Where to Find and Catch Ditto

In Stony Wilderness Max Raids

Ditto can be encountered at Max Raids at Den J in Stony Wilderness. This is the only way to encounter Ditto here, and when a thick beam of light is shining from Den J, Ditto will definitely be encountered.

As a Random Encounter at the Lake of Outrage

Ditto will also appear randomly in the wild at the Lake of Outrage. However, its Appearance Rate is low, so it's better to catch Dittos in Max Raids in Stony Wilderness.

Encountered in Workout Sea

If you have the Isle of Armor DLC, Ditto can be found in the wild and at certain Dens in Workout Sea.

How to Catch Ditto

Ditto / Pokerus Trading Board

Steps

Obtain a Wishing Piece Go to Den J in the Stony Wilderness and use the Wishing Piece Battle and catch the Ditto

1. Obtain a Wishing Piece

Wishing Piece

If a red light is not already shining at Den J, players will need to use a Wishing Piece to start a Max Raid and face Dynamax Pokemon there.

Wishing Pieces are available from the Watt Shop for 3000 Watts apiece, and are also available after clearing the Hall of Fame as the initial prize of the Final Tournament in Wyndon.

2. Use the Wishing Piece in the Stony Wilderness

After arriving in the Stony Wilderness, go to Den J on the map above and use a Wishing Piece. If a thick beam of light comes out, a Ditto will appear in the Max Raid Battle; if a thin beam of light comes out, a different Pokemon will appear in the Max Raid Battle.

If a thin beam of light comes out, unfortunately, you'll need to use another Wishing Piece on Den J to try for another Ditto.

3. Capture Ditto and check its stats

After defeating Ditto in the Max Raid Battle, throw a Poke Ball and catch Ditto. In Max Raid Battles, you can catch Pokemon without having to worry about knocking them out. First of all, check its Ability, Base Stats, and whether it has a Dream Ability or not, and if they don't match your expectations, you'll need to try again by using another Wishing Stone at Den J.

Dittos with a difficulty level of 5 will have at least 4 max IVs

A Ditto with a displayed difficulty level 5 will always have at least 4 max IVs. However, as 4 max IVs is the lower limit for a Ditto useful for breeding high-IV Pokemon, try to push it one step further and shoot for a Ditto with at least 5 max IVs.
