To snag a Ditto in Pokémon GO, you'll need to know its current disguises. This shape-shifting Pokémon has been a part of the game for a while, and its ability to transform into other creatures makes it a fun, albeit challenging, catch. Similar Pokémon like Zorua add to the game's disguise-and-catch dynamic.
While Ditto's disguises change, we've got the latest list for you.
Pokémon GO Ditto Disguises (March 2025)
As of March 2025, Ditto can disguise itself as Bergmite, Bidoof, Goldeen, Gothita, Koffing, Numel, Oddish, Rhyhorn, Solosis, Spinarak, and Stufful (see image above). If you encounter and catch any of these Pokémon in the wild, there's a chance it's a disguised Ditto.
After catching a disguised Ditto, it will reveal its true form before the catch screen appears. You'll know you've caught a disguised Ditto when you see an "Oh?" pop up above your Poké Ball. The caught Pokémon will then transform into Ditto—congratulations!

How Rare Is Ditto in Pokémon GO?
Even knowing its disguises, Ditto remains relatively rare. However, there's a clue: Ditto's CP (Combat Power) is typically lower than the Pokémon it's disguised as. For example, at Trainer Level 50, Ditto's max CP is around 940, while Goldeen's is approximately 1302. Looking for lower CP Pokémon increases your chances of finding a disguised Ditto.

How Rare Is a Shiny Ditto in Pokémon GO?
Any wild Ditto has a 1 in 64 chance of being Shiny, making it exceptionally rare. Finding a Shiny Ditto requires both luck and persistence. To slightly improve your odds, use Incense and Lure Modules to increase spawns, hoping some will be Ditto. Even without spending PokéCoins, your Daily Adventure Incense provides a short boost to your chances.
