So... you mean to tell me... you have a small chance to catch an unevolveable shiny magicarp? Sign me up. Edit: It isn't about just having a level 100 shiny magicarp. It is about the journey. And fishing for a 1 in a several million chance sounds a lot more fun to me than leveling a shiny magicarp to level 100. At least it would be a more unique story. Edit 2: I'm sorry. I spent around a year on and off fishing for the shiny level 100. I caught 4 regular 100 and a level 80 something shiny (iirc). I took a longer hiatus after moving and have lost my 3ds and almost all of my 3ds and ds games. It has thousands of hours of memories and losing it doesn't mean I can't, but it has been hard to motivate myself to get a new 3ds and a new copy. I'm still holding out hope I find my missing games, but things have been upacked for a while. Sorry for those who hoped to see a legend, but I doubt I'll ever pick up this challenge again.

​@@Sterlingx11If you surf in those tiles right after doing the pokeball tutorial from the drunk in Viridian, you can indeed get level 100 (or above) pokemon, including glitched ones. Bulbapedia has an article called "Fight Safari Zone Pokemon Trick", which explains the underlying glitch and then the catching-tutorial-variant at the bottom, but for completeness' sake: -We activate the "pokemon catching tutorial in Viridian; this makes the game temporarily write your trainer name to a currently unused bit of memory, which happens to be the "wild encounter table", so that it can replace your name with "Old Man" for the tutorial -after the tutorial, it restores your chosen name using the data it saved a moment ago. It doesn't bother wiping the encounter table though- there are no grass or water tiles in Viridian, and if you go to another route, the script will overwrite that data with that route's encounter table, so no worries, right? -...Cinnabar however has no intended encounter tiles, so it has no script to overwrite that data, so the encounter table is left holding the trainer name if you fly there... -...But the tiles on the east shoreline _do_ allow for wild encounters, due to an oversight*. Whoops. Now the game pulls whatever data is in the random encounter table bit of memory like normal... which has whatever data corresponds with the symbols in your name. The table defines both species and level, so if your name says one possibility is, say, a level 135 Gengar, when hey, that's what the encounter script will generate for you *I think technically you're surfing on route 22, but the game groups tiles into 2x2 sets, and uses the bottom right one to check whether encounters are possible, and the bottom _left_ to see which encounter table to draw from if so, presumably due to an oversight. This means you can be surfing, but the game decides to draw from the "land" encounter table, which in this case is filled with "junk data" (your trainer name). If you don't do the catching tutorial, it will instead use whatever land data was last set; the other potential use of this would be getting safari zone encounters without the safari zone "battle" mechanics

[@Mavendow]

Not necessarily. They do MOSTLY return to level 100 but there's a few which keep their absurdly high level. I know because I caught a level 200-something Gengar which leveled up quickly. Unfortunately, at level 255 it did not go back to 100 but rather 0. Haha.

The highest leveled pokemon you can encounter in the wild are actually over lvl 100. Pokemon Red & Blue, when you do the Missingno glitch, not only is Missingno higher than lvl 100, but you will occasionally encounter 2 over maxed leveled pokemon. The 2 pokemon appear to be random, and is different with every playthrough. At one point, instead of a pokemon, I encountered one of the ghost trainers that you see in Pokemon Tower. The trainer had 6 pokemon, and froze the game after sending out the first; a Missingno.

@@AbhijitJena19 raising competitive mons has never been easier IMO. If you see a Pokémon you want in a raid and it’s at least 5 stars, you get at least 4 perfect IVs. You use mints to change its nature if needed, vitamins to EV train it , ability capsule/patch to change its ability if needed, and bam that mon is ready. Even if you find a random shiny you can do all of what I just said and use bottle caps to fix its IVs. I love this gen

[@AbhijitJena19]

@@PsychicJaguar19 wow that sounds amazing and about damn time they did something about this. I haven't played actual comp since USUM and back then not only did I hate breeding mechanic to get a decent team but it also felt wrong to just breed 100+ of a mon just to get good ivs and nature.

[@PsychicJaguar19]

@@AbhijitJena19 Right? Even though mints, bottle caps, and vitamins can be pricy it's also braindead easy to farm money in this game with easy levling up, the amulet coin, and the ace tournament. Lol ironic that you say that because gen 7 is still my favorite because it was the last game to allow all pokemon up to that gen at the time and the last we got to see of crazy mechanics like mega evolution and Z moves. I'm playing it atm and switch back and forth between gen 7 and 9. Yeah it's a huge pain I try to alleviate that by doing SOS for Dittos with good IVS but its hard to find ideal natures for them.
