Ditto disguises itself as other Pokémon, so when you encounter it in the wild, it will look like a normal Pidgey, Rattata, or whatever. It only reveals itself after it’s been caught, like in this video from the game.

One of Ditto’s moves is “transform,” meaning it can change into its opponent’s shape during Pokémon battles.
