The Transform Pokémon Ditto is an invaluable resource to Pokémon breeding! So, where is Ditto and what’s the best way to get a Ditto with high IVs or a variety of natures?
In The Wild
After you’ve obtained your 8th badge, you will be strong enough to capture Ditto in the Wild Area. You’ll find it roaming the Over World at Lake Outrage 10% of the time in all weather. You’ll also find it as a surprise encounter in the grass during Normal Weather 2% of the time.
If you need Ditto specifically for a nature, it might be best to search here with a Synchronize Pokémon.
In Max Raids
North of the Nursery in the Wild Area, you’ll find an area called the Stony Wilderness. The Stony Wilderness has mountains lining its Eastern border. If you travel into the area and hug the Eastern wall, you’ll find a small patch of grass with a den behind it. This out-of-the-way den has a secret. The Rare Dens have a 100% chance of having a Ditto. Furthermore, all Raid based Pokémon have a chance at max IVs. Making it perfect for breeding!
When you encounter Ditto, consider setting a friend code by pressing “+” and keeping it exclusive to your friends. Or! Recruit help from the community and leave it open. Whatever you decide, before you dive in, there are two critical components you’ll want to consider.
Repeat Balls
Remember that higher star values also mean the Pokémon will be harder to capture. Before you lob another Ultra Ball at Ditto, consider a Repeat Ball.
Ultra Balls increase your catch chance by x 2. However, if the Pokémon is already in your Pokédex, the Repeat Ball increases your chances of capturing by x 3.5. That increase is almost double! You can buy Repeat Balls for 1,000$ in Wyndon’s central Pokémon Center!
Ditto Transforms
Before you select your favorite Pokémon with great coverage moves, consider that Ditto can transform into any of its four opposing Pokémon, given that they are able to dynamax.
Pokémon who cannot dynamax are the legendary Pokémon Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus. Therefore, if you bring these three Pokémon to Ditto raids, Ditto will already be Dynamaxed and will not be able to assume their form–as they cannot Dynamax. If all four trainers bring legendary Pokémon, Ditto will fail to transform endlessly. Go ahead and chip away at its HP in an easy encounter.
Shout out to our friends Paul (IG @puccello27), JT (IG @jayt491), and Nick Schwerdtfeger for the ground-breaking field research using legendary Pokémon against Ditto!
Woop! Aurora now has her Water Badge and is in the mine. Her team is
Raboot
Dubwool
Toxel (it’s Jolly nature so it will evolve into Amped form)
Drednaw (only to face off with Kabu)
Shellos (leveling up to face off with Kabu)
Galarian Meowth (almost evolved into Perrserker)
Once I get outta this mine I’ll have my Impidimp and will swap G. Meowth, which will have evolved by then.
Dumb thing I made while at work.

So, what’s everyone’s trainer cards look like now? And what are your current teams?
Ok so I’m gonna make a second account cause I really wanna play again
I’ll pick Scorbunny for this next one and save Grookey for Shield
Whenever I decide to take a break from breeding and ditto hunting I’m gonna take a Adamant Scorbunny, slip an Everstone on it and just go into the early routes and work my way up
Just want to say I’ll be starting sword soon. I haven’t forgotten about the poll I did and will still be picking Grookey. Just haven’t started yet since I’m on a vacation in Florida right now. It’s why I’ve not been on much this week.
Ok I might be stupid but how do I make a second Nintendo account?
Nvm I found it
Christmas movies make no damn sense.
Adults never believe in Santa Claus.
Santa Claus is real after all.
WHERE DID ALL THE PRESENTS COME FROM ALL THESE YEARS THEN?!?
Heads up all!! This Saturday I will be posting a link to Saturday AM for the art contest I’ve joined (when I was very tired at night). If you all have the time, please VOTE for my piece for the Round 1 prompt – Dynamic Duo! Again it will be this SATURDAY (at least that’s what the email says lol). THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT!!!
My first OU victory
I’m trying to keep it Galar regional only

It’s time to challenge Kabu!
Axew lv.29
Goomy lv.28
Jangmo-O lv.28
This playthrough is pretty rough so far; my pokemon just arent learning many attacks. Battles take forever because if I’m not using dragon breath/claw, I’m using a non-Stab 40 base power move.
Hey Earthen are you doing a Snownanitan raid rn? Found a guy called Ian online with that name
Oh my lord that was probably the most intense gym battle I’ve ever had. I managed to barely squeeze out a victory against Kabu!
I found gigantamax hatrene! Who’s in??
I will, I’ll send my code on Discord.
i need 9 more to complete the dex, can someone please help me out because most of them are shield exclusives.
Ugh what I wouldn’t give for a 6IV ditto
I have a strange newfound love for Rotom. I know it causes a lot of people ire, but it’s so cute in the overworld zipping around
I’ve been trying so hard to find HA mareanie/toxapex. Does anyone found one?
Got an awful haircut and my self confidence is shot in the foot
Take solace that no matter what it’ll be better than me. Anyway, it’ll grow back.
I failed a G-Kingler catch and now I want to cry
My Champions team will never be completed
I’m not planning on doing this immediately by any means, but would anyone be willing to help me trade some Porygons back and forth in Ultra Sun / Moon so I can get Porygon2 and Porygon-Z? Also an Alolan Golem while we’re at it? I’m going to start going down my list from 1-807 and I’m pretty darn sure these are the last trade evolutions I don’t already have.
Clash Avenue Comic update: If you haven’t read it, or don’t care to (lol), here are the first 5 pages: https://gikie.artstation.com/projects/zAYD8d
I will post updates every 5 pages! Thank you all for the support! It’s MUCH appreciated!

Not a cute look for the pokemon company
Well they’re boned
Eh, kotaku…
What’s the gist of this?
Yo so I linked the wrong survey for fossils. Here it is

Done!
Come on Aurorus, you beautiful majestic beast, you can win it!
Out of curiosity, if I was to assemble PJDex Gym Leaders (it wouldn’t be an actual fighting thing, it’d be an extension of this project using the Dex that was made by me with input by others, this time more focuses on peer participation), who’d be interested?
Would you mind possibly being a lower ranking gym leader? How set are you on your type? Any concerns?
I don’t mind be low leveled as long as I’m Water type
My typing is pretty solid but you can add any aquatic Pokemon onto it
it’s taken this long to get a Grookey from a ST
