Tips & Tricks to catch Ditto
- Use the Nearby tracker feature that shows all the ‘mon close to you;

Is There a Shiny Ditto in Pokemon Go?
Niantic has announced that there is a Shiny Ditto available in Pokemon Go. The ‘mon made its debut via the Kanto Tour celebration special event back in February 2021.
