2424 MechanicDescriptionNatural hidingHide behind trees, stalls, buildings, rocks, or any environmental features on the island.Camouflage transformationPress ZR near an object to transform into it. Ditto takes on the appearance of the object, blending into the surroundings. This is the signature mechanic that makes the mini-game unique.
2525 While camouflaged, Ditto's movement is slowed and interaction with other Pokemon is disabled. Stay still for the most convincing disguise, as movement while transformed can give away your position.

3030  
3131 Check common hiding spots: behind trees, inside buildings, around stalls and furniture.Look for oddly placed objects. A barrel sitting in an unusual spot or a rock that seems out of place could be a disguised player.Watch for movement. Camouflaged players who move will reveal themselves.Bring companion Pokemon along, as they may react differently to disguised players.

4347 Transform into objects that naturally exist in the area. A barrel near a storage area or a rock near a cliff face is less suspicious than one in the middle of a path.Stay completely still after transforming. Movement while camouflaged is the most common way to get caught.As a seeker, memorize what your island looks like before the game starts. Anything new or out of place is likely a hidden player.Islands with more decorations and furniture create better hiding spots. Consider decorating your island with diverse objects before hosting.Play on larger islands with more terrain variety for the best Hide-and-Seek experience. Palette Town's open sandbox space works well.
