How to Guarantee a Ditto

To guarantee a Ditto, you must understand that it’s not possible to directly catch one, as it disguises itself as other Pokémon; however, by increasing your encounter rate with its potential disguises and using tools like Pokémon GO Lure Modules or Incense, you can significantly improve your chances of catching one. The process involves catching every potential disguise, such as Diglett, Grimer, Snubbull, and others, until one reveals itself to be a Ditto upon capture.
