How to catch Ditto in Pokemon GO: Ditto stats in Pokemon GO

Ditto’s stats aren’t particularly good, but it does hold one major attribute in its favour. Its base move is ‘Transform’ (0) with its special being ‘Struggle’ (15) – this means you will be able to transform into any Pokemon you fight in gym battles! This should make gym battles a lot more interesting and allow you to try new Pokemon. However, interestingly enough, when you take it into a gym battle – it will use your Ditto’s IV % and match it to a similar CP of your opposition – see a YouTube video from WhatUpMC here. Ditto seems likea  good Pokemon to attack a gym (as long as you’ve got a good IV % – use this website to calculate it). But for defending a gym, Ditto is rather weak. Let us know in the comments below if you managed to catch Ditto, and if so how you achieved to add another Pokemon to your Pokedex! Also see: Pokémon GO buddy guide.
