How do you get Japan Ditto?
Getting a Japanese Ditto in Pokémon Sword and Shield is a popular topic among trainers, as it provides a unique opportunity to capture a rare Pokémon. A foreign language Ditto is commonly referred to as a Ditto captured by a trainer using a copy of Pokémon Sword and Shield that uses a different language. In this case, a player from another region or language would play the game with a Japan-based copy. This enables them to interact with Pokémon from other languages, leading to the creation of the rare Japan Ditto. Here’s how you can get your hands on a Japan Ditto:
What makes a Japan Ditto special?
Ditto is particularly valuable as it can breed with almost any other Pokémon, granting you a chance to capture a Shiny Pokémon in the process. The scarcity of Japan Dittos makes them even more alluring, and the trading process is usually driven by desire for these special Pokémon. Here are the steps you can follow to get your Japan Ditto:
How to Trade for Japan Ditto?
For a successful trade, it’s essential to have a Ditto first, which you can obtain either through evolution from a Japanese language game or by asking a friend from Japan or another region who has obtained a Ditto. Since the trade involves a rare Pokémon, there’s only a 1/512 chance of obtaining a Shiny Pokémon when breeding the Japan Ditto with another Pokémon. To perform the trade:
- Open Link Trade, which is found in your game’s options.
- Enter the correct trade code. More on this in the upcoming section.
- Ensure that both Poké Balls have the Ditto in your party when you initiate the trade.
- Link Trade successfully, and once the Pokémon are traded, you’re all set.
Finding the Right Trade Code for Japan Ditto
To avoid any confusion and facilitate the process, it’s crucial to know what code you’re searching for. Typically, there is an established tradition among traders that allows participants to know exactly what type of Pokémon each code requests. For Japan Dittos specifically, they are usually referred to with a series of hexadecimal codes:
| Trading Code | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 4448 4448 | Initial Trade and Setup |
Using these code combinations, trainers can arrange a trade successfully. Another option is to specify the exact type of Japan Ditto being traded for, as you would encounter other players sharing their preferred trading codes or specific species they are exchanging.
For example, let’s focus on Trickster Pokémon, Haunter, or even Pokeballs, like those in the Japan Ditto family. Remember to carefully consider the exchange rate with other trainers regarding the specifics of your traded Pokémon species. In particular, trainers are likely searching for any Japan Ditto that provides an increased 1-in-512 possibility of being a Shiny Pokémon due to its association with multiple species.
Please note you need to contact friends and find specific gamers within your targeted regions who hold Japan-Ditto or, more than likely, some other trainer will find or exchange in-game data sharing their traded codes or matching your specified preferences. Some may have specific exchange rates involving Ditto-versions-only or the "standard Japan Ditto set": In that situation, consult your regional and in-played games regarding your fellow gamers, traders, regional networks, friends, gamers from Japan for any required specific code trading. A "trade Ditto-Ditto" as you called it is where a regular Ditto swaps with regular Ditto then with ditto. Your regular one would change by this event to the same ditto version you now have this Japan Ditto version while trading, like you trading the same pokemon to it and vice versa. By trading it your Ditto changes and its Ditto Version also do.
We will need help with all this as only we see a "Trading Ditto" code there is which would allow our regular and Japanese Ditto to evolve in each game version together in one Pokémon game.
Trade the Pokémon with fellow gamers
Reach out to fellow Pokémon enthusiasts online or through the in-game features like Link Trading or the Surprise Trade (where a new Pokémon has a 90% or higher friendship percentage) where players from all over swap their favorite breeds, but there is this "secret code" among some breeders to the "true trade" a code given that can have either you send another species which can do that in "standardized trade". Make sure those in the Link Trade who will help by the method, a true Ditto in their Pokemon version’s code (from their native game). And for players in other game versions which can trade Pokemon in games and are usually used standardized or Ditto trade code which will assist.
A Japan-based copy of Pokémon Sword or Shield, while it increases the likelihood of encountering more Japanese Ditto, they also create some interesting exchange possibilities for enthusiasts worldwide when interacting with traders. Japan Ditto hunting can often lead to successful interactions and exchanging, so by learning more about standardization rules, you are more effective.
So, a "Japan Ditto hunter" may then change a standard or Japan-only Ditto as well because there is less standard breeding with this process, by which it changes them and makes breeding with foreign languages a possible. Remember to use some specific coding system or another code combination when linking Ditto. Also, make use of friendlier language exchanges with this type of trade; standard or coded trade which helps with communication the other Ditto’s unique breedings; like in 4448 you would code and exchange both your respective Pokémon Ditto, using that "4" that "8."
