Chameleon

Beldum, iirc, has the lowest non-legendary catch rate at 3. (Source) And according to this website, your chance of catching a 1hp, level 7, paralysed Beldum is 4.74% with a normal, 6.42% with a Great and 7.97% with an Ultra Ball. I'm afraid you were pretty unlucky, though it doesn't necessarily sound like a bug.

As a Blue player who's also unhappy about the issue, I'm afraid the staff can't do anything. It's the players who dictate the server economy, so it's up to the players to fix/stabilise it.

Nevermind, please lock.

I agree, most of the NPCs just waste your time and you're forced to battle a team of Lvl 20s with your high levelled Pokemon. I understand that the staff can't do much about this, I've just read that they would need to re-write every NPC script, individually, and it's probably not worth their effort at this stage. But their solution (i.e. teleport Pokemon) could have been more helpful. In my opinion, it's very unnecessary to have a Teleport user in your party as well as the cost. It should be free, because NPCs resetting is a bad game design. We shouldn't have had teleport Pokemon in the first place, it shouldn't have been a 'feature'. Teleport Pokemon should only be there to compensate the bad game design.

1: I do not agree with you at all on this. Exp given is very low. Or Exp requirement is very high. Not everybody has the time to play PRO for 5+ hrs a day. Finding a good enough Pokemon already is challenging, training it should not be taking this long. I, for instance, want to have all sorts of different Pokemon with different builds. I can easily think of 200+ Pokemon builds that I would love to use in this game. But unfortunately, I cannot do that because finding and training the Pokemon takes a lot of time. It took me around 3hrs to train a Rattata for Hoenn and that was only till lvl 80. At the moment PvP is all about building the strongest team and beating everyone. This game has a wider PvP aspect than it currently does. I do like having a strong team that I can rely on and that is my priority. I'm trying to build a main team as we speak. But I also like to try out unconventional builds just for giggles. Who cares if I lose, I would laugh my bottom off if I could KO one Pokemon using my Special Raticate. But I cannot do that because finding and training it is taking too much of my time. Times that by 200 other builds I want to try out, I'll have grand kids. The current exp system is limiting players, limiting the potential fun factor of the game. The PvP aspect of the game should mean a lot more than bragging rights. EV training is also worth mentioning under this. Macho Brace is indeed very helpful, but it still takes me around ~2hrs per Pokemon, depending on the EV I'm training and the level of the Pokemon, too. Power Items are necessary, it'll reduce the time needed from ~2hrs to 40 mins or so and you won't need to travel to 2 different places since (e.g.) you can get 4xDef EVs while killing Slowpokes for 1xHP EVs. 2 and 3: The game has a lot of content to explore. Headbutting every available tree takes a good 2+ hrs. There are some daily quests too. Boss battles, digging and probably some other stuff I can't think of. And of course catching & training Pokemon. That's already a considerable amount of hrs per day; gone! It would be cruel to make more things time consuming. The game should be balanced b/w people who have all day to play and people who only have a few hrs a day. For me, it's pretty balanced except what I explained above about Exp and EVs.

The game's good the way it is, minus the grind fest for training (that includes EVs). I would love to try out unconventional Pokemon builds (ie physical Alakazam) just for laughs and giggles, but it seems like a waste of time thanks to having no Power Items in the game and the cruel Exp system.

2- The move Role Play will make you aware of the opposing Pokemon's ability.

Refer to this thread for the Pumpkin King: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=122&t=9593 I don't think that 'cave' is accessible. I'm a member, it was still blocked.

Seafoam B4F is pretty good. You can access there by surfing south from Pallet Town which would take you to Cinnabar. Then surf right from there.

https://www.dragonflycave.com/gen6capturecalc.aspx According to this, you have a 21.668% chance of catching Hera (with 40% HP) using a normal PokeBall. 29.374% with GreatBall and 36.44% with UltraBall... So you were just slightly unlucky to waste 7 normal Pokeballs on it. If you False Swiped it and put it to sleep, you would've had 53.068% chance of catching it with a normal Pokeball. That's better than double the chance you had in the first place. I'm not trying to be offensive, but most of the times it's better to quit whining and try finding a solution. Good luck in the future. Edit: Oh the link has already been posted. Didn't realize. :)

Your Pokedex in game will tell you that it's level 28.

As far as I know, you have a 5% chance of finding a Pokemon with hidden ability. Here's my suggestion, get a Kadabra with Role Play in its moveset. When you use Role Play, the battle dialogue will say "Kadabra's ability is now Regenerator (or whatever)" so you're 100% sure of your opponent's ability. And if you get a Synchronize Kadabra, then it's a win-win.

You will need the Super Rod to catch Dratini in the Safari; so don't waste any more money.

Good call ^^ sorry for mistake. Replace Ice Beam with Icy Wind then. Thanks :Grin: Oh I wasn't aware of an Icy Wind Tutor, thanks for that. :) I would also suggest replacing Dark Pulse with Shadow Ball because it gets STAB, and has fewer resistances even though it is ineffective on Normal types. Nice guide btw. Should help a lot of people.

And how exactly do u get Ice Beam for Gengar? As far as I know, it can't learn Ice Beam. https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/gengar

Pikachu was able to learn Surf in gen 4: https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/pikachu/moves/4 You can't try to bring much logic to these sort of stuff really. Think of how Rhydon gets Surf, Gyara gets Fire Blast, T.bolt etc :Crazy:

has been discussed recently https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23601

There's Ferrothorn too, which of course is also rare and you will need the services of a Move Relearner. Btw, how much happiness would you need? I increased my Ferro's happiness to 151, tried it and it didn't work. Tried it twice at 156 and 171, didn't work again so I just maximized its happiness, though I'm not sure if it would've worked earlier.

Although I do agree with your suggestion as I mentioned before, there are often many other things the admins/GEs etc need to consider before implementing a feature. So it's always better to look at things from their perspective as well. For this instance I can think of 2 points that would lead the admins to decline your suggestion. First is that this feature was not included in the official games. I don't think this is a huge factor, however. Secondly, this game has an economy and they need money sinks where possible. With this feature implemented, escape ropes will be used less, which would mean that particular money sink will be less efficient.

I agree completely. Saves us an unnecessary trip to the Pokecenter from places like Seafoam B4F etc.

As long as the Pokemon's ID is known, I don't see any reason for it not to be brought back. Unless the Pokemon is wiped off the database completely of course. "Our mistake/your mistake" shouldn't play any part is the main idea of my post. This is just my opinion of course.

https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=15351 Second spoiler includes abilities as well.

Heatproof does not make a Pokemon immune to fire type attacks. It just halves the damage it takes from them. https://pokemondb.net/ability/heatproof

Staff are probably the ones who want new servers more than anybody else, but it would be wise to think from their perspective as well. They probably cannot afford a new server at this stage and that's not only financial. New server means new staff to watch it, more maintenance duties etc. When they feel that they can afford to add a new server or expand server capacity, they will. Just like they did recently.

That doesn't make my suggestion less worthy. In fact, you're actually helping me with my suggestion. Finding, training (leveling) or raising the money to buy pokes is already taking a considerable amount of time. Why overkill it with EVs too when we can just have Power Items? See that's my other point. EVing and Leveling should not increase the prices 'dramatically'. Of course they should affect the prices of Pokemon but at its current state I believe they affect way too much.
