Ditto, the shape-shifting Pokémon, is set to reappear in Pokémon GO in August 2025. Even though there are many new Pokémon available during recent events like Water Festival 2025, catching a Ditto remains quite challenging. Since its debut in Pokémon GO, Ditto has stood out because of the unique way it’s caught.
Ditto doesn’t show up directly on the nearby Pokémon list. Instead, it disguises itself as various other Pokémon, so you won’t know if you’ve found a Ditto until after you’ve caught it. However, there are some tips you can follow to boost your chances of finding one this month.
All Disguises for Ditto in August 2025
The key to increasing your chances is knowing which Pokémon Ditto can mimic. Once you’re familiar with these, you can focus on catching them whenever you see them. Luckily, Ditto’s disguise list doesn’t change much over time. As of August 2025, it can disguise itself as:
- Oddish
- Goldeen
- Rhyhorn
- Koffing
- Spinarak
- Numel
- Bidoof
- Solosis
- Gothita
- Bergmite
- Stufful
When you catch any of these Pokémon, there’s a chance it might turn into Ditto afterward. After throwing a Poké Ball, if you see the message “Oh,” congratulations—you’ve caught a Ditto. While some of these Pokémon are rare, many, like Koffing, appear frequently. Lately, many players have found Ditto disguised as Koffing quite often.
Tips to Find More Dittos
Use Items to Boost Spawns:
You can improve your chances by using items like Incense or Daily Incense, which increase the number of Pokémon appearing around you. More Pokémon mean a higher chance that one of the potential disguises might be a Ditto.
Lures and Multiple PokeStops:
Lure Modules placed at PokéStops attract Pokémon to that location for everyone nearby. If you find several PokéStops close together, setting Lures on all of them can significantly increase the number of Pokémon spawning in a short period.
Catch Every Disguise:
Be sure to catch all Pokémon that match the Ditto disguises list. Even if you don’t get a Ditto immediately, catching these Pokémon consistently gives you more opportunities. Keep in mind, Ditto’s disguise list might change during future seasonal events like the current Delightful Days season.
Shiny Ditto
Good news: Ditto’s shiny form is also available! You can catch shiny Dittos using the same method as normal Dittos.
Although Ditto is one of the rarest Pokémon to find, by using items and being aware of its disguises, you increase your chances of catching one this August. Stay persistent, and good luck!
