caught 3 dittos!
This afternoon, before the rain returns tomorrow, I went to a park confirmed on Silph Road as an oddish nest. In addition to enough oddishes for the candies to fully power up my double-S.T.A.B. vileplume with solar beam (my current favorite pokémon), an exeggcute, a totally random jynx (you never see jynxes here; my previous jynx was hatched), and assorted ordinary catches, I happened upon 3 dittos! The release is real!
2 were disguised as ratattas; the other as a pidgey. (I strongly suspect that some zubats that got away from me were also dittos in disguise, and probably some other ratattas and pidgies that got away.) Stats do differ; they're not clones. All 3 of mine came in between 51% and 64% IVs (usually, I send anything under 82% to the professor, but not a new entry in the pokédex, obviously).
Given that ditto has catch and flee rates on par with the starters, my guess is that any relentlessly ordinary pokémon (e.g. ratatta, pidgey, zubat, ekans, krabby, paras, caterpie) that show surprising catch resistance now have a fair chance of being ditto in disguise. Or they may just be strong ordinary pokemon, and a waste of your razz berries and great balls: impossible to know! :-)
Anybody else snag a ditto yet?
