Ditto remains one of the most unique Pokémon to catch inPokémon GO, and knowing what it can disguise itself as is vital to increase your chances of finding one. Unlike regular Pokémon, Ditto does not appear on the in-game map as itself. Instead, Ditto will disguise itself as one of several Pokémon. Catching it remains one of the biggest challenges inPokémon GO, alongside beating the currentRaid Bosses scheduled for April 2025.
Ditto will only appear as itself after you have caught one of its disguises,meaning you won’t know when trying to catch one of the potential disguises. While it has been possible to catch it for a number of years inPokémon GO,most trainers will not have regularly seen it in the game.

How To Increase The Chances Of Finding Ditto
Using Items Key To Finding Ditto
Beyond simply catching every possible Ditto disguise whenever you see them, there are several other ways you can increase your chances of catching one this month inPokémon GO.This is by using items to increase the number of spawns you will get around you, increasing your chances of those Pokémon being a Ditto in disguise.
There is no way to directly increase the rate of Ditto spawns, but you can use items to increase the overall number of Pokémon that will spawn, giving you a better chance of finding one.
The best way to do this is using Incense andDaily IncenseinPokémon GO.Both types of Incense increase the number of spawns near your location for a short time. Incense normally lasts for an hour and will spawn in any Pokémon that would regularly spawn at that time, but at a greater rate. The time they last is often increased during specific events, so it can be worth using these when they occur. They do cost PokéCoins from the in-game shop. The Daily Incense is free, but only lasts for 15 minutes.
You can also catch a shiny version of Ditto. It has better shiny odds than most Pokémon, with approximately a 1 in 64 chance each time you find one.
In addition to Incense,Lure Modules also increase the number of Pokémon that spawn at a specific location. They are placed onto PokéStops and then increase the spawns of any player that comes nearby. These are especially useful in locations where several PokéStops are placed close together, significantly increasing spawn rates nearby.
