New code can be found in Pokemon GO following the game’s latest update. According to a recent investigation, there is added code implying that Ditto is coming “very soon.” Code showing the following has now appeared, as discovered by The Silph Road:
- Ditto appears to be able to be ‘encounterable’ in the wild. It is not clear whether this is enabled yet, or whether it will appear as Ditto before capture, but the species is almost certainly ‘capturable’ (as opposed to acquirable only through non-wild-encounter)
- Ditto appears to be able to be used in battle
- Sounds for different Ditto effects have appeared (not included, so as not to spoil the effect!)
- A background graphic for Ditto has appeared (dark purple)
- A small ‘spotlight’ graphic has appeared for ditto that may indicate a different appearance either on the map, or elsewhere
- It is possible that Ditto is now in the game. We are unable to confirm either way, but this update appears to have given the client everything it needs to handle Ditto interactions. Keep it together, travelers.
