I caught a seviper in Emerald (still have the game, new save file) using the Master Ball. Boy did I suffer when catching the legendaries. I never caught one, Kyogre was the last thing I ever fought before resetting, and I killed Groudon without saving. I'm not sure about what I did with Rayquaza.
You missed one fact: if you get a munchlax after slathering honey, and you slather honey on the SAME tree, it has a 90% chance of being a munchlax. However, if you go to another tree after you get the munchlax, the chance is 0.1%
I feel pretty Lucky I put honesy on about 6 or 7 trees and just continued on through the game and forgetting them and the next day I saw the tree shaking and it was a munchlax. My first tree.
The real reason why Dunsparce is so rare is because is based on the japanese cryptid Tsuchinoko, who is kind of a bee-serpent like creature of tales that brings fortune to whoever encounter it.
@@alperkeskin9644 That, of course, requires you to have the game in question. Not everyone has a classic DS or DS Lite while were at it (Afterall, the 3DS and New 3DS are backwards compatible with the entire DS Library, and getting those, while not necessarily cheaper, is probably easier), so for many FRLG is out right from the start. Plus of course not everyone has the money to shed on a second DS to transfer 1 Pokemon from another game.
@@champking20 Pokémon games, especially DS and Gameboy Advance games are very, very, common games to make reproduction carts of due to their immense popularity and low secondhand sell rate. These carts can have problems like transferring and other communication features not working, crashes and bugs along with other problems. Finding a real authentic cart can cost up to $80
I’ve only encountered this once in my life when I was like 13. I ran out of Pokéballs and my friend convinced me to use a masterball on it. Rotom has been my favorite Pokémon ever since.
Wailord being exclusive to route 129 makes sense since it's probably the furthest from any land you can get in the game. Large whales typically don't come too close to land or else they get beached
It may also be that Wailmer tend to be caught before they have a chance to evolve, so the only place you encounter Wailord is far enough away from lower-level trainers they have a chance to grow.
Whales don’t get beached unless they are dying giving birth injured or dead if they are healthy they can go near land without getting dragged by the waves
Imagine you're an Unova citizen, waking up craving for a fish, so you head out to a random route. You find a rippling water, so it is logical to fish there since it is guaranteed catch, and instead of reeling in a basculin or magikarp, you reel in a Dragonite.
To be honest, I kinda like the idea of pseudo version exclusives, or at least different encounters for the same route between versions. It gives it the "every adventure is unique" without making you suffer too much and have to own a different version to get that pokemon for the dex.
I think that’s cool. You basically NEED help from HGSS to get a snorlax in DPP, because snorlax has static encounters in HGSS while in DPP you have to evolve munchlax
That’s a terrible concept because trading is incredibly annoying, especially with older games where you need to be physically near the other device And especially with snorlax, which even in HGSS is only findable in what is technically the postgame
I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I’d assume it’s because you have to put honey on a tree in order to get a munchlax in diamond, pearl, and platinum. I was thinking it was tyranitar in black and white because there’s a 1% chance of getting a tyranitar in a certain area. I remember I happened to run into it on my first try hunting for it, but I didn’t end up catching it, sadly
@@TrueWarlordMafia Yeah, that's the joke anyway. In all honestly pokemon HGSS Riolu is super underlooked in difficulty to obtain, you should check it out.
17:47 I caught a shiny Volcarona from an SOS battle in Ultra Sun once. Finding that was completely insane and it's my most valued shiny along with my shiny void glitch Darkrai from Diamond.
I'd like to mention an error that was made regarding Black 2 White 2: Pinsir and Heracross are respectively the rarest pokemon in those games by far. They have a .25% or .75% chance of being in the Lostlorn Forest grotto respectively.
Psyzard squarepants getting a munchlax was the most rewarded feeling ever as a child and showing off to your friends felt more fun. Now there’s nothing much to really show off.
@@ernestomartinez377 It's all luck dependent. Giving each tile 2 chances could get you it in an hour, it could get you it in multiple days given that there are hundreds of potential tiles in that river you can find it on...
