Level 4 Staravia?
 
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 July 18th, 2009 3:35 PM

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

Momoko July 18th, 2009 3:37 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 4:26 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 4:35 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 4:37 PM

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

Tyrantrum July 18th, 2009 4:37 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 4:43 PM

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

Greene1516 July 18th, 2009 4:44 PM

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

Momoko July 18th, 2009 4:45 PM

really? while surfing? I caught it on land O_o

Skip Shot July 18th, 2009 4:56 PM

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

Momoko July 18th, 2009 5:02 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 5:08 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 5:15 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 5:24 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 5:25 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 5:29 PM

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 July 18th, 2009 5:39 PM

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

Yeah I got one here i was really surprised

Mattysaurus July 18th, 2009 6:47 PM

If you have FR/LG or Emerald in the GBA slot then there is a 4% chance to find LV 4 Bibarel and LV 4 Staravia at Lake Verity in D/P only.

xxxLatiasxxx July 18th, 2009 8:08 PM

Nope something like that has never happened to me.

Pokeplup July 18th, 2009 9:49 PM

I First Encountered A Level 10 Golbat In Platinum Too, But I've Never
Met A Level 4 Staravia.

Momoko July 18th, 2009 11:27 PM

Haha yeah, im going to search for one a bit later in the game.

groudonlover July 19th, 2009 4:16 AM

If you insert any Pokémon Advanced GamePak into the GBA Slot, you can find ~lvl 20 Gengar in Old Chateau, in the room with the eyes on a Painting, with 8% Encounter Rate :)
They are normally Gastly at that level!

In yellow i've caught a Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest too :)

chelly1107 July 19th, 2009 4:39 AM

I found a Bibarel less than level 10. I always thought it was weird.

Ayselipera July 19th, 2009 7:49 AM

That Staravia reminds me of when you could find Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest at level 9 or whatever.

Zero Avenged July 19th, 2009 7:51 AM

ahh don't we all just level under level pokemon....they are just even freakier freaks of nature!

FreakyLocz14 July 19th, 2009 9:48 AM

So your friend most likely was Dongling when they encountered the Staravia.

Anxiety. July 19th, 2009 10:02 AM

Aha! That's hardcore.
I haven't found any, I don't think so anyway.

And it does annoy me when I see under leveled evolved forms of Pokemon, it confuses me.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ July 31st, 2009 2:16 PM

I thought the level 4 Staravia was fake until I looked on serebii where it says you have a 4% chance of catching one at one of the lakes and I have encounter a lv 10 Golbat but I thought my game was glitched so I shut if off to give it an hour break


:t354:TG

Silhouette July 31st, 2009 2:22 PM

I've heard of the lv4 Staravia one. I also caught a lv4 Furret in G/S on Route 1 before...

YanmegaLv55 July 31st, 2009 7:22 PM

I caught a Lv 20 Golbat. In the Lost tower.
I dont know if its rare.

LinK93 August 1st, 2009 5:25 AM

well for those ones who played yellow and silver/gold/cristal

in pokemon yellow there was a pidgeotto at level 9 in the forest and in the gsc series the first gim leader had a level 9 pidgeotto aswell so its uncomun but its not impossible

jolteon. August 1st, 2009 9:24 AM

There's a way to get a level 3 electrode in firered. Catch a pikachu in Viridian Forest, evolve it to Raichu and trade it with some old man at Cinnabar island.

Skull Kid August 1st, 2009 2:44 PM

Found a lv. 15 gyradose in fire red. Magikarps don't evolve untill lv. 20. O.o

They're rare, but not too rare.


As I recall, you could catch low level Gyarados at the Lake of Rage in GSC...

Yeah, this thread reminded me of a lv.12 Gyarados I saw at lake of rage.

Pave Low August 2nd, 2009 6:20 AM

I found a lv.5 Graveler in orebrough mine

red fraction August 2nd, 2009 9:15 AM

One day I was walking in the Eterna Forest and I came across a Beautifly. 1% chance.

Oh man, you are so lucky!

Sydian August 2nd, 2009 8:10 PM

I haven't ran into this kind of predicament, however, my first file on Sapphire, I chose Torchic and Brendan's Mudkip had Water Gun on level 5. Later on, my Pelipper was allowed to learn Dive. I just think my game was messed up, though.

ClassicRockFan August 2nd, 2009 8:20 PM

Yeah, I caught the Golbat at LV 10. I've had this happen to me with the Staravia and Bibarel at LV 4 at Lake Verity with the Pokeradar, but chaining them is hard IMO.

Leader Soulja Boy August 3rd, 2009 12:20 AM

I don't know about the Starvia but there's level 10 Golbat in the basement of Oreburg Gate

ALC_Allstar August 3rd, 2009 1:03 AM

Yeah. In fact I actually read this thread then went to the orbeurge gate to catch a golbat too. It worked.

Blue_Drifblim August 3rd, 2009 6:25 AM

That's cool...

I need something like that to happen to me. -_-

xxChazxx August 3rd, 2009 7:03 AM

Just earlier this morning, I ran into a Lv. 10 Golbat also. And after that, I ran into a Lv. 14 Dustox in Eterna Forrest along with a few Beautiflies. I have never seen Lv. 4 Staravia though...

Kakex August 4th, 2009 3:02 AM

Well, having alakazam right after first gym is almost same thing but not even close O_o
