Why Catching Ditto in Pokémon Go Is So Hard
Pokémon Go players are once again trying to catch Ditto. This tricky task stops many from making progress in an old quest. The quest, A Mythical Discovery from 2018, is crucial for catching Mew. To succeed, players must complete three steps in the quest’s fifth stage, including catching Ditto. It sounds easy, but it’s not. Ditto hides by looking like other Pokémon. You won’t know it’s Ditto until after you catch the Pokémon it looks like.
The Challenge of Finding Ditto
Finding Ditto has always been a struggle. This is especially true for special research tasks. Some players take years to find one. Ditto is hard to catch unless there’s a special event that makes them appear more often. These events are rare, so many are stuck on this task.
One frustrated player posted on Reddit, “This damned challenge. I can’t find any Dittos. Help me.” Despite knowing Ditto’s disguises, they struggle. Another player shared a similar story. They caught a Ditto once before getting the task but couldn’t find another after.
Not Just Ditto: Other Hard-to-Catch Pokémon
The Ditto task also made players talk about other tough tasks. Some involve catching other hard-to-find Pokémon like Cubone, Gulpin, Kecleon, and Slugma.
How to Make Catching Ditto a Bit Easier
Ditto is tough, but there’s a way to make it a bit easier. Stay updated on which Pokémon Ditto pretends to be each month. Currently, Ditto can look like Corphish, Diglett, Grimer, Litleo, Roggenrola, Snubbull, Starly, and Tympole. These disguises change, so keep looking for updates.
Catching Ditto is a big part of enjoying Pokémon Go. It’s hard, but knowing its disguises helps. Stay patient and keep trying, and you’ll catch that tricky Ditto eventually.