@@frizzykid100 I just fished Feebas on Ruby. It took 3 hours with one encounter per tile. In comparison it took me 4 hours to fish Feebas on BDSP using the same method.
Took me over half the river on route 119. Found it by my secret base at the top of the waterfall. I checked every tile starting from the very bottom of route 119 3 times Theres only 6 random tiles you can fish it from depending on your mixed records or trainer number. Somthing like that
Actually, in Gen 2, if you beat Hiker Anthony on Route 33 and get his number, he'll call you occasionally when there's an upsurge of Dunsparce in the cave, and you can go and catch a whole bunch of them.
I like how in BDSP, Munchlax was made easier via Grand Underground. But in turn, Heracross is now the rarest. 5% on the rare encounter table of honey trees ONLY.
Wailord in the gen 3 makes sense, that area, if I remember correctly, is right near the beach so it's the one area that has such open sea access and whales, rarely, come close to beaches so it KINDA makes sense
I have never caught a Tauros in gen 1. They are so hard to find, and flee almost every time. I completed the pokedex multiple times as a kid, but I always had to trade Tauros to get it.
I remember when trying to hunt for a Bagon in Moon so I could evolve it into a Salamence instead of waiting for an SOS call, I got a shiny Cutiefly before I encountered a Bagon, A SHINY.
No it's actually a 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance. That's why every shiny zubat is hacked.
13:45 I once caught a SHINY AUDINO. It's purple instead of pink. It was my first shiny ever (and 1st Pokemon game too). 🥰🥰 I also forgot to trade it to my sister when I reset my game. :')
I feel you should've added one exclusion from the list, and one that would topple Dunsparce in the second edition. II ed games have introduced the calendar and daytime, which affect catch rates. There is actually an event in which Dunsparces rate is like 25% near Goldenrod. To get it, I believe you need to get a phone call from a trainer there. Or I might be mistaken about the area, as I recall there's another event with Dittos there.
The fact that Ralts was the rarest Pokémon in ORAS astonishes me. During my first play though a random chance ralts popped out of the grass and it was SHINY. So like that’s gotta be like winning the lottery.
Vegito Blue ah yes, I certainly lied about that story, even though it would be much more impressive to find stuff from the honey trees. Or in ANY OTHER GAME before x and y because shiny rate was twice as low!! Don’t try it loser.
Takes me back,I remember going in the hidden grotto in pinwheel forest for the first time and a murkrow was the encounter. I later swept the white tree with it and a Salamanca I found in a grotto as a bagon
I just caught a bagon in the grass after beating Cheren. (she’s a Salamence now, her name is Tohru after the Dragon Maid.). I actually got a munchlax from the grotto tutorial
18:12 I actually caught a wild Articuno within 10 minutes of finishing the game! it was the first Pokémon I could after the last cutscene in Pallet Town, so no catch combo! I have no idea how it happened lol
Oh My God.... I must have spent a hundred hours as a kid trying to find Feebas and that was it??!!? Just a few tiles?? I went onto every single water route, dive route, fished everywhere and never found it.
Yes and no, he was wrong, the tiles Feebas is in are random every time, and they only spawn in 6 out of the hundred tiles. You can’t know the tiles beforehand like he said
Its determined by the "trendy saying" in Dewford Town. I found that if you put in "Blaze Babe" then the tiles are right up next to the waterfall on top of that route 119
@@LOLquendoTV i honestly just got lucky. When i was a kid i started with torchic, and just happened to put that in. I knew from a friend that it was only in certain tiles, and i had NO CLUE whatsoever that the saying had anything to do with it, but i guess when i did it, they were right there next to the waterfall. Ive tried it on emulators and it works.
