How to recognize a Metamorph Shiny?
Available in a chromatic version from the Kanto circuit of Pokémon Go, on February 20, 2021, Ditto can be recognized by its sky blue color instead of pink, with small stars that appear near its name. The Shiny in the Wild version has been available since September 1, 2021. There are, however, details that can help recognize a Ditto Pokémon:
- If the Pokémon does not appear in its chromatic form, its Ditto may or may not be chromatic.
- On the other hand, if the Pokémon is already in a chromatic version, the Ditto cannot have taken its form and is an ordinary Pokémon.
- Clearly, Ditto cannot be chromatic if the Pokémon it can take on is already chromatic when captured. However, there is a chance that the Pokémon's normal appearance may hide Shiny Ditto upon capture. Provided, of course, that the Pokémon is one of Ditto's possible disguises.
These are just a few of the techniques you can use to effectively catch Metamorph Shiny in Pokemon Go.
