Ditto is the holy grail for Breeding and it's imperative to get high IV Ditto to breed it with your Pokémon to get as much IVs as possible. For those of you that didn't know, IVs, much like EVs, affect the stats of your Pokémon. This is why you should opt for both parent Pokémon to have as much maxed out IVs as possible to get an offspring that has all six maxed out IVs which you can use for your competitive battles. Today, we're going to show you how you can easily grind 4-6 IV Dittos in Pokémon Sun and Moon.
Pokémon Sun and Moon Guide: Infinite Ditto PP
Verlisify shows an amazing new trick to farm Dittos effectively without the Pokémon dropping PPs (which is the common problem of Ditto SOS chaining method). So basically what you need to do is to get a Pokémon to get the Recycle move which you can get from Munchlax or simply breed and get Munchlax into your team. Next step, delete all the other moves from the Pokémon or Munchlax except for the Recycle move. Next one, you need to get Dhelmise for its Switcheroo move which basically switches the held items on the target. The last thing you'll need for this guide to work is the Leppa Berry which basically restores PP to the user.

Now that we got all the stuffs that we need, we'll just have to find a Ditto encounter and start the SOS chaining method. Once you find the Ditto, use the Pokémon that only has the Recycle move and wait for the Ditto to use Transform. Now just keep on using the SOS chaining method and once Ditto drops its PP, you can then switch to Dhelmise and with the Switcheroo ability, you can then give the Ditto your Leppa Berry which in turn, enables the Ditto to have infinite PP with the use of Recycle on every Leppa Berry it consumes.
Pokémon Sun and Moon Guide: How to Get 6 IV Ditto Easily
Now that you have the inifinite SOS chaining method, you'll just have to catch as much Ditto as you can and hope for the RNG to give you four to six IV Ditto. Take note that you'll probably get a couple of four IV Dittos on your first 20-40 catch and if you do, you'd probably want to breed them with your Pokémon to get a maxed out IVs. Here's a cool tip to get a six IV Pokémon:
Simply breed your four IV Ditto with your Pokémon with the use of Destiny Knot. Now, the resulting offspring will then have closer resemblance to the IV spreads of the parent Ditto (four maxed out IV). Now, you'll then breed the offspring to another four maxed out IV Ditto that you caught (different IV spreads) and the resulting offspring will then have as much maxed out IVs depending on the RNG of breeding. Bottom line is, you'll need to get either Fantastic or Best stats for your Pokémon to get as much efficiency as possible.
