4th Gen Level 4 Staravia?

[Momoko]

Haha I recently started replaying Platinum and after beating Roark, I decided to explore a litte bit in Oreburgh gate and i was just about to leave when I encountered a Golbat that was at lvl 10! I was really surprised and excited so i caught it and told my friend and he told me had caught a lvl 4 Staravia when he first played Diamond.

So im wondering, has this happened to any of you?

BTW, am now the proud owner of a level 22 Crobat xD

 

[machinegun777]

No, that's never happened to me, I've only encountered Zubat there.

 

[Momoko]

Yeah. Im thinking theres a tiny tiny chance that you can catch the evolved form of some pokemon in some parts of the game. Maybe its a programmin error, or maybe they just want to add a variety to wild grass. iunno O_O

 

[Wings Don't Cry]

Nope Golbat is not an error, it is a rare encounter at Oreburgh Gate and have you actually seen your friend's lvl 4 Staravia? I find it hard to believe someone found a legit lvl 4 Staravia.

 

[Momoko]

No, I havent. She just said that she had caught one before O_o
So low level Golbats arent too rare there then?

 

[Wings Don't Cry]

No they aren't, you have a lower chance of finding a Miltank in G/S/C.

 

[Tyrantrum]

Actually, in an off chance that it will happen to you, you can find it in Lake Verity.
It has happened to me once!

I was like, "wtf wut is this i don't even"
So, I just ran from it... XD;

 

[Momoko]

LOL I would have caught it and stored it away as my prized trophy ;D

 

[Greene1516]

Yup there's a 5% chance to find a level 5-10 Golbat while surfing in the Oreburgh Gate.

 

[Momoko]

really? while surfing? I caught it on land O_o

 

[Skip Shot]

There is a 1% chance of catching a level 10 Golbat in the basement floor of the Oreburgh Gate ONLY in Platinum.

 

[Momoko]

LOL wow I feel lucky :]
especially since it was the first pokemon i saw there.
This happen to anybody else? ;D

Didn't happen to me specifically in Platinum, no. However, there is a 1% chance of seeing a level 7 Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest in Yellow. (Probably an anime reference lol). I caught it.

 

[Momoko]

so THATS where Falkner caught it! xD

Wow i always wondered how trainers had underleveled evolved forms of pokemon ;O

any more you know of?

 

[Daimoth]

Not this specifically, but I did see fight/catch a wild Abominasnow before I fought the gym leader who had one as her final pokemon.

 

[Mclena45]

Lol I've caught a lvl4 Staravia... It was funny. I almost killed it >.< Good thing I had my in-training Swinub in my team...

 

[Momoko]

Haha wow. I think im going to try to find one myself now, after Catching that golbat :P

More than this, I feel bad for the trainers near the end of d/p/pt that have level 40+ Magikarp.

 

[HirakuNoShadow]

I found a Golbat in Oreburgh Gate as well, but I just ran away since I had no interest in getting a crobat + Golbats are so common later O:

 

[Inferno1]

YEah i caught the level 4 staravia in diamond and in yellow (im playing again to get used to pika following me) i caught a level 9 pidgeotto in viridian forest
