| Ditto makes its way to "Pokémon GO" || Source: Pokémon Wikia |
Players of the phenomenal mobile game
"Pokémon GO" might want to reopen and update their app now because
Pokémon Ditto has just been added in the app.
Ditto or Metamon (Japanese) is a light
purple, normal-type Pokémon. It looks like a blob, handless, but with two arms
coming out of its body. The new Pokémon is powerful because it can replicate
any physical object and can even mimic its enemies.
The release notes of the latest update
did not give away any significant information about the reveal of a new
Pokémon. The app update fixed the egg-hatching cut scene animation, and some
minor test fixes. It seems there is more to see in the GO update.
Silph Road dissected the code of
the latest Android application package or APK, and discovered that Ditto indeed
is under the radar. There are also rumors that Totodile, Chikorita, Cyndaquil,
Lugia and Ho-Oh may be included in this update.
Ditto can appear as one of the regular
Pokémon that is usually littered everywhere. Pidgey, Ratata, Zubat, Sparrow,
and Magikarp, when caught, can morph into Ditto's original purple form.
Trainers should not ignore these Pokémon because the only way to know that it
is indeed Ditto is to catch them.
Here's a video of Magikarp transforming
into Ditto.
Other news heard through the grapevine
are the existence of code values "Shiny" and "Rare" in the
backend of the 0.47.1 APK. In game development lingo, adding new codes may mean
that the developers added some new elements in the game. These elements can be
either a new Pokémon or a background filler.
This codes may hint the appearance of
"Shiny" Pokémon is on the radar soon. Shiny is a term used by the
fans in reference to the sparkling animation and sound effects seen and heard
when they catch these Pokémons.
Glaceon, Skitty, and Delcatty are
examples of Shiny Pokémon because of their rare colors.
"Pokémon GO" is still
available on Android and IOS.
