Ditto is one of the most wanted Pokémon in Pokémon GO , due to the fact that it is one of the rarest. Although somewhat weak, this Pokémon is popular due to its transformation mechanics. Also, capturing it is necessary to complete one of the tasks in the mission “Let’s GO Meltan! 3/9”.
Let’s be clear: Ditto can only be obtained by finding him in the wild. What happens is that he never appears in his original form, that is, he will always disguise himself as another Pokémon . To know if there is a chance that you are facing a Ditto, it is useful to know which Pokémon it pretends to be.
Costumes that Ditto wears in Pokémon GO
In the table above you can see all the Pokémon that Ditto will transform into in the wild. Therefore, every time you see one of these Pokémon, try to catch it! Don’t miss any opportunity. On the other hand, knowing which Pokémon it transforms into will help you avoid capturing other creatures that are not on the list in vain.
From time to time, Ditto’s list of “costumes” can change a bit, especially in updates that include new Pokémon. In the event that you capture one of the Pokémon shown above, if it turns out to be a Ditto, it will be revealed upon successful capture.
It’s worth mentioning that any Ditto already included in your collection serves to complete the “Let’s GO Meltan!” quest. The game forces you to capture a Ditto from the moment the task is enabled, not before! Therefore, if you have not yet reached that phase of the mission, we recommend not spending too much time searching for Dittos.
