into Ditto, adding the elusive creature to your collection.
How Rare is Ditto in Pokemon GO?
Even with knowledge of its disguises, Ditto remains a rare find in *Pokemon GO*. However, there's a key indicator to help identify Ditto in its disguised form: its low CP. For example, if you're a Level 50 Trainer, Ditto's maximum CP would be around 940, significantly lower than Goldeen's maximum CP of about 1302. Keeping an eye out for Pokemon with unexpectedly low CP can increase your chances of spotting a Ditto.

In *Pokemon GO*, the odds of encountering a Shiny Ditto in the wild are slim, with a 1 in 64 chance. This rarity compounds the challenge of finding a Ditto in the first place. To boost your chances of encountering Ditto, and potentially a Shiny one, you can use items like Incenses and Lure Modules to increase overall spawn rates. Even without extra PokeCoins, you can use your free Daily Adventure Incense to slightly enhance your odds for 15 minutes each day.
