Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto - How to Get Shiny Ditto

Pokemon Go players will need to complete an eight-part Special Research quest if they want to catch a Shiny Ditto. Pokemon Go is hosting its Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto event today, which provides players with a chance to capture Shiny versions of all 151 original Pokemon. Several of these Shiny Pokemon have never appeared in Pokemon Go before today, including the Shiny variant of Ditto. Shiny Ditto is a "featured" Pokemon during the event that every player encounters when they complete the event's eight-part Special Research quest. The quest is similar to other Special Research and features a mix of catching Pokemon, taking snapshots, and completing other basic tasks.
