Seconds later, the screen goes purple and the creature transforms into Ditto.

For more information on Ditto -- including spawns and battling -- there's a pretty thorough thread on Reddit here.

In a nutshell, though, it sounds as though Ditto is now available worldwide, and can pop up in the same way any normal Pokémon spawns -- the only difference is, he'll be in disguise.
