How to find and use a Ditto in Pokemon Go
One of the most talked-about pocket monsters is stealthy, but catchable. Here's what you need to know
Since the game began, people have been claiming they have caught the elusive Ditto in Pokemon Go, but it wasn't true. Players didn't gain the ability to catch Ditto until mid-November 2016.
Since then, many have found at least on one to add to their Pokedex. If you're one of the players that hasn't gotten your hands on the purple blob, here's everything you need to know.
Finding a Ditto
If you haven't seen a Ditto yet, don't worry. You won't find Ditto lurking around your neighborhood. Ditto hides disguised as other Pokemon and they aren't even uncommon.
Just go about catching Pokemon like normal. When you do catch a Ditto, the Pokeball will stop vibrating and say, "Oh?" Whatever you caught will then transform into a Ditto. Simple.
Dittos hide as Zubats, Pidgeys and Rattatas. Some players are also finding Dittos hiding as Magikarps, too, though it's rare.
