1% ENCOUNTER RATE POKEMON YOU MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT

[@Tristan_Shuler]

8:35 what are you talking about? You can totally buy coins at the game corner. That’s straight up false information. You can only buy 50 coins at a time so it’s super grindy, but with the old man glitch to get infinite rare candy to sell, you’ll have to spend about 30 minutes buying enough coins to get the Porygon.

[@Nightlingbolt]

Or just rematch the League? If my math is right, you should need to do it, I think about 7 times in Red, Yellow, and FireRed.

[@londonripton2037]

Their info on Feebas is also incorrect. In DPPT, Feebas has a 50% encounter rate in Mt. Coronet, not 6%. The 6% figure comes from a line on Bulbapedia, which says that there's a 6% chance a player could miss all 4 Feebas tiles despite reeling in a Pokemon on every encounter.

[@toualee1430]

What about the 1% chance of encountering a Dragonite with its hidden ability in the hidden grotto in black and white 2

[@RaymanMArenaCommunity]

Wait, that's a 1% chance? I got that one on my very first try...

[@silverden8706]

Feebas location is not actually determined by save file in Gen 3, the tiles can be changed by adjusting the fan club phrase in Dewford Town

[@fireboltthunder2360]

I actually found a wild Wailord on route 129 once, didn’t even know they were wild at the time

[@londonripton2037]

Same! I caught a Lv. 27 Wailord on Route 129 when I was going to school as a kid; definitely helped with the Sealed Chamber puzzle!

[@kaipography]

You can definitely just buy the coins in Gen 1. If you couldn’t, the casino would be inaccessible after you ran out of the free coins.

[@Tristan_Shuler]

I just commented the same thing. It’s false information.

[@oliverleonard7730]

What about Salamence in Pokémon UltraSun and UltraMoon since Bagon has a 1% encounter and then you'd have to get it to SOS call Salamence.

[@dramaticScar]

There is also that crazy Salamance in pokemon Sun and Moon in route 2

[@oliverleonard7730]

Other 1% encounters are Weezing in Burned Tower in Crystal, Pigeotto in Viridian Forest in Yellow and Clefairy on the 1st floor of Mt. Moon in Red and Blue, plus FireRed and LeafGreen also one of the Nidoran family is a 1% encounter on Route 3 in FireRed and LeafGreen depending on the version.

[@sorox1234]

I think you're wrong about Feebas in the original RSE games, it's tied to one of those add lib style dialog things you fill in in Dewford

[@PkMkPresto487]

I've used pressure Pokémon to find level 100 Magikarp. Last time I found one, my game random froze 😵‍💫

[@axelltheswampert7553]

I went to the Resort Area and I was told about something special in the water, after fishing tons of "regular" Magikarps I found a Lv 90 shiny! And at first I wasn't sure if that was the special thing that I was supposed to find. I thought it was another shiny everyone could get like the red Gyarados in Johto

[@Nightlingbolt]

Apparently, in Ruby only, the wild Wailord's level range is 35-40. So just slap on a Repel, and you're good to go.

[@sk818factory5]

Feebas is easier to catch on a game with a dead battery

[@silversalamence10]

I remember catching the 1% Safari Zone Dragonair a few times, and at least one with the 5% Dragon Fang too. Having said that, I didn't know about the Pressure trick in Platinum, I might give that a try.

[@TheRealxVincent]

Me, who got a wild Wailord from a random encounter because I played WAY too much Sapphire: 👁️ 👄 👁️

[@londonripton2037]

3:55 This is incorrect. Feebas have a 50% encounter rate on the four specific tiles in Mt. Coronet. The "6%" statistic you're using is in reference to a line from Bulbapedia stating "If the player reels in one Pokémon in every tile, there is a 1 in 16 (approximately 6%) chance they will pass over all four Feebas tiles without reeling in a single Feebas"

[@bluejey449]

Attach the pokewalker to a remote control car. My brother abused that trick

[@cecillewolters1995]

I caught most of these for my ultimate living dex. Lv.25 Dragonair was a challenge, but it was nothing compared to Lv.25 Magcargio in Mt. Ember

[@vulfdad]

That dragonair one I caught

[@JudgeMocha]

I have a Pokewalker and I take with me everywhere. When I do cardio (yuck), I will typically do a 2-mile run, so clocking in the 10,000 steps isn't the challenge. Let me tell you that I've been doing this for a long, LONG, time and I still haven't encountered that Torchic...

