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.

TOP 10 OVERPOWERED POKEMON

It’s time for me to discover and learn the secrets of the pokemon realm, and what better way to do that than to explore the 10 of the most overpowered pokémon in existense, according to scientists, professors and their pokédex.

10. Magcargo

(See Pokemon Stats)

Magcargo’s body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees F. Water is vaporized on contact. If this Pokémon is caught in the rain, the raindrops instantly turn into steam, cloaking the area in a thick fog. (Sapphire)

Okay – the surface of the sun is approximately 10,000 degrees F. Which means (*adjusts tie*) MAGCARGO IS NEARLY TWICE AS HOT AS THE SUN. You know that Smashmouth song, “Might As Well Be Walkin’ On The Sun?” That’s more realistic than being anywhere near Magcargo, since this lava slug thing is literally ALMOST TWICE AS HOT AS THE FREAKIN SUN. SOL, THE CENTER OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, IS PRETTY DAMN CHILLY COMPARED TO THIS SINGLE INDIVIDUAL POKEMON.

Although, just to test it out, we should probably send the members of Smashmouth to confirm.

9. Metang

(See Pokemon Stats)
It floats midair using magnetism. Its body is so tough, even a crash with a jet plane won’t leave a scratch. (FireRed) If a jet plane won’t leave a scratch after crashing into you, that’s coming very close to saying you’re completely invincible. But what’s more disturbing about this is that the entry indicates that jet planes hitting Metang and exploding is something that isn’t uncommon. And given that magnetism is a big part of its existence, it’s probably drawing those jet planes into it just because it can. Given jet planes typically fly at speeds of over 500 mph, weigh around 400,000 lbs., and have a fuel capacity of around 50,000 gallons, Metangs walking away without so much as a scratch is pretty horrifyingly powerful. So, ya know, maybe throw out something other than a big butterfly when fighting this thing.

8. Machamp

(See Pokemon Stats)
One arm alone can move mountains. Using all four arms, this Pokémon fires off awesome punches. (Yellow)

Its four ruggedly developed arms can launch a flurry of 1,000 punches in just two seconds. (FireRed)

Machamp is a strong-looking Pokemon – he’s got the bodybuilder physique, give or take a few arms; his natural pose is as if he wandered into an Arnold Schwarzenegger workout tape; and he’s confident in a speedo (which shows strength in self-confidence maybe?). But he’s so much stronger than his swole bod would suggest – each arm can move a mountain, meaning he could move four mountains at once (if they were all located really, really close together). And wait – each arm can launch 125 punches per second, meaning he could knock away 500 mountains per second (if they kept flying at him somehow). That’s impressive. REALLY impressive. Most Pokemon can’t punch a single mountain – let alone thousands per second. What’s even more impressive is that mountains still exist at all in the Pokemon world, since this had to have been tested at some point.

7. Alakazam

(See Pokemon Stats)

Alakazam’s brain continually grows, infinitely multiplying brain cells. This amazing brain gives this Pokémon an astoundingly high IQ of 5,000. It has a thorough memory of everything that has occurred in the world. (Sapphire)

Let’s break this one down a little:

Brain continually grows: Okay, no big deal – literally everyone’s brain is constantly growing and adding new brain cells. Nothing big here.

“Infinitely multiplaying brain cells”: Uh. Okay. ‘Infinitely’ is a strong word. ‘Infinitely multiplying’ is a really strong phrase, indicating that the brain cells are damn near infinite after a cycle or two. An infinite number of brain cells woud be, well, infinite. They would take up all known space, and then some. So let’s just assume this means “a whole bunch” and someone got carried away.

“IQ of 5,000”: The highest recorded IQ ever is 228. This knocks that out of the park by around 4,800 (which is a whole bunch). And given Pokemon probably shouldn’t be able to do well on a test designed by and for humans (you may remember that Pokemon have limited speech capabilities, essentially animal-slave versions of Hodor), it’s pretty crazy to imagine he has a higher IQ than the number of years Great Britain has existed.

“has a thorough memory of everything that has occurred in the world”: …damn. If this thing wasn’t so concerned with bending spoons all the time, they would probably rise up and take over the whole damn planet.

6. Gardevoir

(See Pokemon Stats)

Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole. This Pokémon will try to protect its Trainer even at the risk of its own life. (Sapphire)

Listen, Gardevoir – we all know you mean well, that you try to protect your trainer at all costs – but creating a black hole (even a small one) is a bad move. Ya see, black holes have a near infinite density, with gravity so powerful that not even light can escape its surface. They devour matter like its nothing. Maybe you shouldn’t just be creating them two feet above the ground. Just a suggestion before you end all life on Earth.

