All Ditto Disguises in Pokémon GO (May 2026)

Select Language:

Recently in Pokémon GO, Ditto, a Normal-type Pokémon, has been getting a lot of attention. Its appearances have increased, especially following the release of Pokémon Pokopia, which challenges players to build their own community with Ditto disguised as humans. In Pokémon GO, Ditto also tends to hide among existing Pokémon. As of May 2026, Ditto has returned to its old habits after various crossover and anniversary events, confusing many players once again.

Like the disguises from April 2026, Ditto may now have a longer list of Pokémon it imitates. Despite this expansion, the process of finding Ditto remains simple. The key is to catch any Pokémon that Ditto could be disguised as. After catching one, you’ll see an “Oh?” message if it’s a Ditto in disguise, revealing its true form.

Some Pokémon appear repeatedly across different disguise lists, making them prime targets for players hunting Ditto. Pokémon like Magnemite, Voltorb, Growlithe, and Mankey are frequently used as disguises, especially since some, like Duskull, are only found at night. Focusing on the Pokémon that are consistently visible around you can improve your chances of encountering Ditto.

### Tips to Increase Your Chances of Finding Ditto

Certain items can boost your odds of encountering Ditto. Using a Lure Module or Incense increases the spawn rates of all Pokémon nearby, making it more likely for one of Ditto’s disguises to appear quickly. Playing with friends and activating these items together can make hunting more successful.

Participating in special research during events can also boost your chances of encountering Ditto disguises. Shiny Ditto is even rarer, with about a 1 in 64 chance of any Ditto being shiny. Considering the difficulty, catching a shiny Ditto requires patience.

While Ditto’s disguises are more varied than before, catching one can still be a challenge. It may take multiple attempts—10, 20, or even 30—to find the transformed pink blob you want. Thankfully, with the broader range of disguises available in May 2026, your search has become a bit easier.
