In Pokémon GO, the rare and tricky-to-find Pokémon Ditto is a Normal-type that can change its appearance to look like other Pokémon. You won’t find Ditto appearing normally in the wild; instead, it disguises itself as different Pokémon, and its appearance can shift over time. Sometimes, Ditto will mimic certain Pokémon, making it a challenge to spot unless you pay close attention. In November 2025, the list of Pokémon it can resemble is short but useful for trainers wanting to catch one.
Recent updates to Pokémon GO often include changes to Ditto’s disguises. Although there haven’t been big changes to which Pokémon Ditto can imitate recently, expected events in November 2025 might bring updates. As new events are announced, check carefully for mentions of Ditto to stay updated on what disguises it might use.
### All Disguises of Ditto in Pokémon GO (November 2025)
Ditto’s disguises are mostly the same as the previous month, following the “Completely Normal” event held earlier this fall. Each Pokémon that Ditto could look like may still appear in normal locations or during events, making them easier to find if you know what to look for. Many of these Pokémon appear naturally in the wild or around key spots, despite being potential Ditto disguises.
One example is Duskull, a Ghost-type Pokémon that usually appears at night. For November 2025, Ditto might disguise itself as one of 12 different Pokémon, including:
– Buneary (Normal)
– Mankey (Fighting)
– Voltorb (Electric)
– Seedot (Grass)
– Whismur (Normal)
– Duskull (Ghost)
– Surskit (Bug/Water)
– Growlithe (Fire)
– Magnemite (Steel/Electric)
– Sentret (Normal)
– Teddiursa (Normal)
– Slakoth (Normal)
### Tips for Finding Ditto
A good way to find Ditto is to see if it’s one of the Pokémon associated with upcoming events. Participating in events can improve your chances because they often feature specific Pokémon, and completing certain research tasks can lead to encounters with Ditto disguised as these Pokémon. Instead of hunting wild Pokémon, joining events makes catching Ditto easier.
When you encounter a Pokémon that might be a Ditto, try catching it normally with a Poké Ball. If it is a Ditto, you’ll see a message like “Oh?” before it transforms into Ditto.
Using items such as Incense or Lure Modules can also increase your chances of encountering Ditto disguises. Incense attracts Pokémon to your location, while Lure Modules make them appear at PokéStops nearby. Both can boost your chances of finding Ditto and even its shiny form.
### Shiny Chances for Ditto
The chance to find a shiny Ditto is the same as any shiny Pokémon, at about 1 in 64 encounters. However, you can’t identify a shiny Ditto by its disguise. For example, if you see a shiny Slakoth, it’s not a Ditto in disguise — it’s just a shiny Slakoth. Conversely, a normal (non-shiny) Slakoth could be a Ditto or a shiny Ditto.
When you catch a Ditto, shiny or not, remember that it can’t be used in battles involving Gym or Raid fights. It’s more for completing your collection because Ditto only copies the moves and stats of other Pokémon, not their health, making it weak in fights. Building multiple Dittos and giving them candy can increase their strength, but finding them first is the most important step. Whether or not you want to hunt for shiny versions, Ditto disguises in November 2025 are similar to previous months, making them slightly easier to find until new updates change how Ditto hides.