5. Entei

(See Pokemon Stats)
Volcanoes erupt when it barks. Unable to restrain its extreme power, it races headlong around the land. (Gold)

Entei cannot speak any language other than Pokemon-ese (which, sadly, probably isn’t even understandable to fellow Pokemon, since each Pokemon can only say their respective name) – so let’s just assume any time it wants to vocalize anything, its a bark. That’s a lot of volcanoes erupting all the time – especially since its description isn’t limited to 1 volcano eruption per bark. If Entei ever hears a thunderstorm, it would probably drown the entire planet in lava. Well, at least exploding magma isn’t as hot as Macargoes.

4. Lugia

(See Pokemon Stats)
It sleeps in a deep-sea trench. If it flaps its wings, it is said to cause a 40-day storm. (Diamond)

Well, considering Lugia’s primarily way of getting around is “flying” – and the way it flies is by flapping its wings – Lugia’s causing years worth of storms pretty much every time it goes anywhere. The Pokemon world should be covered in an unceasing meteorological nightmare, all because one stupid legendary Pokemon can’t just sit still for its entire life.

3. Grimer

(See Pokemon Stats)
As it moves, it loses bits of its body from which new Grimer emerge. This worsens the stench around it. (Gold)

Grimers are infinitely self-replicating – which would be pretty nightmarishly-powerful on its own (additionally Muk, Grimer’s evolved form, vomits up Grimers) – but, for some reason, this also makes it smell worse and worse. Eventually, it should have untold numbers of asexually-produced children (who, in turn, are leaving behind their own untold number of asexually-produced children) AND an infinitely horrible stench around it.

2. Arceus

(See Pokemon Stats)
It is described in mythology as the Pokémon that shaped the universe with its 1,000 arms. (Diamond)

Hey, this Pokemon here? Of the same genetic family as a psychic mime and a sentient bag of garbage? It’s basically (literally) GOD. Also, it somehow has 1,000 arms, none of which can be seen. Maybe it got rid of them because it’s GOD and doesn’t need 1,000 arms because it apparently can get along just fine shaping the entire universe with a couple legs.

1. Ditto

(See Pokemon Stats)
It can transform into anything. When it sleeps, it changes into a stone to avoid being attacked. (Gold)

It has the ability to reconstitute its entire cellular structure to transform into whatever it sees. (Diamond)

Ditto is everything. Not only can it transform into any Pokemon – it can transform into anything it wants, organic and non-organic things alike. Any Pokemon on this list? Ditto can become them. It can become whatever kind of Pokemon theyr’e weak against. It can become – theoretically – anything that exists. The moon, the Earth, Arceus, etc.

An organized army of Dittoes could take over the planet if they wanted – so could a lot of Pokemon, I guess. But the difference is that Dittoes could do it without anyone ever noticing. It could replace your family and your friends without you realizing it. Eventually, a Ditto could replace you. They could replace us all.

Unless…they already have.

Pokemon GO Best Attackers and Defenders

Last week I submitted some preliminary analysis of the best pokemon for attack and defense in Pokemon Go (here for those interested:https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4rldov/pokemon_move_analysis/). Since then we’ve learned a fair amount more about pokemon rarity, move power, and some other game mechanics; so I’ve updated my code! Here are the results of my most recent analysis:

Best Attackers:

Best Defenders:

New to this analysis is some weighting to incorporate the fact that you’re more likely to chose a pokemon with type advantages over the defending pokemon, plus improvement in determining the best movesets based on the moves’ powers and number of bars on charge moves. I also included some weighting to increase the power of pokemon with higher CPs based on the list by/u/zehipp0(https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4se870/pokemon_cp_tier_list/).

Not yet included in the analysis is the speed of quick moves, which seems inconclusive at the moment.

If anyone wants a complete list of all 151 pokemon, I can provide it in the comments.

As a treat to those of you who have read this far, here are my lists of pokemon (including rarity, CP tier, and available moves) and moves (including power and number of charge bars):

11 Pokémon Go cheats that only expert players know about

The Pokemon Go addiction has gripped the world by its horns. Players have constantly been trying to level up by collecting various Pokemon in the game. Even the most addicted and dedicated player wouldn’t refuse to use any tips or tricks which will help them to level up quickly.

