I never realised how much of a pain the Kecleon Shops in the dungeons can be. I normally don't run into them, so I don't notice it. Anyway, I was in Crystal Cave on PMD2 and ran into one. I picked up a Black Gummi then checked my money and thought I could buy it, but couldn't since he said I didn't have enough money. So, I put it back and was leaving, but then he offered me 50 for the item I put down and I said no...then he said it costed 800 and he asked if I'd pay for it. I said yes by accident then he said "You don't have enough money! THIEF OMGOMGOMG!!!11!!11'1" and killed me.

That's bad marketing. Any similar experiences?

Yes, in PMD1 [Haven't tried to do it in PMD2] but I beat him and got him to join my team. That is the only way to get Kecleon on your team. Your best bet is to run, but he will call more Kecleons to attack you. You will be safe on teh next floor. He is really tough. It took me about 8 reviver seeds to beat him.

I stepped. On an Explosion trap. Which was right next to the Kecleon shop. It destroyed. Some of the items :[

I swear I thought I'd die from it. But I didn't :B I even KOed a Kecleon. And my Pokemon were still first stage. And in their 40s or something.

Also, Kecleon shouldn't have evolutionary items out when someone can just use a Trawl Orb to get them XD Or Trawl Orb shouldn't be able to take Kecleon's items at all.

THe orb makes it more fun. I remember my friends in I would take turns trying to steal the items, then save each other. The hardest time is when you are running from Kecleon and step in a mounster house.

Kecleon is the TRUE final boss of the game! At one point, I used a Trawl Orb I found randomly in the Zero Isles for no reason, and I snagged a bunch of gummies and a Cornet Rock. Suddenly, off in the distance, I heard a high-pitched voice shout "Stop, thief!"

Oh no.

I frantically ran, looking for the exit, when the first of the brutes arrived, and attacked my partners! The blows were relentless, and all 4 of my reviver seeds were all but gone. After watching in horror as the foul creature shredded my teammates into pieces with cold-blooded malice, I knew what I had to do.


Porygon-Z used the One-Shot Orb!
Kecleon took calamitous damage!
Luckily, I fell into a pitfall after that, saving me from the onslaught of that mad man's forces...

Or at least I wished it happened that way, instead, what really happened:

Porygon-Z used the One-Shot Orb!
The attack missed!
Kecleon attacked!
The attack did 56 damage!
Porygon-Z attempted to run away!
You fell into the Pit-Fall Trap!
Porygon-Z took 10 damage!
Porygon-Z fainted!
Good luck finding someone willing to rescue you!
...Yea.

I remember I used to go crazy whenever a hoard of Kecleons attacked me. >:[

In PMD1, I was Espeon and looking for Eevees. I recruited some and saw a Kecleon shop, stole everything. It took me a lot of tries to get away, but the freaking chameleons didn't want to stop.

Eventually I reached the staircase and was so relieved that I was out of that situation. XD;

Really? I was able to steal from them and I failed only twice out of about ten tries.

From PMD Sky:
Trawl Orb besides the stairs, Kecleon reached me before I could get away, I used Stun Seed on him. Then Pikachu used Discharge. Then Kecleon missed. Twice. On my Sheimi (Sky Forme) whose evasiveness was lowered. I made off with 2 Link Boxes and a few Reviver Seeds and one Blue Gummi. And Poke. (Good, huh?)

From PMD Original:
Mobile Scarf, Huge Apples, and if the carpet is beside a wall.

From PMD2:
I steal, I run to the stairs (2 rooms down), get in a "Monster House"... filled with Kecleons. I use Spurn Orb and go to the stairs in that room.

Huh that's what you call a bad luck xD

I sometimes also steal the merchandise with Trawl Orb... I once did it in PMD Sky in Southeastern Archipelago with my 100lv Lucario and it was epic battle xD But I was able to crush him :D But he really is pain in ass... I had an idea of recruiting him but since my 100levels are only Lucario and Infernape I can't recruit him because they don't have Fast Friend IQ Skill.

Oh. I always have over 10,000 money and so I'm protected from stealing.
It doesn't depend on money :)
I had like 12,000 and I stole 4 Golden Bows just for fun (and money xD)

I once tried stealing from a Kecleon in the original PMD. My plan was to steal the stuff and quickly use an Escape orb to escape completely. I failed: the Kecleons used their superpowers to prevent the usage of that orb (or something like that :P)! Well, needless to say I was wiped out.

Recently, in PMD2, I had just been in a Kecleon shop but hadn't bought anything when I stepped in an explosion trap. Well, what a pain, but at least it didn't kill me, I thought. Then suddenly, one of my teammembers fainted! I was all "what just happened?" I realized too late: the Kecleon was attacking my Pokemon! The trap must had hurt it as well and it went on rampage. It wiped my whole team out with just couple of regular attacks. That taught me to never mess with Kecleons, even by accident.

I guess rather then because of being hurt he went on rampage because of his items which were destroyed by that Explosion Trap. :)

By the way since we have thread for it here, had anyone actually recruited Kecleon?
