Pokémon GO October events are here. Players are wondering how to get Ditto in Pokémon GO in October 2023. In October, Pokémon, the developers of Pokémon, released some exciting events like the Out to Play timed research event and the Ticket of Trets event. Apart from that, the developers have also recently released the Ultra League of Pokémon GO. This guide will examine how to obtain this problematic and hard-to-catch Pokémon everyone is talking about.
Getting Ditto in Pokémon Go October 2023
Ditto is an elusive type of Pokémon in Pokémon GO. This Pokémon was added to the game in 2016, but it still manages to evade the trainers using its clever disguises. Ditto changes its covers from time to time as different from other Pokémon, making it hard for the trainers to catch the Pokémon. Here are the common disguises of Ditto in Pokémon GO,
- Diglett
- Grimer
- Snubbull
- Corpish
- Star;y
- Roggenrola
- Tympole
- Litleo
Ditto will not appear in the Overworld map, but its disguises will. Looking at the potential disguises of the Ditto and catching every one of them is the only way to get Ditto in the game. Once you encounter a disguised Pokémon upon tapping on it, if you see a Ditto, that is the way to confirm that it is a Ditto.
During certain timed events, the spawning of Ditto in the map will increase so the players have more chance of catching a Ditto. The only way to acquire a Ditto is through encountering and catching them in the wild. They cannot be hatched from an egg.

How to Catch a Shiny Ditto in Pokémon Go
There is a shiny version of the Pokémon Ditto available in the game. The Shiny Ditto will appear in blue instead of purple color. This Pokémon is also unavailable to hatch by any means, and trainers must also catch this in the wild. Shiny Ditto was made available to players by the particular APID research task set for the Kanto Tour back in 2021, but now it can be encountered in the wild.
Players must be fortunate to encounter a shiny Ditto in the wild in Pokémon GO. It will disguise itself as one of the Pokémon, as mentioned above. It will never disguise itself as another shiny type of Pokémon.
