So i've been trying to farm pikachus for a light ball at viridian forest and the power plant. I know it's easier for them to spawn at the power plant but they only seem to have oran berries. Do they still have a chance of holding a light ball or do they only hold the oran berries?

i farmed more than 10 pika with no compund eyes in viridan, and no ball. Then got a compound eye pokemon with thief (butterfree) and killed more than 30 pikachu with thief, and still not a light ball, always in Viridan.

 

In the power plant i just got 3 or 4 berry.

Then i was pissed off and bought 1 light ball for 20k.

 

A guy on the forum said that static should work (imho is not working [artificial difficulty yay])

Imho Compound eye don't work either, but not sure about that.

 

Outside of battle

 

From Pokémon Emerald onward, if a Pokémon with Static is leading the party, then there is a 50% chance the game will force an encounter with an Electric-type Pokémon, if one is possible.[/quote2]

 

my testing

1. Compound eyes doesnt work outside of battle. Also will never work outside of battle.

2. Pikachus in Power plant just have berries, no light ball.

3. The drop rate of a pikachu with light ball should be around 5%. So 1 out of 20 should hold the light ball. Maybe its a bit better. It seems to varies the more rare the poke is.

All is correct except I'm pretty sure that's not how encounter rates work. I think in every encounter you have a 5% chance - not cumulative. So, you could hunt 80 Pika and not see one thus 1 out of 20 should have it is incorrect.
