Someone Found A Ditto, And What Happened Next Was Pretty Sad – Pokemon Go

Legendary Pokemon are currently unavailable in Pokemon Go, but one legendary trainer has modified the game to make one other hidden Pokemon turn up.

Ditto is a shape-shifting Pokemon, capable of copying an opponent’s Pokemon and also its move . It’s also currently the only non-legendary Pokemon unavailable in the game(including only 1st gen Pokemons) hence it joins the league of legendary Pokemons like Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo and Mew.

Why Ditto is so special is still unclear, apart of its exclusive transformation ability. But there is a way to make it turn up Ditto in the game. For those tired of waiting to hear official news from Nintendo, this is a way to get a sneak peek of you favorite shapeshifter buddy.

The legendary trainer FrozenAquaCat uploaded a video of his game and describing a bit of his tinker work in the video description. Weedle, a bug-type Pokemon, has a Pokedex number of 13. Incidentally, this coincides with his encounter ID, which is what the game client uses to tell your device which Pokemon you just discovered.

The amazing trainer might realize that Ditto’s Pokedex number, and his encounter ID, just so happens to be 132. By modifying the Pokemon Go client, FrozenAquaCat was able to add the missing 2 to the ID, causing his next encounter with a Weedle to result in Ditto taking its place. Using the programming language Python, he was able to forcibly inject his code into the game using a technique that makes it playable on PC.

Unfortunately, the game crashes if he attempts to throw a Pokeball at the Ditto, but we’re one step closer to making capturing Ditto a reality. Until then, we’ll just have to wait until someone figures out how to make Ditto appear officially .

So till someone figures it out and let you all know, lets just charge our power banks and mobiles and get our asses moving to find the rest of Pokemons….!
Until we meet next time…..Gotta catch em’ all.
