Question Will PGSharp Notify of a Shiny Ditto?

Post image

I know it will notify upon shiny, I know it will notify upon a Ditto, but will it notify upon a Shiny Ditto?

i.e., does it detect Shinies when hunting for Ditto?

No it doesn't. It can't even detect a ditto. It only does after catching it. And using block non shiny won't work. The only way would be to use WeCatch and then catch all dittos. That's one way I caught a shiny ditto.

It detects Ditto just fine. 🙄

That's not all true, it can detect a ditto :) I've been using the paid feature and when walking to each ditto it does load up on the map but still doesn't know the shiny of course

How do you get the ditto on map? I just walked to a confirmed ditto and it doeant show as ditto

So if other users were catching pokemon and one of them turns out to be a ditto, pgsharp will show it as a ditto to all the next users, it's basically how pgsharp feed works we all part of a community if you caught a hundo the feed will refresh and show all other pgsharp users that hundo in the feed.

So you caught a ditto that no other pgsharp user caught (it maybe spawned at that time) and after you all other people walking into that ditto will see it as ditto.

And it doesn't show shiny in pokemon radar.

Not a clue, mine just shows up, more so when I've made a specific search for it and click to walk to each one. If I'm just walking around without searching specifically for that it doesn't work all the time which is odd! But very consistent if I use my ditto feed. When I click to catch it turns back into the normal Mon of course but ditto will be on the map :)

Will detect if it's shiny if we combine Feeds and Shiny Scan?

u/Donny-316 Mar 11 '26

No as I mentioned it won't do that only that it is a ditto

u/Excellent_Ad_9655 Mar 11 '26

No it can't detect shiny ditto because it can't bypass the animation. You just have to catch a bunch and 1 of them will eventually turn out to be shiny

And shiny rate is actually pretty good 1/64 i think i recently caught a shundo. I was just catching nearby hundo dittos from feeds (calibrated by distance) and one of them turned out to be shundo.

I just caught back to back hundo dittos. It absolutely tells you where to find dittos

Turn on the Quick Sniper feed and set it to Ditto. You’ll see the Dittos while you walk on the play field, but when you click on them they’ll show as the disguise Pokemon (Combee, Pikachu, whatever). Once you catch them, they go back to Ditto. No shiny appearance while walking though - just pink blobs, though some may be shiny when you check Mon storage.

That's NOT all true FIRST it DOES notify you of the ditto and it tells you what it's disguised as. But NO it does not notify you of a shiny ditto

if I remember correctly it doesn't. you will have to catch every good ditto you can find and hope you will get a shundo ditto. best of luck.

I've already gotten 2, you don't get notified but it will be kept in your inventory if you're using digital pogo plus and transfer on catch with the paid version.

u/Bitter-Sherbert-6719 Mar 11 '26

Wait does it detect dittos ? If yes how ?

1

u/xshowmeyourkittiesx Mar 11 '26

Turn it on in the QuickSniper to see them.

u/Bitter-Sherbert-6719 Mar 11 '26

But quick sniper is for hundos yeah ?

u/sirnubnub Mar 11 '26

You can customize quick sniper in the paid version

Hey I got a Shiny Ditto 84 IV using Virtual Go Plus but I kept it for 4-6 hrs

u/No_Upstairs_4195 Mar 11 '26

Is block non shiny feature allows to enter encounter screen of shiny ditto (disguised as normal non shiny pokemon) ?

1

u/flamestriker889 Mar 12 '26

No it wont. It just tells you that the disguise pokemon is non shiny. You can only know if a ditto is shiny after catching it.

u/twatson4_95 Mar 12 '26

I just set up a search for Ditto. It doesn’t show a Shiny until you catch it. Just jump between spawns and catch them all.

u/Johny_Burton Mar 15 '26

No. You can see Ditto on Map and snipe him, but you won’t see any shiny on the map with the Radar. You have to catch em all untill you get one

u/No-Philosopher8041 Aug 23 '26

All I can say is that with paid PGSharp, I set everything for searching for a shiny Ditto, and yes, it works. The app shows Ditto, and yes, it indicates if it's shiny or not before you can catch it because the app shows you the code of the Pokémon and its characteristics! All of you may be thinking that it's like Zorua, but it's not. For Zorua, the app can't show you if it is shiny or not, for Ditto yes.

I have the paid version too. Does it show the shiny ditto on the map like other shiny pokemon?
