You need to keep in mind that if one of the aforementioned disguises appears in its shiny form (like Shiny Starly), it will not be a Shiny Ditto. The only way to secure one is repeatedly catching the normal spawns of those on the Pokemon GO Ditto disguise list and hoping for the best.

Shiny Ditto has a 1 in 64 chance of appearing. While this number means it has a higher chance of spawning compared to most other shinies, the rarity of encountering a Ditto itself complicates the matter.

Can Ditto hatch from an egg in Pokemon GO?

No, you cannot hatch Ditto from any variant of egg in Pokemon GO. The only way to snag a Ditto in Pokemon Go is by encountering one in disguise while you're out exploring.

Pokemon GO Ditto details

While there is no way to be absolutely sure whether a wild spawn is a Ditto, you can try to gauge the same by looking at the CP (Combat Power) of the Pokemon. If it is a Ditto, it will have less CP than is expected from the wild spawn of the particular Pokemon it is disguised as.

Furthermore, Ditto can transform into the first Pokemon it meets in battle when used in Gym attacking or defending. This transformation will remain the same for the entirety of the battle. While its CP and stats will remain the same, Ditto can also take up the fast and charged moves of the Pokemon it is copying. If used properly, this can provide trainers with a quick advantage.