When I started playing Pokémon in second grade, Pokémon pearl, I thought every Pokémon was a legendary because I thought they were all cool and/or cute. I learnt later that some where more valuable then others, but that was while playing Omega Ruby. I still consider some common Pokémon as legendary simply because I like them
@@eagletgriff let's see... All the starters, Shinx, Budew, Cranidos, Shieldon , Burmy, Shellos (because it had two different forms and my brain couldn't comprehend that), Drifloon, Buneary, Misdreavus, Bronzor, Mime Jr., Chatot, Gible, Hippopotas (same situation as Shellos) , Skorupi, Crogunk, Carnivine, Finneon, Mantyke, Snover, Sneasel, Lickytung, Tangela, Piloswine, pikachu, Magnemite, Pachirisu, Aipom, Glameow, Gible, Teddiursa, and much more
7:23 Michael:"Magneton is the other rarest pokemon being in new mauville with an encounter rate of 1%" Me who found 3 magnetons in a row not knowing how rare they actually are:.....
"If you want a Munchlax in those games, just breed a Snorlax" Yeah that would be great, if the method to obtain a Snorlax in those games weren't *EVOLVING* a *MUNCHLAX* . Just give up on the -lax family...
I don’t think it’s fair to pick an evolved Pokémon with a low percentage when it’s pre-evolution could be found at 10%. Idk if that makes sense, but i guess if you’re strictly talking about percentages then you’re correct.
@@masblangkon4368 Y E S i never liked the pokemon snorlax back then,i took pokemon based on looks. which,now that im grown a little i realize that is stupid
I'm legitimately surprised about Dunsparce. Reason being is that when I got gold for Christmas and my first gameboy I made my way to dark cave for the first time, went in, and the first thing that I encountered was a dunsparce. I even caught it thinking it was cool and would be pretty strong only to have it get slapped around by literally everything it went up against. Needless to say that thing turned into box rot most ricky tick.
@@cmf4706 in Pokemon sun one of the first few routes you can chain bagons and have a rare chance for a salamance to be summoned in at an insanely low level. Also seeing how it was fully evolved it wrecked.
@@cmf4706 There is one area in the first island in Pokemon Sun and Moon where you run into Bagons that can S.O.S call a Salamance at lv. 9 but there is a 1% chance Bagon will SOS call the Salamance
I remember there being a single patch of grass when you exit a certain cave, that was full of ONLY Dunsparce. Also, no mention of Wynaut in Gen3? He can only be caught in the wild on Mirage Island.
One thing that could be added to Gen 1 is that while the encounter rate obv. is higher, the Safari Zone adds the difficulty of fleeing Pokemon. Elsewhere in the wild they might be less occuring, but more predictable catch-fights when they happen.
UNLESS however, you know about the Safari-Zone Glitch that spawns you on Cinnabar Island and spawning the Pokemon of the last visited Safari Zone area on the beach, thus eliminating this factor. Yes, it's a Glitch but it makes catching those rare Pokémon a lot easier, since you can now weaken them and use your Ultra Balls or throw cloned Master Balls. lol
19:45 the picture from that shiny zapdos is from a video of one of the worst if not THE worst shiny bird fails I've ever seen in my life, every time I remember that it gives me stress
@@Gloomdrake yeah the GTS is probably one of the best features in the later games though in the earlier games (red, blue, yellow, ect...) I had a huge problem with evolving my kadabra
Can you imagine running into a wild bagon by chance at the start of the game and then getting decimated by a Salamence before you've caught a single Pokemon
@@Eckoman18 who now? A player who had there latios faint to a pikachu? Dam, what have trainers become And not even Reds pikachu But Ash Thats some bs plot armour there
Got insanely lucky without knowing it, caught munchlax on the first and only honey tree I ever bothered to use playing platinum..didn't know it was that rare untill watching this
I never picked the masterball up XD cue mean looking latias every time I saw it for the improbable chance of catching it. But hey, I did catch Rayquaza with a pokeball, so there's that.
Ok but what about green tho? For those who don't know, there is actually a pokemon Green, which was the original counterpart to Red, but was only ever released in Japan.
@@anormalcorpus4804 I just went on link trades with a jangmo-o named "eiscue pls" and i eventually got an eiscue. Then i repeated the process with other sword exclusives for other shield exclusives, and now i'm playing through shield for a zamazenta even though i already have the dex entry just because i want it. Just completed the ice gym (which is a rock gym in sword) and i'm bored out of my mind because i already played sword lol
Did you consider the odds of mirage island at all for Gen 3? You didn't specifically exclude it, and despite knowing the method of having mirage island appear, it still has very low odds. Wynaut shows there with 100%, but it always seemed incredibly difficult to reach.
