Ditto - How rare is he?

I know he is generally in pidgeys and other crap pokes, but exactly how rare is he relative to other pokes? Is he as rare as snorlax? As rare as pikachu? maybe as common as a poliwag?

I see reports of others who get one out of the first handful of pokes they catch. Other who have five or six. I caught about 350 crap xp pokes (pidgeys etc.) and nothing. Just wondering how rare he is generally speaking.

Tough to say since your never sure if that pokemon is ditto.

I was just at a bulb nest tonight for about an hour with a lot of active players and two dittos dropped, both in the form of rattatas, i was fortunate enough to get one of them. I haven't even seen a Snorlax in 4 months so definitely more common than that. They would definitely be way more common than a poliwag. Maybe about as common as a pikachu or slightly more rare than that.

I don't think its likely to be distributed like Poliwag: As a water type, Poliwag is much more local in distribution (near water it can be very common). Since ditto is hiding among pokemon that are found everywhere (pidgey, rattata, zubat etc.) I expect it will be pretty uniformly distributed in most biomes. I got one on my 3rd rattata of the day yesterday. A work colleague went out for 2 hours and came back without one. I'm guessing everyone who plays actively will have one within a week. But will it have the right level to be useful?

2 in 2 days. Not that rare. About 3 and a half hours total probably. Both were right next to another pidgey. I've heard the same from others.

Difficult to say, and there may be an increased spawn for the event. I caught two in one day out of a few hundred common Pokes (for comparison I had 2 Jigglypuffs and 1 Evee).

You caught "a few hundred" pokes and only one was an Eevee??? I just checked my secondary account I started Nov 7th, 2,376 pokes with 134 Eevees so about one in eighteen here

how do you know how many Eevees and pokes total have you caught? is there some hidden statistics screen somewhere?

Not exactly hidden. Tap the trainer icon and push the screen up to see the medals and stuff, there you see how many pokes you caught. To see how many of a certain species check your Pokedex entry for this species.

A few hundred is probably an exaggeration - but it was over 100 (3hrs playing yesterday split across two town centres - so fairly dense spawns). I caught one Evee. Typically in a day (normally more like 1 and half hours I'd see one Evee occasionally 2) -they're not 'rare' around here but not numerous. In a town around 30 miles away that I occasionally visit I'd see about 5 in the same time span.

I think Ditto's catch rate is the same as the starters, I assume the rareness is about the same, maybe a bit less common though.

nope. it's far more common than starters... for example... yesterday got 3 dittos... saw only 1 squirtle, 0 pikachus, 0 charmeleons and 0 bulbas... can't even compare because the starters are non-existant in the wild and as rare as snorlaxes.

They aren't as rare as snorlax. I found 1 snorlax in the wild all-time. I find the startes 5+ a day. Maybe there third stages are but not the starters. And idk if dittos are rare only because we ignore the crap pokes.

It's a great pokemon to train I guess. Very easy to raise prestige due to low CP and then very potion efficent when healing.

I caught one yesterday... Played for 15 mins. So at least during this event, it's quite common. Going out to catch more.

I caught two Dittos yesterday: the first from a Pidgey, the second from a Magikarp. Today I have caught three more: one from Pidgeys and two from Rattatas.

I have about twelve of them from the past two weeks. However, they spawn right off my porch, so I dunno. I've caught one or two at work, but there are four pokestops with lures usually going there.

I dont even know. When i try to catch for stardust/xp or try for gyrados. I got 5 dittos, 3 from magikarp and 1 from hoothoot and 1 from senat. My friend goes for all crap pokes hopping for ditto, he caught none. So either im chosen aka lucky af or he has bad luck