[@ultimate_pleb]

2:29 i did this one it took me a month of doing 10,000 steps per day just to catch one luckily it had a good nature

[@oman4229]

Idk if anyone else has done this (I discovered it by accident) in the tall grass going to the elite 4 in Pokemon gold (victory road area) I encountered a wild charzard. Idk even know what I did to trigger it but I was never able to trigger it again.

[@IronWolf123]

You probably had a cheat enabled because Charizard can't be found in the wild until Let's Go

[@oman4229]

@ I was playing on the original gameboy color without a GameShark years ago lol. Again I don’t know how it happened but no the cheats of today didn’t exist back then lol.

[@IronWolf123]

@ you probably got it mixed with Pidgeotto or Moltres

[@OfficialFriendzone]

@@oman4229man na I feel you, I Kidd you not when I was a kid I played emerald and I found a wild Lileep in the rainy route east of Fortree

[@oman4229]

@@IronWolf123 A red lizard with dragon wings is very hard to mix up friend lol. My only guess is it may have been a similar trigger of how to encounter mew legally on the original red & blue version in cerulean city on the bridge on the original gameboy color.

[@alexpannoni2620]

I actually got the less than 1% Dragonair in the Firered safari zone. I got extremely lucky finding it after 3 encounters.

[@taylorjones4386]

I did not know torchick was rare

[@crisontv]

You did know

[@taylorjones4386]

@crisontv I never played gold and silver, Ruby and sapphire so I didn't know that torchick was rare

[@IronWolf123]

For Magikarp, does the repel trick work on fishing?

[@kaipography]

No repel trick doesn’t work while fishing.

[@gelnart25]

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊 🎉

[@septimussilva2005]

To think that I have caught safari Dragonair a couple of times... And speaking of safari, johto has its share of painfully low encounter rate guys as well

[@bennconner1195]

I actually caught a febas in Pokémon Dimond and then evolved it into a Milotic.

[@Dom_P1]

7:00 there are artisan poltchageist outbreaks so it’s easy to get the Pokemon

[@TomCat2563]

Happy New Year's 2025. I remember the Pokewalker and HeartGold and SoulSilver in '10.

[@PikaRaichupikapika]

What do you think the odds would be to find a shiny level 1 or level 99 Magikarp I know the base odds are 1 in 8192 but I'm bad at math so I don't even know the odds for that even happening.

[@johnandrews1025]

I still have my Heart Glold and Soul Silver with the Kmart price tag.

[@Goro_Maj1ma]

Ah, you're one of those weak youtubers that has to have community guidelines to agree to comment lmfao 🤡

[@KlaviersAnthology]

I have this manaphy, loved Pokémon rangers 😢... But... It has NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL , with a generated manaphy from pkhex if you get the date close to when rangers was hot 🔥 to make it 10000000% percent undistinguishable and believable. Times like this i was generating mons wasn't a thing: Pokémon like these would cost a fortune cause of some idiot rich collectors, like it happens in TCG 😂.

[@massivelegend6610]

I found a Shiny Ryhorn in the Safari Zone once. It ran any sadly lol

[@jabu1591]

I caught walord, feebas and munchlax. Didn’t know I was lucky

[@nicholuswilliams6443]

Shiny Victini

[@SajidTankovic]

Nice broo :D

[@veghesther3204]

But MOST of the less then 1% ones aren't really good most are CRAP.