@@josephhanicak7922 exactly. Save before checking, if it is a munchlax keep resetting. You will get a shiny one with perfect IVs eventually, though it may take several years
For whatever reason, when I played Leaf Green, I found maybe we'll over 2 dozen Dunsparce, one after the other in a single patch of grass. I've also found maybe three Dragonairs in the wild, max. But this was almost 20 years ago.
The reason for that was that, in the tiles where Feebas is, he has a very high encounter rate and only finding those tiles is enough. For Dragonite and Munchlax, they have a 1% encounter rate besides the part that they appear in only a few select places at the time. EDIT: Wrong pokemon, it was Dragonite
I got your criteria. And you’re mathematically correct indeed. But, if I can easily catch a psyduck, a slowpoke and a doduo and than just level then up, their evolutions isn’t rare to obtain in the game at all. Maybe you should have done the same math but with Pokémon in their first stage, with no pre-evolution at all or hard to envolve in a rare event plus the rare odds to find their pre-evolution as well. This variables combined will represent much more the feeling of rarity the Pokémon have in their games.
He literally said that he's considering the encounter rate of the Pokémon *in the wild,* and considers Pokémon of the same evolutionary line to be different (like Azurill and Marill being considered separate*
Him: *excluding Feebas because the area it's in is hard to obtain, and it's 50%* Me: *doing a nuzloke and randomly encountering a Feebas even when I didn't know the tiles but couldn't obtain it due to me already having a Pokemon in that area*
If it is was also about catching then chansey would definitely take the cake like chansey is like a nightmare when you have to catch it in the safari zone
Dude in pokemon firered I was so triggered and almost gave due to the fact that Chansey will run away in the Safari zone. I wasted so much time to find this pokemon just to complete my Kanto pokedex
I have actually caught all of these Pokemon in those exact conditions I have not played Lets Go P/E though, so I don’t have the birds Salamance was really rare but Bagon calls quite a few times during a battle so at some point it will call a Salamance, took me like 40-50 fights with a Bagon, as it would consume all its PP (I think I got lucky, a friend to this day never could and he has tried more than me) Dragonite in gen 5 was the hardest by far, it was an insane quest and took what it seemed like an eternity, truly one of the rarest pokemon in that game, it took me around 100-130 ripple things, so 1% is exactly right 😂 Munchlax is just impossible if you don’t cheat time/know where the trees are, and I didn’t want to do either of those
i accidentally found a feebas when i played emerald for the first time , then proceeded to run from it cuz i didn't even know what it was and thought it was just a knock off magikarp
I can confirm, Ralts is tough to find in ORAS. While you can use the DexNav on the PokèNav Plus to search for it, you have to capture the species before you can do that. And what's worse is that there are 4 (1 on Route 101 and 3 on Route 102) special, pre-determined Hidden Pokèmon (Hidden Pokèmon are Pokèmon that you find via searching with DexNav, but the special ones are the same, except they spawn in without searching before meeting up with May/Brendan on Route 102, are at Lv. 5, while other Pokèmon in the area are lower than that, and have egg moves [maybe, Idk, gotta check later]), and none of them are Ralts. They are instead more common Pokèmon (i.e. Poochyena on Route 101 and Zigzagoon, Surskit, and Seedot/Lotad [OR/AS, respectively]). Edit: After a long time searching (because I only have AS, so Seedot was tough to research), I found the results for the moves. You can read if your interested, not really part of the story, but anyways, Poochyena has Thunder Fang (chosen Treecko), Fire Fang (chosen Mudkip), or Ice Fang (chosen Torchic), Zigzagoon has Charm (it also has Tail Whip but it gets it at Lv. 5 anyways, not really an egg move, so who cares), Lotad has Teeter Dance, Seedot has Beat Up, and Surskit has Fell Stinger.
As a kid I would spend hours looking for a dunsparce in that cave, he was a staple of my team. Idk why I just liked him because he was so damn hard to find. I would always lead with him to get the glare off.
