How to catch Ditto in Pokémon Go explained: August 2024 disguises
How to catch a Ditto.
Catching 'mon's in Pokémon Go is a fairly simple affair most of the time though the same can't be said for Ditto, but we've got his disguises for August 2024 explained to help you nab one for yourself!
Ditto's take on the form of other Pokémon making them rather elusive.
Fortunately, we know which Pokémon they masquerade as to help improve your chances of catching one, not that it's an absolute guarantee you'll come across one!
If your feet get sore walking everywhere trying to find one, you could give them the comfort they deserve by donning a pair of Pokémon Crocs should you be so daring in the fashion department.
We just hope we can get a Ditto Pokémon Soda Pop plushie at some point, though maybe we can pretend one of them is a Ditto in disguise...

And if you are holding out for hope that the Pokémon Le Creuset set will come to the UK – then ditto!
But as we speak, Ditto is out there mocking us so let's get to it!
Pokémon Go Ditto explained: August 2024 disguises
The Pokémon Go Ditto disguises in August 2024 are as follows:
- Bidoof
- Oddish
- Koffing
- Bergmite
- Rhyhorn
- Goldeen
- Numel
- Spinarak
- Gothita

Catch any one of the Pokémon in the list above and there’s a chance that it will actually be a Ditto in disguise.
Unfortunately, we’re not sure what the chances are of any Pokémon being a Ditto in disguise. This is something Niantic and The Pokémon Company have kept under wraps.
How to catch a Ditto in Pokémon Go
To catch a Ditto in Pokémon Go, you need to catch a Pokémon from the list of Ditto Pokémon disguises. The list of Pokémon that can be a Ditto in disguise changes from time to time.
Check out the section above to see what Pokémon are currently able to be a Ditto in disguise.
Essentially, once you know the Ditto disguises list, you should try to catch as many of the Pokémon in that list as possible.
Do this long enough and you’re sure to eventually find that one of them transforms back into its true Ditto form.

It’s worth remembering that if one of the Pokémon in the list is a Shiny, it cannot be a Ditto – catch it anyway, though, because who doesn’t like Shinies?
Just like any other Pokémon, a Ditto has a small chance of being a Shiny, too. If it’s blue, it’s a Shiny. As far as anyone is aware, there’s no way to increase your chances of finding a Shiny Ditto (or a regular Ditto, for that matter).
Two years in a row now, though, Niantic has made Ditto more plentiful during events – the 2022 April Fools' event and 2023 Let’s Go event.
Fingers crossed more of these events take place soon.
