"Ditto Mechanics Have Changed From Previously Established Rules"

#PokemonGO: https://ift.tt/2yt9TBb had been established for a while now that Ditto honored weatherboost in Partly Cloudy weather, being a normal type. If you caught say a Weedle in Partly Cloudy weather and it revealed itself as a Ditto, that Ditto would still reward 125 dust (no weather boost icon, just 125 in place of 100). Its IVs would also all be >4. This meant Partly Cloudy weather was a great time to hunt for high IV Ditto, if you collected them. There was also a trick that if you saw a Weedle with such high CP - close to the max of 400 or so - in Partly Cloudy weather, it was actually a Ditto in disguise. The level of the disguise and Ditto matched. (This trick also worked in reverse like seeing a CP 10 Weedle in Cloudy weather meant you found a level 1 Ditto.)It seems that some things have changed with the April Fool's 2020 event. I caught a Ditto disguised as Foongus -- and I knew it was beforehand because of the established level rule and the aid of Calcy IV telling me it was at least level 33. But my Ditto had 0 stamina IV. That's impossible in a weatherboost. That was the first thing I knew changed, and for a while, the only thing I knew changed.Reviewing the video at the top, I noticed that Ditto's level may actually be 30 or less. Using gamepress CP Calculator with recorded IVs, this Ditto is actually level 28. And I hadn't noticed this at first either, but a third thing changed: My Ditto only awarded 100 stardust.Interestingly, at level 33, Foongus with the same IVs would have CP 784 according to Gamepress, not 774. So the IVs do not correlate. But the level 33 seems accurate, and that's what Calcy gave. The 5 level difference may be a coincidence, but I think that aspect of weather boost is still in effect.More research is encouraged! Weather is sunny here now, but I haven't seen a Foongus appear at level 1-5 according to Calcy. I am also curious if a level 31-35 Ditto could be found in Sunny or Cloudy if it's disguised as a Foongus. Finally, is the 100 stardust true or a visual bug? I did not keep track of my total stardust closely to make sure if I am receiving 100 stardust outside of partly cloudy and 125 stardust within partly cloudy. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/3aDCmlX
