Ditto Runs Wild in Pokémon GO!

Ditto has been spotted in the wild in Pokémon GO!

Despite Pokémon GO taking the world by storm for the past four months, not every Pokémon of the original 151 has become available to catch. Well, the wait is over – we are now finally able to add Ditto to our Pokédex!

Loads of evidence including photos and videos has popped up showing trainers catching Ditto around the globe! Ditto will disguise itself as any Pokémon on the overworld; it isn’t until after the capture that a cut scene will play showing that the Pokémon you caught was a Ditto all along. In battle, much like in the main series games, Ditto will take one the appearance and moveset of the opponent while maintaining its Combat Power.

With Ditto now catchable in game, only Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo and Mew are left to be available for discovery!

  1. Alright going to bed
    Today was only the first of shitty work during the major holidays and it’s going to even worse tomorrow
    Day four of a nasty cold that’s driving me crazy and cranky
    And now Showdown is littered with annoying legends
    Fuck my life

  2. I just noticed my Rowlet’s nature. It’s Jolly. What are the odds that the female Rowlet I reset 28 times for had an awesome nature like Jolly? My odds 😀

  3. I wonder if anyone can tell me what facility I’m sharing in festival plaza?

    It’ll probably be either Ariel, Ithsme or Earthen who can say I guess. Look for “Pandora”.

    • I’m training my team for the Elite four, since I got my copy of Sun a day late…… and I’m not super confident in my power yet since two of them are just barely in there 50s and one is just now level 60.

  4. Let me just say that the exploration in these games is truly amazing! While I think they could’ve taken it a step further and done diving and soaring (maybe we’ll see it in Stars if real?) I haven’t felt this adventurous since Sinnoh. Like my brother found a small little cave entrance in Melemele meadow and I just love stuff like that. Unova had pretty good exploration too though, but I’m so glad this region is nothing like Kalos because I was afraid where they were gonna take pokemon after that.

      • He just said he found this cave while he was looking for an oricorio to put on his team and I was like, “What cave? I don’t remember finding a cave there” and then he told me it was kind of hidden so I went back right after I got fly from kiawi and was super surprised.

    • I absolutely adore how it holds up it’s bubble over it’s head with it’s legs. I’m kinda dissapointed the resemblance to a bacteriophage virus now seems purely incidental on the balance of evidence now, but hell, we got a diving bell spider line with an awesome design and that’s awesome!

  5. I personally believe that Hiker Dave Photobombs should be a meme. quick, someone take a historically sensitive picture and slap hiker dave on it!

    • I went into this expecting to dislike Lillie, hau, and gladion, expecting them to be nothing more than the next trevor/tierno/shuana, but I ended up loving all 3 of them, especially the one I thought i’d hate the most, Gladion. You’re not alone, and we most certainly are friends, bro.

      • I want to draw a bunch of fan art for these games but thanksgiving and I gotta finish them still ad beat the E4 and homework, why is this such a busy week I need to draw Lillie in her adorable pony tail with Lunaala and also Ultra Lusamine because wow

  6. i chose a female character this time because of clothing. that being said, how are the male clothing options in this game compared to x and y? also, any other guys out there who chose female trainers, or vice-versa?

  7. Oh craaap! One of the festival plaza visitors are offering me Team Red (dye house) 3 stars…

    On one hand Red is one of Sun’s exclusive colors which is lame…

    On the other hand it’s 3 stars and I’d be able to dye other shades…

  8. I’m not sure who was/was not here earlier, but while filling my pokedex, i caught “Patient-0”, a Vullaby infected with Pokerus. if any one needs it, I’m not sure how much it has spread, i can give you pokerus.

    Reply
  9. Ok I caved and bought Team Red ***. Apparently it DOESN’T have the option for pastel not that I care about that… dark is better. Also even the FC-costing part is dyeing so ya need to have already bought a white item to see the options.

