Chance of wild Paras holding a mushroom

[Celticsteel7]

Hello, this is the information I found so far on wild Pokemon holding an item:

 

General chance: 5%

 

Exceptions:

Porygon: 33% chance of holding Up-Grade

Porygon: 33% chance of holding Choice Scarf

 

I'd like to ask, whether the chance of wild Paras or Parasect holding mushrooms is also 5%. Considering the chance of holding a tiny mushroom being 50% in most of the Nintendo games, this seems pretty low...

So does anyone have facts on this? From what I experienced using Thief in Mt. Moon, the 5% seem to be about right :/

Don't count 50% chance in Nintendo games in MMO as PRO... It will adjust as MMO style. So I think it 5% also

How do u know he's holding one? Can you see it anywhere in combat before capturing them?

Only with the ability Frisk afaik. So if you're only after the items I suggest using Thief or Trick to get them. That should be easier than getting a Pokemon with the right ability, I guess.

You can capture a pokemon like sentret/furret with an ability called frisk which lets you know if the pokemon is holding an item/what item they are holding. If you get the move called covet/thief both moves let you steal the item of the pokemon. Im not sure if thief works at the moment.

It worked for me one time with that Hard Stone (?) Onyx and Geodude sometimes hold.

 

EDIT: That was today or yesterday.

Where is it that you find Porygons? I thought you could only get one in the whole game...

I've found maybe 3 in about 200 paras so it's probably that or I just have bad luck lol. Also Thief and Covet are both working atm so have at it :y:
