Den questions (SPOILERS)

[Hannelore]

The dens in route 4 are confusing me and I was wondering if someone could clear some things up about them for me.

 

First, last time I was resetting for den mons (this was prior to updating to the latest version) I was able to clear the den and see a second pokemon without it changing from blue. So I had saved in front of a blue den, it would say it was X Pokemon, then I could clear it and it would be a second pokemon in a still blue den. Then I would hit F12 and it would still be a blue den and I would get 2 tries again before resetting. I was able to find a Ditto this way last night but the IVs were shockingly bad so I hit F12 after catching it. 

 

Then I updated my game because I didn't realise there was a .3 version until last night. Since then, however, I haven't been able to find another Ditto in the same den but I also don't seem to be able to get 2 tries like I did before. Has this changed? Also, can you catch multiple ditto? I'm worried I messed up and will never find one again :(

I struggled to find ditto at that den in v13.2 and after like ~100 tries I gave up. I think its just RNG. It may have been changed in V13.3 but I kind of doubt it. 

 

You can always use debug mode to just give yourself a ditto, Or just debug your IV/Natures to what you want, since they are both legitimately available just tedious to get.

Thanks :)

 

I actually reverted back to the old version 13 and found one very quickly, then updated to the latest version. It only ever seemed to show up on the second try pokemon in the den but with the latest version it looks like you only get one shot; this is probably the way dens are meant to work anyway but I do wonder if something got broken with Ditto in the latest update, unfortunately. I'll be interested to see how people go in obtaining it now :)
