Is it worth repeling gible and beldum?

[Justlegend]

Hello everyone! Recently I got this idea - to find out is it worth using repel trick to hunt gible and beldum (these 2 mons because, as we all know summer event is out, and repel trick is available for them).

I will share results of this small research, but keep in mind I am here to help You to understand for Yourself , and not tell You directly YES or NO . I have spent 1000 super repels on both places.

 

First 3 spreadsheets are my results, last spreadsheet - reults from @06ottoman94 . Special thanks to him! There is such thing as RNG or "luck" as some people call it ... If you look you can see sometimes i get way more "lucky" with 100 repels than in other cases. Few more details - I've invested in this research 1m (2k super repels) + 270k (300 ultra balls) ; time to spend 1 super repel = ~27 seconds (if no encounter), this means I've spent at least 54000 seconds (15 hours) + time to catch every mon.

I've decided to test beldum spawn first , and let's take a look at results :

Beldum

- max amount of beldums /100 repels = 10

- avg(average) repels per beldum =~15

- ultra balls per beldum =~5,5 ( I haven't include this info in form of spreadsheet, sorry about that)

Beldum hunt conclusion : In order not to loose any money , or even gain profit I will need to sell each beldum for at least 14,7k Pd (15x500 (super repel price) + 6x1200 (ultra ball price)).

 

 

Gible (I decided to keep track of few additional things such as % of successful syncs and % of h.a. gibles WITH BLK Medalion)

- max amount of gibles /100 repels = 13

- avg repels per gible ~17

- % of successfully synced gibles ~61%

- % of h.a. gibles (with bms) ~30,5%

- pokeballs required to catch gible 1-4 (I will make it avg 2, just to simplify calculation)

Gible hunt conclusion : If I don't want to loose any money, I will need to sell each gible for at least 8900Pd (17x500 + 2x200)

 

Now let's take a look at info from 06ottoman94 - from his results u can see he need way less repels to encounter gible (~11,5) but his sync rates are lower (41%) and % of h.a. gibles is also lower (23,5%) (yes, he also have his bms active). From this info conclusion I can make is - 06ottoman94 needs to sell each gible for at least 6400k.

 

Other thoughts :

- If You can afford buying repels you definitely should do this because repel trick maximizes Your chance to encounter special form of gible or beldum (summer or even shiny).

- If You do excavations and dig this is great way to cover part of Your losses, or not if You make profit ...

- I was enjoying while doing this research and I will definitely do more in the future.

 

If You see mistake in my calculations - let me know about it down in comments.

I hope this info was useful, good luck and bye!

Really cool and thoughtful research! I'd like to see more of this in the future :)

Some interesting data and nice insights on the newly added repel hunts. Would also like to see more of this in the future.

This is amazing, thank you for sharing this.. I personally refuse to repel Gible because the very few times I tried I had used a ton of resources and immediately felt like it was rigged. It is no doubt the most difficult and time consuming poke to catch yourself in the wild. Great work, I too would love to see more posts like this!!
