In , knowing the latest Ditto disguises is essential for catching the purple blob in the game. That's because the Transform Pokémon doesn't appear regularly on the map like other Pocket Monsters. Instead, it spawns as one of a rotating list of other creatures, only revealing itself as a Ditto after being captured.
Trainers face a similar situation when trying to get Zorua in . Although this has been a longstanding mechanic in Niantic's mobile game, not knowing which forms Ditto can take makes it one of the most difficult Pokédex entries to fill.
