How to find Metamorph on Pokémon Go?
Let’s put it like it is: there is no one-size-fits-all way to quickly and easily capture this charming little Pokemon. You will need a little luck anyway, but above all to arm yourself with patience.
Indeed, there is only one way to find a Metamorph in the wild: you have to know which Pokémon it can disguise itself as, then catch these creatures as soon as you come across one.
With each capture, you will then have a small chance to have a nice surprise. Instead of the usual “I got you!” Message, you will see “Oh?” Appear. You will then find that you have just obtained a Ditto!

The only method to catch Ditto is to capture each Pokémon from the list above as soon as you come across one. To help you, we are going to share some tips with you to increase your chances of finding a Metamorph:
- The use of Incense can be used to increase onset rates. During its activation, walk and catch all Pokémon from the list above. We recommend that youwait for a special event which increases Incense from 60 minutes to three hours for maximum effect.
- Be sure that the Exploration Monitoring function: Nearby be activated in the game settings. It sends you a notification when a Pokémon that you do not have is near you. If one of the Pokémon on the list appears, head to its location on the map.
- Once a day, start a Leurre in a PokéStop. Look for one of the Pokémon on the list and catch them all to increase your chances of getting Ditto.
- Join a Pokémon Go group on platforms like Facebook or Discord. Players often share when a Metamorph has been spotted. Mutual aid is often the key to success.
Is Metamorph available in Eggs on Pokémon Go?
Unfortunately, the answer is clear: No ! The players cannot get Metamorph with an egg in Pokémon Go. The only way to find it is to catch one in disguise in the wild.
Does Shiny Metamorph exist on Pokémon Go?
Already that Metamorph in purple is difficult to find, imagine when it is in blue in its Chromatic form…
This time, the answer is rather mixed because Metamoprh Shiny is available in Pokémon Go since the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event in February 2021. The problem is, to get it, you had to complete a Special Study that was only available during the Kanto Tour.
Ditto Shiny was once again available as a reward during the September Study Phase. The quests are now complete, however, its chromatic version can be encountered in the wild if the Pokémon in disguise is not.
Each month, Metamorph has the opportunity to change Pokémon form. He will undoubtedly remain one of the most difficult creatures to capture for a long time to come.
