Ever cought Yanma without being told?
i was playing Crystal and i saw a Yanma and Bug catcher Arnie never told me it was there so i was wondering has it ever happen to you?
|
Without the swarm prompt, I think I read on Bulbapedia that the chances of seeing a swarming Pokémon is 1%. So it's not impossible, but they are incredibly rare.
|
well im one of the 1 in so many million then
|
Uh, no. Youre one in about a hundred. ;]
|
This is the first time I heard that yanma is aswarming Pokemon. I got so annoyed once, that it kept appearing everywhere. Used up my repels by then, and it was 99, i say you.
|
It happened to me once a very long time ago.
|
i never came across a yanma, but i did find a Marill in a cave before the swarm. I accidentally ran away assuming it would be a geodude. I was so mad after that and I couldn't find another one.
|
I saw one but didn't or couldn't catch it, I came back later wanting one but never saw one again. Don't even know what the swarm trigger is.
|
Nope, never seen one outside a swarm. Same goes for all the other Pokemon that appear only in a swarm. I guess I am not that lucky to see one on accident. :(

Dunsparce is another good example. Its appearance rate in Dark Cave is also 1% when it's not swarming, but I swear when I was EV training in there one time I saw a half dozen of them within 20 minutes or so. The appearance rates etc aren't set in stone, t's all just down to chance. |
I'm pretty sure I caught one while it wasn't swarming, but I'm not 100%. All I remember is thinking "hey, a cute bug".

1/100 = 1% lrn2maths I don't think I've ever caught a Yanma without being told of the swarm. :[ |
Quote:
I don't think i've ever caught a Yanma even when they have been swarming tbh =/ |
Never ever caught one without knowing.
|
never caought one without knowing either
|
when I played through my gold version the first time I spent hours catching all the swarming pokemon not knowing you get catch them in a swarm.
|
Nope, I never caught a yanma without swarm.
|
I can't recall doing so, so I voted no.
|
I've caught a dunsparce outside of a swarm.. but I don't think I've caught any other swarming pokemon.
|
It just happened to me!
Heck, I didn't even have Arnie's phone number registered. |
Those are swarms?
I've never came across the Pokemon that Bug catcher Arnie said will be there, he was such a liar in my game lol :t354:TG |
I recall coming across plenty of Yanma without being told there was a swarm. I didn't realize they were that rare.
|
I never found a Yanma that way, but I did find a Marill like that once.
Of course, I didn't have any Pokeballs and had to settle for taking my frustration out on it's squishy blue roundness, but I did come across one. >_>" |
wow thats pretty cool way to go. Thats never happened to me though... :( oh well ill keep looking
|
Found one, never caught it though. I killed it for the EXP, I don't really care about filling the Pokedex.
