To add onto that, having the ability compound eyes in front will make it more likely for the pokemon to appear holding the item =]
Thank you for the advice but I've only got White 2 hence the trading. =/ Someone was kind enough to trade me one though so I'm covered. Take it easy and thanks anyways!
Did you know you can get the Thick Club on Route 13 (B/W only) or on Route 15 (held by wild Marowak 5% of the time, use Thief, or something with Frisk before capturing to make sure it has one)?
