To snag a Ditto in Pokémon GO, you first need to know its current disguises. This shape-shifting Pokémon has been a part of the game for years, its ability to mimic other creatures rivaled only by additions like Zorua. While Ditto's disguises change, we've got the latest list.

As of March 2025, Ditto disguises include Bergmite, Bidoof, Goldeen, Gothita, Koffing, Numel, Oddish, Rhyhorn, Solosis, Spinarak, and Stufful (see image above). Catching any of these Pokémon in the wild might reveal a hidden Ditto.
After catching a disguised Ditto, it transforms before the catch screen, revealing its true form. You'll know you've caught a disguised Ditto by the "Oh?" that pops up above your Poké Ball.

Even knowing its disguises, Ditto remains relatively rare. However, there's a clue: Ditto's CP (Combat Power) is usually 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. Look for lower-than-expected CP to increase your chances.

Any wild Ditto has a 1 in 64 chance of being Shiny, making it exceptionally rare. Finding a Shiny Ditto requires both luck in encountering a Ditto and extra luck for it to be Shiny.
Incense and Lure Modules can increase your chances of finding any Ditto, including a Shiny one. Even without spending PokéCoins, your Daily Adventure Incense provides a short boost.
