Okay so it’s 8 months after successfully doing this and breeding my first Shinies in Gen 2 games. I’ve JUST now realized that if you take your shiny ditto from the daycare in your G/S/C games and use it to encounter any wild random Ditto. If that wild ditto uses transform twice on your shiny ditto you will effectively be able to turn every single wild ditto into a shiny legit ditto… 😂

[@firstworldproblems6064]

Ahh. That’s why my classmate in 2000 said shiney dittos are worthless… possibly actually worse than the red gyrados

[@lutyanoalves444]

:/

[@pyoheliobros5773]

If you trade the Gyarados back to GS after teaching it Mimic, you can let the Gyarados forget every other move than Mimic in Blackthorn City. That makes it easier because the Ditto always uses Transform again because it becomes the only attack of the Gyarados.

[@brianpeterson7028]

That's true but then you'd need to use a different Pokemon to lower the Ditto's health, because this will also deprive Gyarados of any attack moves

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

@@brianpeterson7028 Yep, which is bad because then ditto will transform and possibly mess things up

[@elliotlevy8610]

@@thelegacyofgaming2928 From what I understand of the glitch, the ditto transforming into a different pokemon after becoming the shiny one shouldn't mess anything up. What matters is whether the next to last transformation was shiny, so the final transformation can be anything.

Glitch Guide Gabe next level inception

[@pelnapkins4379]

Some years ago I used the Ditto method and hatched a shiny Charmander within the first 5 eggs. It then took me another 200 eggs or so to get another shiny lol

[@primalgiratina8818]

It is also possible to do this Ditto DV exploit with just Pokémon Crystal but it is more luck-based, basically you need to hatch a Shiny Cleffa from the Odd Egg that you only receive in Crystal, evolve the Cleffa and make the Shiny Clefairy learn Metronome, then find a wild Ditto and make it Transform into the Shiny Clefairy and hope it uses Metronome and it picks Transform as the chosen move, it will then copy the DVs when transforms again. It is harder, but is a method that you can do if you don't have access to the gen 1 games.

[@Last_online]

You can do it without a shiny pokemon if you breed a togepi or clefairy that has the shiny gene but it’s even harder lol

[@aikou2886]

Wouldn't Smeargle work as well?

[@Max-gc2yz]

Bro ur a goat I just got my shiny ditto this way

​@@aikou2886I think Sketch fails to copy Transform in generation 2. If that weren't the case though, you could create a shiny Smeargle through chain breeding that can learn transform.

[@PIMPNITE]

Awesome!

[@wally4golly]

Just a little heads up, you don't need a shiny ditto just a ditto with 10 def and special of 2 or 10 (Shiny ditto has 10 def and 10 special). What I did was left gyarados in the daycare and just caught dittos until I found one that couldn't breed with gyrados. A little tip for those with one ds and/or a foreign gold/silver.

[@elliotlevy8610]

I've started thinking of pokemon like those as pseudo shiny.

[@c7colours625]

Oh sweet. I can't wait to try this out! Thanks!

[@adapple7518]

The ditto doesn’t have actually to be shiny, it only needs to have a defense DV of 10 and a special DV of either 2 or 10. Breeding passes down the ditto’s defense and either the ditto’s special stat, or +/- 8.

[@Speknoz]

Delete the three damaging moves off the Gyarados in Gen 2 before trading to Gen 1 to make the double transform smoother.

[@natashabran413]

Speknoz yeah, there's no need to worry about damaging the ditto with dragon rage since you can clone master balls in red/blue

[@SerFondue]

Excellent idea

[@TacoFilmsProductions]

[@cianthompson966]

@@AmodeusR dude, I consistently got shinies within first 6 eggs, it’s a 1/64 chance. Although, I got literally 200 eggs for a Shiny Porygon which was tough, it’s so worth it.

i think he already made a guide for that. i know its not for gen 2 so some things may be different but i don't think the actual breeding ivs part has changed much between generations.

[@vegavisions97]

An easier way to get a shiny ditto is a version of the coin case glitch that will turn the first Pokémon in your party into a shiny. There’s a poke tips video that explains how to do it.

[@hitmonchan52]

You can't do it on crystal

[@John-lb4ex]

When breeding with the shiny ditto, does the offspring Shuckle HAVE to be shiny to pass the DVs to another Shuckle with an egg move or can it be any non shiny offspring Shuckle from the shiny ditto?

[@rowditess]

This was very helpful thanks!!

[@Lerkenfeldt_Frost]

Would it be possibly to perform the same trick with one's own ditto, in the encounter with the shiny Gyarados in gold/silver? Simply use transform twice on the wild Gyarados, and make the ditto shiny, or does it have to be a wild Ditto and the other way round? Great video!

[@swampy725]

The wild one dase not have mimk

[@389OpiE]

You would not have any way to use transform twice After the fist your moves will become the gyarados moves

Ruins of alph bgm 👍#6000 Pokémon red version, route 23 has ditto above level 30 with a %30 encounter rate.😉 Also this glitch can be performed with any gen 1 shiny, not just gyarados, so if you’re lucky enough to catch a shiny one, you can get your shiny ditto as soon as you reach ecruteak city. Gyarados is featured more often because it’s a guaranteed gen 1 shiny.

[@terraSpark902]

Pimpnite! I have a burning question! I haven't been able to find an answer to this anywhere but imagine this: instead of using a shiny pokemon what if you used a pokemon with Perfect DVs and instead of catching the ditto, what if you switched in a second pokemon that knows mimic, learned transform yet again, used it twice, and ended the battle. Is it possible that using a method like that can enable you to spread perfect DVs from one pokemon to the rest of your team?

[@turbochubz]

I literally got so lucky with my shiny. I caught the Red Gyarados but later on in the game surfing, I found a gold Magikarp. So I’m just gonna teach the Magikarp Mimic when I can find someone with another 3DS with these VC games and the Ditto will transform only knowing Mimic and Splash 🤑🤑🤑🤑
