Ditto has always been an iconic Pokémon — originally appearing in Generation I.  Famous for having the ability to transform and replicate itself into other Pokémon, Ditto is a highly sought-after catch in the franchise's mobile game.  However, Ditto can be a very challenging Pokémon to catch. In this article, we'll teach you how to have the best chance of catching this iconic character.
