The chances of getting a 6IV Ditto are approximately 1 in 29,791, with the best opportunity to obtain one coming from six-star Tera Raid battles, which can be unlocked in the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet post-game. To increase the likelihood of catching a perfect IV Ditto, trainers can participate in six-star Ditto raids, where they can catch a Ditto with six complete IV stats or catch one with five and then use Bottle Caps and Hyper Training to boost its remaining IV stat that isn’t maxed out.
Understanding IVs and Ditto
What are IVs?
IVs, or Individual Values, are hidden stats that affect a Pokémon’s overall performance in battle. Each Pokémon has six IVs, one for each of its stats: HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. The value of each IV can range from 0 to 31, with higher values indicating better stats.
How are IVs determined?
When a Pokémon is born or caught, its IVs are randomly generated. The chance of getting 6IVs is the chance of getting 5IVs via the Destiny Knot multiplied by the chance of randoming 31 in the sixth (1/32). There is a 1/6 chance of the IV missing from one parent being the one IV that is not passed on, guaranteeing 5IVs.
