Is Ditto Good in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Playthrough?
Ditto copies whatever it faces, which sounds fun but rarely works in the story. The original usually wins the mirror. More of a novelty than a team member.

2 MethodsThe best route is Catch Combo at full boosts, about 1 in 274 on each try. Tune it below.
Catch Combo: Catch one species back-to-back. A Lure stacks on top of a 31-plus combo.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 29 |
| 25%one in four | 79 |
| 50%coin flip | 190 |
| 90%very likely | 630 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

How to Evolve
Let's Go Ditto Best Moveset
48 in every stat with no ability. In standard play, AbilityImposter instantly copied the opposing Pokemon the moment Ditto entered the field. Without it, the moveset requires spending a turn on MoveTransform manually while the opponent attacks freely. The concept falls apart when the instant transformation is gone.
Best Build
Lonely raises Attack and lowers Defense. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Red, then Yellow. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.
Candy for Ditto
Ditto Candy
Health Candy
Health Candy L
Health Candy XL
Ditto Candy raises every stat, but only Ditto can eat it. The stat candy that goes with Ditto is Health Candy (HP), and any Pokemon can eat it; Health Candy L needs level 30 and Health Candy XL needs level 60 or higher.
Moves List
Ditto's options are limited here. You've got Normal STAB for STAB damage, but there isn't much beyond Normal hitting power. TMs help fill gaps, though the kit stays tight.
