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.

well im one of the 1 in so many million then
lol, nope. The rate for them when they're not swarming is 1%. So for example if you're battling in a cave and Yanma's appearance rate is 1%, you'll see roughly 1 Yanma in every 500 Pokémon you fight.

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.

1/500 = 0.2%
1/100 = 1%

I don't think I've ever caught a Yanma without being told of the swarm. :[

LOLwoops, my original message said 1 in every 100 but I edited it. Poorly.

I don't think i've ever caught a Yanma even when they have been swarming tbh =/

It just happened to me!

Heck, I didn't even have Arnie's phone number registered.

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. >_>"

Found one, never caught it though. I killed it for the EXP, I don't really care about filling the Pokedex.
