Ditto has now been released in the latest patch, and I would like to catch one.

What are the conditions to capture a Ditto? Does it show up on the nearby tracker? Or will it transform into something?

First of all, you won't just see a Ditto on your list of close Pokémon that you can catch. Ditto will first appear in your game as just a regular Pokémon. After catching the Pokémon, it might transform back into a Ditto, and it will then be added to your Pokédex. So you won't know it's a Ditto before that point. You can see an example in the video here.

As for now, the current list of Pokemon which can hide a Ditto is pictured below. So just keep catching those, and you might end up with a Ditto.

Also note that if you get a Ditto after catching a specific Pokémon near you, anyone catching this exact same Pokémon will also get the Ditto.

    Man, I have to catch Zubat again? sigh What about evolved forms of those Pokemon? Or rare Pokemon? Can they hide a Ditto as well?

    An anecdotal note: The difficulty of catching a Ditto seems to be separate from the Pokemon it appears as. This morning I caught a CP 306 "Pidgey" which turned out to be a Ditto. The circle was green, whereas a Pidgey of that CP would have likely been yellow or orange.

    @acbabis, SpectralFlame's anecdote seems reasonable to me. Why do you think it is a bug? A Ditto's appearance is camouflaged, but its stats and capture rate are not.

    Imagine catching a Dragonite and it transforms into a Ditto

    I've just had a Hoohoot turn into a Ditto so it looks like the Gen2 commons are also a possibility.
