Tips To Increase Your Odds To Catch A Shiny Ditto In Pokemon GO

Ditto is a rare feature in Pokemon GO events, but whenever it is, trainers make it a priority to catch 'em all. The quest to catch Ditto is fun in itself. When you make the quest rather interesting by going after a shiny Ditto, it is indeed a rewarding experience when you finally get a shiny Ditto. However, since Ditto rarely features in the game, many trainers around the world have yet to get their hands on the beautiful, cyan Ditto shiny.

Thankfully, an opportunity has presented itself to the trainers as Ditto will be a main feature in the Pokemon GO Completely Normal event. There will be many Pokemon GO Ditto disguises during the event. Naturally, you will have a lot of chances to get your hands on the shiny Ditto. To make this shiny Ditto hunt even more rewarding for you, we will take a look at some of the best tips to increase your odds of catching a shiny Ditto.

Working Tips to Increase Your Odds to Catch A Shiny Ditto In Pokemon GO

The Pokemon GO Completely Normal event runs from 23rd September to 27th September. In addition to the introduction of Dundunsparce, one of the biggest highlights of the event is Ditto.

Among the various bonuses of the event, the trainers will have an increased chance to encounter Ditto. This makes the Ditto shiny hunt easier for you, as the better the spawn, the better your chances of catching a shiny. Moreover, the shiny rate of Ditto in Pokemon GO is 1/64, making it one of the boosted Pokemon GO Shiny Pokemon. Even then, catching a shiny Ditto in Pokemon GO requires skill and a clear understanding of the game.

Tips to Increase Your Odds to Catch A Shiny Ditto In Pokemon GO

Here are a couple of the best practices you can consider to end the Pokemon GO Completely Normal event, having more than one shiny Ditto:

• Know the Disguises: Since the last event where Ditto was a major feature, the pool of Ditto disguises in Pokemon GO has changed. As of now, Mankey, Growlithe, Magnemite, Voltorb, Sentret, Teddiursa, Seedot, Surskit, Slakoth, and Whismur are all Ditto disguises. A lot of these Pokemon will be wild spawns during the Pokemon GO Completely Normal event. So, be aware of your surroundings and make sure you catch all the Ditto disguises to increase your odds of catching a shiny Ditto.
• Fast check Pokemon: If none of the other features of the event concern you, consider only going for the Ditto disguises. That way, you will explore more and encounter more, which will eventually lead to the catch of a shiny Ditto. You will save more time and earn better efficiency in your quest to catch shiny Ditto in Pokemon GO if you fast catch the disguises with Ultra Ball and Berry while you are on the go.
• High-density Spawn Rates: Based on your city, there are various Pokemon clusters at certain places. Do a quick research on Silph Road or join Campfire to discuss the high-density Pokemon clusters nearby. Map your route accordingly to those places and enjoy more encounters with Ditto.
• Consistent Grind: One of the common knowledge among trainers when it comes to wild Pokemon with a high shiny rate is that consistent grinding ensures better chances of catching that certain Pokemon's shiny variant. To put it in simple terms, instead of having two different sessions for catching Pokemon in a day, with 30 minutes each session, consider a consistent whole hour in a day. You will have better odds of catching the shiny Ditto during that one-hour grind.