  10. Loving the game so far, but God is there points where you state at your Dex and want to scream because you’re not encountering the mysterious middle mon on the route

  11. So, anyone seen the English dubs for Pokemon Sun and Moon yet? As is once again the idiot he was in season one…… Its a little sad to see the badass version go………. I hope he comes back some once things settle some.

    Reply
    • I disagree. I don’t thin he’s back to being an idiot at all he’s just acting like an actual 10 year old, which is ok since he is still 10. Plus he showed himself competent versus the grunts.

      Reply
      • Actually he’s eleven, you can’t take the island challenge unless you are eleven. It mentions that in the game, and will likely be mentioned in the anime at some point.

        Reply
        • Actually there hasn’t been any mention of him turning 11. I know you have to be 11 to do the island challenge. But as of now he is still 10. So either thre is going to be a birthday episode. Or there changing it in the anime so you can do it when you’re 10

  12. Lilligant: “As soon as it finds a male to be its partner, the beautiful flower on its head darkens, droops, and withers away” whats with all these depressing pokedex entries? i wonder if this entry is supposed to represent loss of innocence?

  16. Omfg I’m a genius
    So I’m going to chain Ditto with my newly patented Scyther strategy that enables Ditto to be useless to call for halp

    So hunting Ditto you’re bound to find useless crap
    And you find Minior, popular to collect because of the fun she’ll chance, but always risking them Blowing themselves up with Self-Destruct

    Then it hit me! DAMP, Damp stops exploding attacks, but you still need to crack it’s shell to check colors

    So looking for a Damper I learnt the PERFECT Pokemon
    Parasect!!!!!!

    If you can chain a Paras with Damp, you can level it to the high sixties and have it False Swipe, Spore and Ect

    You may bow down in glory of my cleverness

  17. So do you think a male Wigglytuff with the ability competitive and the attack set of
    Disarming Voice
    Sing


    could be a Good competitive Pokémon?

    Reply
          • It suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks
            I want to get my Shiny 6IV Ditto out of ORAS and bring Max to the Alola region ASAP
            Because having to manually and painstakingly hunt down a Ditto is very very aggravating

            Now I’m gonna have to start breeding Abras and hope I get one with Syncronize with Adamant, Modest, Impish to get other Dittos for natures.

            Thankfully this 3iv ditto is Calm and is good

  18. UGHHHHHHHHHH THIS SUCKS
    HYPER TRAINING SHOULD MAKE IVS FLAWLESS AND PASSABLE
    I hate hunting down 10% Dittos
    I hate chaining

    All the stresses of starting from scratch

  19. The anime isn’t bad. Apart from the ugly stills like the faces that they make, the voice acting is pretty great and the characters are awesome. And I’m looking at Lillie especially here. I’ve only seen one episode and she’s my favorite character of the anime.

    Reply
  20. People do you think this is a good competitive Pokémon?
    Wigglytuff
    Gender: Male
    Ability: Competitive
    Moves:
    Disarming Voice
    Echoed Voice
    Sing
    Play Rough
    Bashful nature

    Reply
    • There’s a bit of lack of focus there. It’s trying to be a physical attacker and a special attacker and support at the same time without the good coverage.

      Make it modest, put a Choice Specs on it, and make the moves all attacking special moves, and different types for coverage (Fire Blast at least) and it’ll be a good anti-Intimidate in VGC/Doubles.

      Moves: Dazzling Gleam, Fire Blast, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt (or take your pick from all the many special attacking TMs it can learn, alternatives include Shadow Ball, Grass Knot–Hyper Voice if previous gen competition)

      Sing’s accuracy is quite lacking, I’d suggest something with Spore instead for your support Pokemon. With Bank included this would normally include Amoonguss and Breloom, but I think you can count on Morelull for that one.

      Reply
      • Ok yet reason why I chose Disarming Voice is cause Competitive only works if a stat is lowered and I thought have Lycanroc keep Sand attack to lower Wigglytuff’s accuracy but cause Disarming Voice is a never miss attack so

        Yet the rest Thank you this is very helpful
