How to Tell if a Pokemon is Ditto in Pokemon GO
Sadly, there aren’t any telling signs that a Pokemon is a Ditto before you catch it. The only way to find out if the wild Pokemon you found is really a Ditto is to catch it. The Pokemon will then transform itself back into a Ditto before going into your Pokemon storage. The only sign that might indicate a Pokemon is a Ditto is when a common Pokemon is surprisingly difficult to catch. Dittos have a lower catch rate than the Pokemon it disguises itself into. This isn’t a sure way of telling if a Pokemon is a Ditto or not but can help encourage those who are about to give up.
