List of Pokémon Go Ditto disguises for March 2023

As above is an elusive Pokémon in Pokémon gobecause it disguises itself and you can’t really catch one right away.

To find Ditto, you’ll want to find the Pokémon it’s currently disguised as. For example, you can see a Diglett and it will still be Diglett after you touch it, but secretly it’s a Ditto. When you catch that Pokémon, you’ll be met with a “Oh?” prompt and it will turn into Ditto – if you’re lucky.

Ditto’s chosen disguises change over time, so you’ll want to make sure you know what the current disguises are if you’re hunting Ditto—especially if you’re after the shiny.

Below, we list out the current Ditto camouflage ways.

Finding a shiny Ditto is just luck of the draw. Any Ditto you find and catch has a chance to be shiny and the shine rate is higher than usual. Expert research group The Silph Road says that the chance to become shiny is 1/64. You’ll have to get lucky when you find a disguised Pokémon.

Shiny Ditto was originally made available to players through a Paid special research mission set up for Kanto Tour back in 2021, but for now just a casual get-together.
