To catch the elusive Ditto in Pokémon GO, you first need to know its current disguises. This shape-shifting Pokémon has been a part of the game for years, its ability to transform into other creatures making it a unique challenge, similar to the tricky Zorua.
While Ditto's disguises change, we've got the most up-to-date list for you.
Pokémon GO Ditto Disguises (March 2025)
As of March 2025, Ditto can disguise itself as Bergmite, Bidoof, Goldeen, Gothita, Koffing, Numel, Oddish, Rhyhorn, Solosis, Spinarak, and Stufful (see image above). If you encounter and catch any of these Pokémon in the wild, there's a chance it's a disguised Ditto.
After catching a disguised Ditto, it will reveal its true form before the catch screen appears. You'll know you've caught a Ditto if you see an "Oh?" pop up above your Poké Ball. The caught Pokémon will then transform into Ditto, and you'll have successfully added this slippery Pokémon to your collection!

How Rare Is Ditto in Pokémon GO?
Even knowing its disguises, Ditto remains relatively rare. However, there's a clue: Ditto's CP (Combat Power) is usually lower than the Pokémon it's disguised as. For example, at Trainer Level 50, Ditto might have a maximum CP of around 940, while Goldeen might have a maximum CP of approximately 1302. Keep an eye out for lower-than-expected CPs to increase your chances of spotting a disguised Ditto.

How Rare Is a Shiny Ditto in Pokémon GO?
Any wild Ditto has a 1 in 64 chance of being Shiny, making it extremely rare. Finding a Shiny Ditto requires both luck in encountering a Ditto and additional luck in that Ditto being the rarer, differently colored version. Using Incense and Lure Modules to increase spawns can slightly improve your odds, as can utilizing your free Daily Adventure Incense for a short boost.
