How to find shiny Ditto in Pokémon Go
There are a few important facts about shiny Ditto that every hunter should know. First, if you encounter a shiny Pokémon that is listed above as a possible Ditto disguise, it will not turn into Ditto if you catch it. In other words, you won’t lose the shiny; the game will keep the shiny form as that original species.
On the other hand, any Ditto you actually reveal and catch has a chance to be shiny. According to research compiled by The Silph Road, the shiny rate for Ditto appears to be about 1 in 64. For more details, see this Silph Road research.
Quick tips
Therefore, if you want a shiny Ditto: keep catching the disguise species, be patient, and hope for luck. Because shiny Ditto is only determined when Ditto is revealed, your best bet is volume — catch as many disguises as you can.
