Pokemon GO: new "transformations" for Ditto, here's how to capture it

Pokemon Go players have discovered that Ditto is masking himself in other different and new species of Pokemon. Even before, the appearance of Ditto was one of the first great mysteries of Go, a kind of Pokemon missing in the game that the players didn't think could be unlocked. Players have tried hundreds of theories before Niantic confirmed that Ditto simply wasn't included in the game, until they added it at the end of 2016. Since then, Ditto has disguised himself as other common pkm, revealing his true form only. after being captured.

At this time, Ditto may appear as one of the following species:

• Bidoof
• Weedle
• Numel
• Seedot
• Skitty
• Ledyba
• Remoraid
• Hoothoot
• Paras

How the Ditto cycle works

Ditto's new disguises are intended to replace Yanma, formerly used as Pidgey or Rattata. In reality there is a reason under the new disguises: Ditto receives a new disguise every time one of his elders gets a shiny variant in the game. Niantic (rightly) assumed that the players didn't want to capture a shiny Pkm and see a Ditto appear at the end. Given that Yanma has a Shiny variant thanks to a recent Safari Zone event, Pkm Go wanted to give Ditto some new transformations, thus avoiding the frustration of the players.

The new disguises are all active now, so players looking for a Ditto must keep their eyes open on one of the Pokemon species listed above. Although not as rare as in his golden days, capturing a Ditto is still a pleasant surprise. Also remember that the game is available on Android and iOS devices.
