Good point ! But in my case besides making me ' less messed up ' it just made me feel numb , sleepy or careless . It made me feel like I wasn ' t living at all so I started to get off them . If it ' d make me happy without side effects I ' d be the maker ' s best customer ! <| sep |> Potential disconfirmation observation of Ditto being the same for all players My partner just caught a Pidgey that turned into a Ditto about 3 minutes ago . She phoned me and I jogged to find the pidgey around 34 minutes after she told me . I caught the Pidgey with a curved , ultra ball great throw . It did not transform into Ditto for me She has a Ditto I do not . The only way I can think of this happening while Ditto is the same for everyone is if she caught a Ditto , and it despawned and a new Pidgey spawned on the same spot within those 34 minutes . The chances of that happen are pretty low though , I ' d have thought . This spot typically spawns Pidgey , Rats , Eevee and Venonats . It seems to have more than 1 spawn an hour , but I don ' t know what time it typically changes and there ' s usually 5 minutes between spawns maybe more
