Acquisition

How to obtain Ditto

1. Catch the suspected disguise and watch the result: the map appearance alone does not confirm Ditto.
2. Use a current dated announcement or in-game event information for any featured disguise pool. This guide does not assert an unverified live list.

Mechanics and cited announcements reviewed 2026-10-22. Older announcements establish a method, not current event access.

Make the catch count

A collection plan for Ditto

Keep Ditto wanted until the encounter actually reveals it. A screenshot of the disguised species is not proof that the catch was Ditto; use the post-catch result when reviewing an import.

Common Ditto questions

Why did the Pokémon I caught not become Ditto?

A possible disguise is not a guaranteed Ditto. Only the post-catch reveal confirms the encounter.

Is this a list of today's Ditto disguises?

No. The official discovery source establishes the disguise mechanic, not today's rotation. Check a dated current pool before planning around specific species.
