Catch in Hideaways
After obtaining the National Dex , Ditto will start appearing in hideaways in the Grand Underground. The easiest way to find Ditto's Hideaway is by going into the Grand Underground from Celestic Town.
This method is great if you just want any Ditto, but for competitive players looking to find High IV Dittos, hideaways may not be your best bet.

Use the Poke Radar on Route 218
Ditto can be also be caught at Route 218, east of Canalave City and can only be encountered by using the Poke Radar at the tall grass patch. Ditto can appear at shaking grass patches after using the item.
Take note that Ditto has a low chance of appearing, so this process may take you a few minutes to do or much longer. However, once you get a chain going, this might be the best way to get a High IV Ditto in the game.
How to Use the Poke Radar

How to Catch and Best Pokemon to Use
| Tips on How to Catch Ditto | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Lead with a Pokemon with no attacking moves |
| 2 | Start off by throwing a Quick Ball |
| 3 | Get Ditto's HP as low as possible |
| 4 | Inflict a Status Condition |
| 5 | Best Balls to use |
Lead with a Pokemon with No Attacking Moves
Ditto's only move is Transform, which not only allows it to transform into the Pokemon you are using, but it also copies the moves of that Pokemon as well. To make Ditto easier to catch, lead with a Pokemon that does not know any attacking moves, such as a Magikarp with Splash.
Once it transforms, it will not be able to attack any of your Pokemon while you attempt to catch it.
Start off by Throwing a Quick Ball
Quick Balls work the best when used at the first turn of battle. It's always worth it to just throw out a Quick Ball as soon as the encounter starts. Quick Balls may be obtained at the Pastoria City Mart, among other places.
Get the target's HP as Low as Possible
The lower the target's health is, the better chances you'll have at capturing it! Be careful not to knock it out, though!
You may also want to use a strong Pokemon like Heracross with False Swipe to guarantee that the target will be brought down to 1 HP. The TM for False Swipe can be purchased at Veilstone City Department Store (3F).
Inflict a Status Condition
Inflicting the target with a Status Condition such as Burns, Paralysis, or Sleep will increase your chances for a successful capture. We recommend using status conditions that don't deal damage to avoid knocking the target out. Reliable Pokemon that can inflict status include Roselia with Stun Spore or Bibarel with Yawn.
Best Balls to Use
In case the Quick Ball on turn 1 did not succeed, the Ultra Ball is a reliable go-to ball to use instead.
If you encounter Ditto in the Grand Underground, it's also a good idea to use Dusk Balls which work better in darker environments. If you are chaining Dittos and plan on catching multiple ones the Repeat Ball may also come in handy.

Best Nature for Ditto
Adamant or Modest Natures are Best
| List of Recommended Natures | |
|---|---|
| Adamant Attack ↑ Special Attack ↓ | Modest Special Attack ↑ Attack ↓ |
With Ditto mainly used to breed more competitive Pokemon, we recommend looking for one with an Adamant or Modest Nature. These are two of the most common natures that you may want on your Battle Ready Pokemon. When put in the Nursery, Pokemon can pass down their nature to their offspring by holding an Everstone so having a Ditto with a commonly used Nature can be very useful.
