How to Find Ditto

Discover where Ditto spawns in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and learn the best tricks to spot this elusive Pokémon disguised as others.

Alright, so you're on the hunt for Ditto in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet! This little shapeshifter can be a bit tricky to find, but don't worry, I've got your back. It only shows up in a couple of specific spots, and there are some neat tricks to help you spot it in the wild.

Where to Find Ditto:

• Ditto likes to hang out in the West Providence Area Two.
• You can also find it in West Providence Area Three.

Now, here's the catch: Ditto doesn't just waltz around looking like itself. It'll be disguised as another Pokémon in the area. So, you'll need to be a bit of a detective!

How to Spot a Disguised Ditto:

There are two main ways to figure out if that Pokémon you're looking at is actually Ditto:

1. Lock On and Check the Name: When you're near a Pokémon, press the ZL button to lock onto it. If you've encountered Ditto before, its name will pop up as 'Ditto'. If it's your first time seeing it, or you just haven't identified it yet, it'll show up as '???'. This is your first clue!
2. Watch Their Behavior: Ditto isn't the best actor. It tries to mimic the Pokémon it's disguised as, but it often gets the behavior wrong. For example, if it's supposed to be a Persian and it's not purring when you get close, that's a major red flag. If you see a Pokémon acting a little *off* in one of Ditto's spawn areas, chances are high it's Ditto in disguise. Keep an eye out for weird animations or a lack of expected behavior!

So, head to those West Providence areas, keep your eyes peeled for any Pokémon acting strangely, and use that lock-on trick to confirm. Happy hunting!
