For another month inPokémon GO, Ditto disguises remain unchanged.

Included in the list are four Generation 1 favorites, including the very common spawning Oddish and Koffing. Many of the above Pokémon only now appear during set times, or during certain events, so if you do see one, you should always attempt to capture it.Ditto has a lower catch rate than the Pokémon it disguises itself as, so if you are struggling to catch one of them, you should use berries to secure the catch, as it is likely to transform.
If you do come across a Ditto, you also have the chance to catch it in its shiny form. Each encounter with Ditto only has a1 in 64 chance of being in its Blue Shiny form, so you will likely have to hunt it down even more frequently if you wish to capture one.

How To Increase The Chances Of Finding Ditto
Items Key For More Spawns
While there is no guaranteed way to find a Ditto, there are several ways you can increase your chances of finding one. The best way to do this is to increase the overall number of spawning Pokémonthat you can encounter, thus giving you potential chances of finding a Ditto. One of the best ways to do this is by usingIncense items.Incense increases the number of Pokémon that spawn near your location for a set time, usually 30 or 60 minutes. This can be increased further during specific events. This will most often spawn the more common Pokémon, but that does include several of the potential Ditto disguises.
Using items is the only way to increase your chances of finding a Ditto in Pokémon GO.
Similar to Incense,Lures increase the number of Pokémon nearbyto a set location. They can only be placed on PokeStops, but increase the number of Pokémon that spawn near it, for all players, not just the one who has dropped the Lure. There are several different types of Lures, including some that increase the spawns of certain types of Pokémon. Another option isthe Daily Incense.While these can only be used once per day and only last for 15 minutes, they also increase the number of Pokémon that spawn in a nearby location.
The biggest thing you’re able to do to increase the chance of you finding a Ditto this month is by simply clicking on more Pokémon to encounter one of the possible disguises. Using items, such as Incense and Lures, is key to finding Ditto in one of its disguises in May 2025 inPokémon GO.
