by Dito is particularly difficult to find in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as it can completely disguise itself as other Pokemon in the wild.
However, there are a few Ditto locations where you can check in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. These areas have a better chance of spawning Ditto and can really save you time in the long run.

Where can I find Ditto in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?
Ditto is primarily found in the Western Province (Area Two) and Western Province (Area Three) sections of the map. The main problem here is that unlike other games, you won’t find Ditto in its default form anywhere in the wild. Instead, Ditto disguises itself as another Pokemon, and there’s no way to tell which ones.
Ditto will show up in the first round of battle, so you’ll have to look around these areas and challenge Pokémon until you find one. The tower next to Porto Marinada is the best place we’ve found to consistently find Ditto. You can see this place on the following map:
Head to this tower and challenge Pokémon. Murkrow and Grimer can definitely be Ditto in disguise, so start there. Eventually, Ditto will reveal himself. Just make sure you catch them before you accidentally knock them out.
Our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet walkthrough walks you through the entire game — including First Day of School, Victory Road, Starfall Road, and Legendary Path.

Tips for catching Ditto
A handy tip we’ve found for catching Ditto in Pokemon Scarlet and Purple is that if you haven’t seen Ditto in game yet, use the stealthed Pokemon ‘???’ like his name. For example, the first Ditto we caught was disguised as a Murkrow. Murkrow was already registered in the Pokédex, but his name still showed as “???”. That meant it had to be Ditto. This only works for Pokemon you know you’ve already registered and when you first find Ditto.
That’s all you need to know about catching Ditto in Pokemon Scarlet and Purple. For more help in Paldea we have a walkthrough including help for the Starfall Street, Victory Road and Path of Legends stories.
