If you’ve been trying to complete the Field Research Challenges in Pokemon GO, you might have had a difficult time getting past the Ditto quest. Even though getting to complete this challenge is fairly easy, finding the squeesy thing isn’t such an easy task. Here’s everything you need to know about Ditto and how to find it in Pokemon GO.
Strolling around the city looking for Pokemon might not do the trick for this one. Ditto is disquised as various different species, making it hard to pin-point its location and existence in general. Here are the confirmed encounters in Pokemon GO that might indeed be Ditto:
- Pidgey
- Rattata
- Magikarp
- Mankey
- Zubat
- Hoothoot
- Sentret
- Yanma
- Zigzagoon
- Taillow
- Gulpin
- Whismur
- Remoraid
Apart from catching the most wanted Ditto, all those Pokemon are common in Pokemon GO so you should strike a good amount of experiense points while searching for it.
One thing that should be noted too is the fact that Ditto isn’t as easy to catch as the Pokemon itself. This is also a way to finding out that the one Rattata or Pidgey you’re encountering is actually a Ditto. Make sure to have a lot of Pokeballs and start getting in action.
Is Ditto any useful though? Even though its rarity is unknown it has an impressive ability to use in gym battles. As this Pokemon has the ability to transform to any other species, it actually mimics the CP and abilities of the Pokemon it is up against with.
This is pretty much everything you need to know about Ditto in Pokemon GO. We hope that this might help you even the slightest in encountering one and getting a chance to finish your Field Research challenges. Don’t forget that you get rewarded with a sweet Mew to add to your collection.