Today, we have compiled a list of eleven cheats which works on Pokemon Go. These cheats are totally safe to use unlike some others that are risky to use such as using a cheat to get unlimited Pokecoins.

Catching Pikachu at the start

Image: attackofthefanboy.com

There is a very simple way to catch Pikachu at the very beginning of the game. When you start the game for the first time, you have the option of picking from one of the three Pokemon starters: Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur. You’ll have to ignore this original trio if you want to make Pikachu your first catch.

All you would need to do is keep walking past them until they disappear from your map. However, these Pokemon will pop-up once again once you get too far away from them. So, you’ll have to ignore them continuously four times, and in the fifth try they will be accompanied by a Pikachu.

Don’t ignore them if you keep getting the same Pokemon to show up

Image: www.dailydot.com

If you keep getting the same Pokemon over and over again, keep them. You can evolve them later when you level up your trainer. Pokemon Go players level up their trainers after acquiring enough XP required for their next level. The trainers with higher levels get to catch Pokemon with higher CP and HP.

On the other hand, evolving your duplicate Pokemon is another good option. It only costs a few candy to evolve common Pokemon like Rattata, Pidgey and Weedle, which in return gives you 500 XP. They can also be transferred to Professor Willow later which will earn another bonus candy.

Use trainer level to increase the help of Lucky Eggs and Incense

You generally earn 500 XP for evolving a Pokemon. The use of Lucky Eggs doubles up the XP for a half hour, which means you’ll receive 1000 XP for every Pokemon evolved during that time frame.

It is advisable that you keep the frequently found Pokemon for evolving while using Lucky Eggs. You can also use an Incense at the same time, as the 500 XP for catching a new Pokemon will double up because of the Lucky Eggs.

Don’t use Stardust until you reach level 12 or 15

In Pokemon Go, you are rewarded with Stardust quite frequently for catching Pokemon and hatching eggs. Stardust will help you later in increasing the power level of the top-level Pokemon. The Pokemon that you catch when at low trainer levels are ignored when the level increases, so, any usage of Stardust over them will just be a waste.

Throw a curve ball

You might have already noticed the curveball bonus a couple of times. The bonus appears just after scooping up a Pokemon. You can easily earn that curveball bonus by using a simple trick.

You can tap the Pokeball at the bottom of your screen, drag it forward, and swirl it in a circular manner while you are trying to catch a Pokemon. After you start swirling it around in a circular manner, the Pokeball will start spraying sparks and it will be that moment when you will need to throw the ball towards the Pokemon. This will need some practice until to start earning curveball bonuses more frequently.

Maximise your throw bonus

You might have noticed those green, yellow, or orange circles while trying to capture a Pokemon, and you might be wondering what they are all about. These rings are actually there for you to get the perfect timing while throwing the Pokeball to obtain throw bonuses. You will get more bonuses if you hit the center of the circle and even further if the circle is smaller. This is definitely an easy way to earn some XP by mastering the art of hitting the center of the smallest circle.

Get better Pokemon from Eggs

Image: attackofthefanboy.com

Eggs can be found at PokeStops, and they have the possibility of hatching rare Pokemon. Once you collect those eggs, they can be found after swiping left of the Pokemon sub menu.

Once you tap on any of those eggs, there will be an option to incubate them. After putting them in the incubator, you’ll need to walk while the game is open on your device for the eggs to hatch as Pokemon. There are 2 km, 5 km or 10 km eggs, and each of them will give you different Pokemon. The longer you have to walk to hatch the egg, the better chances of snagging a rare Pokemon.

Don’t be too discouraged if you don’t get a great Pokemon from an egg. You still get a decent amount of Stardust and Candy with each hatched egg.

Move to places where people gather to play the game

Image: www.technobuffalo.com

If you want to catch some amazing Pokemon, you can move over to a place that is populated with Pokemon Go players. The players typically put out lures that will attract various Pokemon. Try to group with other people while playing the game and select a region where there are numerous PokeStops around to get the best results.

Explore various areas and play at night

Image: www.easyreadernews.com

Pokemon Go requires a lot of moving around. Players need to move to different regions to capture different Pokemon. So, you’ll need to be a little adventurous if you want to succeed in catching them all. Try to venture around some unexplored areas; who knows if a rare Pokemon is waiting for you there.

Another good option is to play Pokemon Go at night. A lot of Pokemon have a chance of appearing only in the evening or at night. On the other hand, some other Pokemon only appear in geographically appropriate areas.

