How to capture Ditto [Updated]

Pokémon GO came out a few years ago, in 2016, although it seems a lie. Time passes quickly and Niantic continues to strive to dose the novelties that come to the game in such a way that they don’t pile up, but they don’t take long enough to make players lose interest in playing it.

And one of the methods so that we don’t get tired of the game is obviously the difficulty. And, as much as we all like to always win in everything, if we did it for a low difficulty, this would end up being boring. Therefore, Niantic makes some Pokémon difficult to capture.

At the time, we already told you how to choose the evolution of Eevee in Pokémon GO or how to capture Meltan , and now it is from Ditto that we will talk about. Today we are going to give you clues and tips so you know where you have to capture it, and what Pokémon you have to look for. Lets go see it!

How to capture Ditto in Pokémon GO

In case you are not very familiar with the Pokémon world, Ditto is a Pokémon that can mutate and transform into other species, so it is a very difficult piece to capture in Pokémon GO: it is always transformed. Fortunately, its rarity level has declined in recent months, so you won’t have trouble catching it if you know how to look for it.

The list of Pokémon in which a transformed Ditto has been found as of 2019 has increased, as well as that of the places where they have appeared. In this way, you have something easier to do with one of them,although we continue to set certain limits to its appearance.

Gastly: residential areas, lakes, industrial areas.
Gulpin: lakes, industrial areas.
Zigzagoon: parking lots.
Hoothoot: residential areas.
Pidgey: residential areas.
Taillow: residential areas, schools.
Gastly: residential areas, lakes, industrial areas.
Sentret: residential areas, universities.
Rattata: universities, parking lots.
Zubat: wetlands.
Mankey: gyms, sports centers, stadiums.
Yanma: forests and meadows.
Whismur: universities, parking lots.
Remoraid: ports, lakes and oceans.
Ledyba: parks, forests and nature reserves.
Venonat: grassy areas, natural areas (farms, trails) and parks.
Paras: grassy areas, natural areas (farms, trails) and parks.

Creatures as strange as Ditto usually appear in specific locations, so you can ask other neighboring players if they have been found to have more clues. Also, do not hesitate to use tools such as decoys and incense to make it easier for the Ditto to go to you and not vice versa.

As you can see, there are a few possibilities when you see a mutated Ditto in another different Pokémon. But, as you know, after all this is a game and it’s not about obsessing about the subject, but about trying when you can, and in this way one day you can have Ditto in your collection.
