I've been in the Safari Zone for at least 3 hours now and have only encountered 4 Chancy.. none of which have been caught.

My current "strategy" is to simply throw 1 rock then throw 1 ball. So far 2 Chancy have fled after I threw the rock and the other 2 fled after the ball failed to capture them.

I don't remember it being this hard in Red/Blue ; ;
I can't imagine ever getting a Lucky Egg at this rate.. anyone have any strategy for this Safari Zone Chancy nightmare?

Well, i suggest throwing some bait to get it content in the area its in. Then throw 1-2 rocks then ball. Every time u miss with a ball repeat the process.

From what I understand bait does increase the chance it will stay longer but it also decreases the chances of a Pokeball working, and rocks increase the chance of a Pokeball working but decrease the chance of the Pokemon staying around. I always had the impression that throwing 1 bait then throwing 1 rock would cancel itself out... makeing it useless unless you throw 1 bait then 2 rocks.. which would (theoretically) have the same effect as just throwing 1 rock.

Maybe it doesn't work that way.. guess I'll just have to start using bait and find out.

I think you have a better chance just throwing "safari"balls and not worrying about bait and rocks.

Hey I'm trying to do the math here.. if I have a -5% chance at catching Chancy, and there's a 5% chance that a Chancy will have a Lucky Egg on her, what are my chances at getting a Lucky Egg before I die?

Oh come on, you guys are SO sad. You need to realize something. Even though you are more likely to catch Chansey with a rock to the forehead, Chancey is too peace loving to stay and fight. (Most of the time) What you Ought' to do is throw bait, safari ball, safari ball, bait, safari ball, safari ball, etc. The bait keeps her there and the balls try to capture her. Try holding Select+A+B also, it increases chances sometimes. In order to save Safari 'time' get where Chanser appear, stay in ONE square of grass, and just rotate your P.O.V. That way, time is not lost, and you can stay as long as you can keep in that grass square. GOOD LUCK! Tee hee. ^_^

You should try that, just keep going in a circle. But holding or pressing any buttons while throwing a ball does absolutly nothing.

*checks PokeDex*

According to the Dex, nope. You can't catch Chansey in the Cerulean Cave. I remembered you could back in RBY though.

Pressing buttons while throwing a PokeBall does nothing. It's just psychological effect. Ignore everything Nintendo says about it. I hate NoA anyways. They take Mew and everything out of the game so only those in NY can get them. *snorts*

I caught my Chansey by throwing two rocks (the second one being accidental and nearly killing myself if it ran away), and then a PokeBall. Amazingly it stayed in. Now I have a beautiful Blissey! ^_^

Yeah I agree, the chances are so different that it's best just to keep trying. Personally I use the bait & bait then safarib then bait then safarib... keeps Chansey there longer, but even I haven't caught one yet.. ^^;;

It took me about 4 tries to get it. No Lucky Egg though. I encountered it about 8 times.

I caught a Chancy! Watch out Baalzebul because your home plane just got a little chilly.

And it only took 15-20 Chancy encounters -.- I think the one I caught wanted to be caught though.. it didn't run away while I threw 4 Safari Balls at it. (4th one worked obviously)

Oh yeah, I didn't throw a rock or bait at it, just Balls.

Update: I just checked the Chancy in my box... LUCKY EGG OMGWTFHAHA!!!11!11!!1one!one11

I'm not sure if it was the balls... I think higher powers were at work here.

I probably owe Cthulhu a favor and/or soul now or something. Meh.. it was worth it.

Quote from an email from Nintendo.com(the nintendo gameboy news site)

"New to the catch-'em-all rage? Having trouble catching that elusive wild Pokémon? Then try this trick, pardner. 1. Throw a ball at the Pokémon. Any ball will work, but a more powerful one improves your odds. 2. The instant the ball explodes, press and hold the B Button. 3. Release B when the ball wobbles a second time. This trick isn't foolproof, but it dramatically increases your odds of a successful capture. You don't need to weaken a Pokémon beforehand, but some Pokémon, such as Mewtwo and Zapdos, need to first be put to sleep. "

if anyone wants proof, I will give you a screen shot of the email.

Ive seen that before, I do not believe it, I do not think that pressing any buttons helps any thing, it might raise you confidence on catching it but it does not help any thing.

Hey hey! I didn't really say I beleived it...or well I did. But I didn't CARE about it, I tried it a couple times sure, but other wise i just walked around throwing pokeballs at everything in my path (Yes in some cases I wasn't paying attention and tried to capture trainer's pokemon) It doesn't really matter or not...especially since you can purchase MORE then 99 of one type of item. (Currently has 495 pokeballs) Anyways, if it makes you feel better, then do it, if it doesn't and you hate nintendo for saying it works, then just be quiet and let the beleivers have their joy PLEASE! ^_^
