Which Pokemon Does Ditto Transform Into?

Ditto usually transforms itself into a Pidgey or Rattata, which is why it may be harder to find! However, once you catch the Pidgey or Rattata that Ditto transformed into, it will revert back to its original form.

Not Necessarily Shiny When It Transforms To Shiny Pokemon

When you catch a Ditto that has transformed into a Shiny Pokemon, it does not mean that the Ditto you caught is Shiny! It can only copy which is why it can transform into Shiny Pokemon.

Shiny Ditto Not Yet Found

Shiny Ditto are not yet found within the game at the time of writing. Therefore, one cannot catch a Shiny Ditto yet.

How To Distinguish Ditto From Other Pokemon

Dittos Have A Low Catch Rate

Ditto's capture rate is very low! Therefore if you cannot capture a low CP Pidgey or Rattata with a Poke Ball, it may be a Ditto! Switch to a Great or Ultra Ball to ensure that you capture it!

Talk To Other Trainers In The Field

Ditto will transform back to its original form once it's caught! Talk to trainers in the area who just caught a Ditto, and ask them which Pokemon it transformed into. The Pokemon should appear in your immediate area!

Catch Via A Quest (Limited Time Only)

For a limited time, there was a quest that tasked you to "throw an Excellent Throw once". Completing this will let the Ditto appear for you to catch.
