All Ditto Disguises in Pokémon GO

Select Language:

Ditto is well-known in Pokémon GO for its ability to change into other Pokémon, often disguising itself so well that it’s hard to tell it apart from the real creature. Unless you battle one of Ditto’s possible disguises, it’s almost impossible to catch this elusive Normal-type Pokémon. In October 2025, the Pokémon Ditto might be hiding as different Pokémon, so you might need to look for new encounters.

Although recent updates to Pokémon GO have brought changes to the game, Ditto disguises are still updated from time to time. The latest “Completely Normal” event expanded the variety of Pokémon that Ditto can pretend to be, making it more challenging to identify.

All Ditto Disguises in Pokémon GO (October 2025)

In October 2025, there are 12 new Pokémon disguises that Ditto can take on, building on the updates from recent events. Knowing which Pokémon Ditto is mimicking can help you focus your search and increase your chances of encountering it.

Currently, Ditto can transform into:

Growlithe
Mankey
Magnemite
Voltorb
Whismur
Surskit
Seedot
Sentret
Teddiursa
Slakoth
Buneary
Duskull (only at night)

Duskull is a bit trickier to find since it only appears at night, but the other disguises are more common. Depending on your location, some may be easy to find, while others might be quite rare.

Tip: If you want to find Ditto more easily, look for areas where its disguises tend to spawn, especially during special events or raids. Pokémon GO often has Pokémon spawn in higher numbers during site-specific raids and community events, increasing your chances of encountering Ditto in disguise.

How to Find and Catch Ditto

To encounter Ditto, start by engaging any Pokémon listed above and then throw a Poké Ball. If you’ve found the right Pokémon, a message saying “Oh?” will appear, and the Pokémon will transform into Ditto. From there, catch it as you would any other Pokémon.

Tips to Increase Your Odds of Finding Ditto

There are several strategies to raise your chances of running into Ditto or its disguises. The key is to increase the spawn rates of the Pokémon it mimics.

Using Daily Incense can attract more Pokémon, increasing your chance of Ditto appearing.
Lures at Poké Stops boost Pokémon spawns significantly, which can help you encounter Ditto disguises more often.
Participating in events that feature certain Pokémon will also raise their spawn rates in your area.

Remember, the chance of finding a shiny Ditto remains the same as other Pokémon, about 1 in 64. So, keep trying and stay persistent! These disguises probably won’t change again until another big event, giving you plenty of time to hunt for Ditto with these options.
