Pokemon GO Ditto disguises for December 2024 will have you look for and catch quite a handful of 'mons in hopes of catching the Transform Pokemon. The list for this month includes the likes of Oddish, Numel, and Bergmite.

The Generation I Normal-type Transform Pokemon is one of the rarest non-Legendary and non-Mythical encounters in-game. It disguises itself as other Pokemon when spawning in the wild, somewhat similar to Zorua in Pokemon GO.

The only way for you to tell for sure whether you are encountering one is by catching said Pokemon, after which it will turn if it is a Ditto. Pokemon GO Ditto disguises are periodically refreshed or tweaked in-game.

You need to keep in mind that if one of the aforementioned disguises appears in its shiny form, it will not be a Shiny Ditto. The only way to secure one is repeatedly catching the normal spawns of those on the Pokemon GO Ditto disguise list and hoping for the best.

Shiny Ditto has a 1 in 64 chance of appearing. While this number means it has a higher chance of spawning compared to most other shinies, the rarity of encountering a Ditto itself complicates the matter.


Can Ditto hatch from an egg in Pokemon GO?

No, you cannot hatch Ditto from any variant of egg in Pokemon GO. The only way to snag a Ditto in Pokemon Go is by encountering one in disguise while you're out exploring.


Pokemon GO Ditto details

While there is no way to be absolutely sure whether a wild spawn is a Ditto, you can try to gauge the same by looking at the CP (Combat Power) of the Pokemon. If it is a Ditto, it will have less CP than is expected from the wild spawn of the particular Pokemon it is disguised as.

Furthermore, Ditto can transform into the first Pokemon it meets in battle when used in Gym attacking or defending. This transformation will remain the same for the entirety of the battle. While its CP and stats will remain the same, Ditto can also take up the fast and charged moves of the Pokemon it is copying. If used properly, this can provide trainers with a quick advantage.

Q3) How do you tell if a Pokemon is a Ditto in Pokemon GO?
