I wish I’d taken a picture… I saw a ditto just chillin’ totally undisguised, so I caught it. You know how with a disguised ditto, it does the whole “Oh, what’s this? It was actually a ditto!” thing? Well after I caught this undisguised ditto, it did that and turned into a Zorua instead!
I tried briefly googling this phenomenon and found a single mention of somebody seeing an untransformed ditto in the wild, but they didn’t catch it, and nobody in the comments had an explanation. What in the world just happened?
Was Ditto your buddy?
Yeah, but not out at the time, and I caught this one. Is there some mechanic where you encounter whatever Pokemon is set as your buddy?
Yes, that’s how Zorua works. It disguises as whatever is set as your buddy.
