April Fools’ 2-Oh?-22 runs until midnight, with loads of Ditto-related quests and extras in tow.

As makers Niantic explain: “Professor Willow has some new Special Research for Trainers to help out with.

“At least…we think he does. Is that actually Professor Willow?

“Are you actually one of his trusted Trainers? We can’t tell what is and isn’t Ditto anymore.”

EEVEE-LUTION

How to evolve Eevee in Pokémon GO

Ditto is known for being pretty elusive because of its unique ability to disguise itself as other creatures.

In fact, it’s only real move is Transform, allowing it to copy the form and abilities of whoever it opposes.

It’s a lot harder to catch Ditto in Pokemon Go because it always battles in its disguise.

So you only really find one by chance once you’ve caught the creature in its fake form and it decides to reveal itself after.


How to catch Ditto in Pokemon Go

Well, in this latest event, now is your best chance to catch a Ditto, as there will be more of them scattered about and we know exactly which creatures its hiding as.

They are: Ekans, Gastly, Natu, Surskit, Finneon, Lillipup, Dwebble, and Swirlix.

Between 5pm and 8pm local time, you can expect boosted spawns which will come in handy.

And if you’re lucky, there’s also a shiny Ditto to catch as well.