Evolve Eevee with this Easter Egg

Image: www.youtube.com

Eevee is a Pokemon who can evolve into three different Pokemon randomly. There is also an Easter egg buried in the game which was found out by Redditor smithnigel.

Here’s how he explains Eevee’s evolution trick:

“The Eevee Brothers from the original anime were named Rainer, Pyro, Sparky and they owned a Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon respectively. If you nickname your Eevee either Rainer, Pyro or Sparky, your Eevee will evolve into that desired Eeveelution!”

However, you will need to remember that this will only work on the first Eevee you name appropriately.

Win Gym battles every time

You can easily win any gym battle against an opponent using this simple dodge and attack technique. All you have to do is notice the yellow flash of your enemy, and then dodge their forthcoming attack immediately. After dodging their attack, hit the enemy Pokemon back by tapping at your own Pokemon.

You can use this use this method over and over again to defeat any enemy. However, if you face server problems this trick won’t be of much help for you.

Fake Your GPS Location & Movement to Cheat at Pokémon GO on Android

A strange thing is happening: there are people, groups of people even, walking the streets day and night staring wide-eyed at their mobile phones and laughing like manic children. What are these people doing? Are they taking pictures? Are they participating in some new social media craze? Is their activity an omen that thezombie apocalypse is upon us?

Nope. As it turns out, they're just playing a little game called Pokémon GO.

If you browse the internet on a daily basis or have any sort of contact with other human beings, you have no doubt heard about the augmented reality game Pokémon GO, which was released just last week to everyone. From the creators of Ingress, Pokémon GO is all about catching Pokémon, and you have to actually go outside and find them.

Don't Miss: Pokémon GO Just Gamified the Non-Sedentary Lifestyle

The game uses your phone's GPS signal to relay information about Pokémon that may be in your area, and once you're close enough to a Pokémon, you will have an opportunity to capture said Pokémon.

However, if you'd rather not leave the safety of your home to catch Pokémon, we may be able to help you. Location spoofing isn't a new thing, but when used in conjunction with games like Pokémon GO, you just might have something pretty exciting.

Pokémon Go Significantly Changes the Classic Game, for Better or Worse

So today, we're going to show you how to trick Pokémon GO into thinking you're someplace that you're really not so that you can capture Pokémon that might be in a city far, far away.

Note: While the steps in this tutorial do work, it is important that you are aware of the risks involved in tricking the game. Niantic, the creators of the game, might issue you a soft ban if you attempt to spoof your location which will prevent you from logging into your account for a few hours. However, if you're rooted, there is a way to prevent them from finding out that you're spoofing locations.

Don't Miss: How to Cheat at Pokémon GO Without Getting Banned

Step 1Install a Spoofer

First, you will need to set up your Android phone to be able to alter its GPS location. There are several you can choose from, but we'll be using Fake Location Spoofer Free from Megapps Ventures. If you want to do it on an iPhone, you'd need to be jailbroken and use a similar app from Cydia.

• Install Fake Location Spoofer Free from the Google Play Store

Once the app is installed, you will need to enable "Developer options" on your phone, if you don't already have it enabled. When set up, in the "Developer options" (found in Settings), go to "Mock location app," then choose the Fake Location Spoofer that you just installed.

 

Choose Your Location

Once your phone is set up for spoofing, open the Fake Location Spoofer app. You will be presented with a map of the world; to choose a location, simply pinch and zoom on the map, and once you are satisfied with the location, double-tap on it, then hit the orange play button on the bottom-right.

When your location has been chosen, the app will put a notification in your notification tray that allows you to stop spoofing your location.

Start Cheating

As you may have guessed, once you open Pokémon GO, the game will read your current location as the spoofed location. As a result, once inside the game, you will be presented with a map of the location you are spoofing, along with all the cute and cuddly Pokémon in the area.




(1) Our default location in Los Angeles. (2) Our spoofed location in Chicago.

It is highly recommended that you do not change your location more than once every few hours or so, or else you will increase the likelihood of getting soft banned. By changing your location every few hours, you will be able to capture Pokémon without ever having to leave your home.

Other Ways to Cheat at Pokémon Go

If you're worried about a temporary ban or just want other ways to play in a lazy fashion, you can "spoof" distance goals (to hatch eggs, for example) using a few different techniques, courtesy of Rusty Cage.

It should go without saying, but there are definitely risks involved by tying you phone to a ceiling fan or placing it in your bike's spokes, but hey, gotta catch 'em all, right?
