For Trainers eager to discover where to catch Ditto in Pokemon Go, just know you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for some other beloved pocket monsters in the wild.

How To Get Ditto
It’s not simple to catch Ditto because it doesn’t have a big spawn rate in Pokemon Go. If you want to catch one, your best bet is to visit areas where the Pokemon in the table above frequently spawn. Use your Lure Modules and Incense, and try to search for one when the weather is cloudy. Ditto is more likely to appear in this type of weather.
It comes down to sheer luck. You’ll never know when one of the above Pokemon will transform into Ditto until after you catch it. Just know that if you encounter a shiny variant, it will never be the trickster blob.
With that said: happy hunting. Hopefully, your Ditto will reveal itself sooner rather than later.
Pokemon Go is available on iOS and Android.
