Bug Catching Contest
 

i know there's one on gsc but hey hg/ss has new and better graphics XP

At the G/S remakes, we have the bug catching contest which is obvious because i'm amazing.

• Who is your most valuable Pokémon from the bug catching contest?
• Who was your latest capture?
• Have you ever had a stupid moment at the contest? (e.g a pinsir losing to a caterpie)

I always thought the contest was quite hard, since I only recently found out that the life the pokemon has when you catch it plays a role :(. I always try catching scythers, give enough points imo.

• Who is your most valuable Pokémon from the bug catching contest?
Well in Pokemon Silver, I caught a shiny caterpie but my most valuable Pokemon is a Pinsir in Pokemon Soul Silver

• Who was your latest capture?
A Pinsir lol

• Have you ever had a stupid moment at the contest? (e.g a pinsir losing to a caterpie)
Yes I have, I dont see how a caterpie can beat a Scyther, it makes no sense whatssoever.

A Scyther, if I recall correctly.

• Who was your latest capture?

Beedrill.

Oh my god yes, I really wish they hadn't changed the mechanics so that your catches got judged by their health remaining, getting trolled by Cooltrainer Nick in GSC was bad enough.

You never seem to win no matter who you catch, I always go for Scyther, Buttefree, Beedrill or Pinsir yet still end up coming 2nd, 3rd or maybe lower :x

My most valuble was a shiny beedrill (my first legit shiny :D) in HG

Of course that thing lost to a paras...

But the most annoying thing ever...is when my scyther at Max HP (i hacked master ball into the thing) lost to a caterpie. The game is hacked.

• Who is your most valuable Pokémon from the bug catching contest?
Scyther I believe. Rather cliché indeed, but they do seem to be rather rare in the Bug Catching contest, and was indeed a high-level. I never used her for combat afterwards, but it was still a worthwhile capture.

• Who was your latest capture?
Venonat if I remember correctly. Unlike Scyther who was quickly shipped off to the PC, Venonat became a solid member of my team, armed with moves such as Stunspore and Poisonpowder.

• Have you ever had a stupid moment at the contest? (e.g a pinsir losing to a caterpie)
Not on Soul Silver, although there were plenty of instances back when playing Silver, such as a Pinsir losing to a Caterpie, etcetera etcetera.

- Beedrill

- My Beedrill got third, losing to a Metapod, and I think Venonat. Didn't realize health affected the score. :3

• Who is your most valuable Pokémon from the bug catching contest? Pinsir and Scyther
• Who was your latest capture? Don't remember, but I think it was Beautifly. On top of that I won as well.
• Have you ever had a stupid moment at the contest? (e.g a pinsir losing to a caterpie) Caterpie beating a Scyther or something.

Most valuable Pokemon caught in the contest: Scyther and Pinsir

Latest Pokemon caught: Pinsir

Stupid moments: none, other than the fact that Pinsier and Scyther kept breaking out of the Park Balls, if that counts.
