Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Ditto Location

Ditto likes to live in a decent chunk of the Paldea Region’s lands. Specifically, you can find Ditto in West Province (Area Two & Three).

It’s known to live near towns and cities, so be sure you’re searching in the fields and landscapes surrounding these areas for your best bet of encountering Ditto. However, Ditto is a trickster, so now that you know where to search, keep reading below to find out exactly how to discover one.

When you search these areas, you may be confused about why you can’t see Ditto anywhere. This is because Ditto has the ability Transform, which lets it disguise itself as other Pokemon throughout the overworld.

As such, you’ll need to start encounters with Pokemon you see, as some of them are likely to be Ditto in disguise! Let’s Go mode won’t work for this, so you’ll have to run into or throw your Poke Ball at each Pokemon until one reveals itself as Ditto on the first turn of battle.

For example, the Ditto below was found by the Pokemon Center in Medali (West), disguised as a Deerling.
