It’s April Fools, and along with this mischievous day comes another single-day event in Pokemon Go. This event will last from April 1st until midnight, and during the event, you might get a few surprises.
As part of the April Fools day event, Pokemon Go will be swarmed by Ditto. These little shape-shifting cuties will appear more frequently in the wild, disguised as other Pokemon. The only way to know for sure is to capture the Pokemon, and you’ll find out once it’s caught whether it’s a Ditto.
There will also be an increase in the number of Pokemon that will also be this year’s most frequent Ditto disguises. The list of Ditto disguises for 2022 are:
- Ekans
- Gastly
- Natu
- Surskit
- Finneon
- Dwebble
- Swirlix
- Lillipup
So make sure that you don’t miss the chance to catch any of these while exploring, as you may end up with a lovely surprise and a new Ditto for your efforts.
Along with the increase in encounters with the Pokemon mentioned above and the possibility that one of them is a Ditto, Pokemon Go also has unique Field and Special research tasks for players to complete during the event. By completing these tasks, players will get rewarded with special items, additional chances of catching a Ditto, and the rare opportunity to encounter a shiny Ditto. Pokestops will also give you limited edition Ditto stickers, and the in-game store also has special gifts.
This one-day event is also not the only thing Niantic has in store in April. It’s reminiscent of what Pokemon Go did for Valentine’s Day. There are quite a few different events lined up, including a Community Day Classic and the debut of a new pokemon, Tapu Bulu.
