Pokemon GO: How to Get Shiny Ditto | Game Rant
The most recent event for Pokemon GO has introduced every remaining shiny Pokemon from the Kanto region, making it the first Pokemon region to have every shiny Pokemon form in-game. Among the final additions for the region is Ditto, a pure Normal-type Pokemon.
Ditto is known in both the mainline Pokemon games and in Pokemon GO for its ability to transform into any Pokemon it encounters. This can make it hard to find Ditto in the wild due to it normally appearing as a different Pokemon entirely.
Luckily for players that have purchased either a Red Ticket or Green Ticket for the Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto event, there is a way to get a guaranteed Ditto. This Ditto is also no ordinary one, with players getting to opportunity to encounter Ditto's newly introduced shiny form.
Ticket holders are able to participate in the Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto special research tasks after the event's start. Players however aren't limited to when the event ends, so there isn't as much as a time limit compared to the event's timed research tasks.
There is a total of eight steps for the event special research tasks with different rewards for completing each step. In order to get an encounter with a shiny Ditto, players will need to reach and complete the seventh step of the tasks. The tasks in this step require players to catch 30 Pokemon, catch 15 different species of Pokemon and transfer 20 Pokemon. Alongside the shiny Ditto encounter, players will also get a lure module and a Lucky Egg for completing the seventh step.
It is very easy to tell Ditto's normal form from its shiny form with its shiny form being a pale blue compared to a normal Ditto's bright pink. Despite how coveted shiny Pokemon are, players should note that there is no advantage to having a shiny Pokemon with its stats and battle performance being unrelated to its appearance. Shiny Pokemon are simple palette swaps that certain players enjoy collecting.
Catching shiny Ditto will be very helpful for players participating in the various Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto Collection Challenges. This is due to the Research Collection Challenges requiring players to catch specific Pokemon that are offered as reward encounters during this event. One of these Pokemon is Ditto, with it not mattering if it is shiny or not for this challenge. Completing this Collection Challenge will earn players 1,510 XP, a normal Ditto encounter, and three Silver Pinap Berries.
Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS.
