If I can get my wi-fi working, I'll get a surfing and flying pikachu for the lulz.
But I won't use them in battle, obviously. Surfing garbage is still garbage.

I think I'm going to get them both for the lulz. Though like what the person said above, a Surfing Pikachu can help with those ground types. XD Not going to put one on my team, though. -already has her Amazing Ampharos on her team, yayz~-

Even when the event is off of wifi as long as you downloaded it you can still access it. Right? If so I plan to try to catch all of the Pikachu there.

I'm going for the flying Pikachu, but I can't find one anywhere. I've found so-far, 3 surfing, 4 volt tackle, 5 flail, and a few of the regular between my two pokewalker's I'll be trading all but one of each I think.

UGH.
*HEAD-DESK*
I HAD one... It as a !!! over a patch of grass. That pretty much HAS to be a group A Pokemon, which, in this case is either a Surfer or a Flier...
AND THEN IT FLED.

Caught myself a flyer. Finally! I gave myself a hug and rubbed it in my friend's face.

I do actually walk too, but when I'm at home, I'll just leave the walker on a fan, tiny vibrations are enough to set it off.

It's pretty simple, ii's are either group A or B, iii's are group A, i are obviously group C.

Group A can either be a surfing or a flying pikachu, group B can be a volt tackle or a flail pikachu. Get to 5k steps, catch a ii pikachu, send it through gift to DS, and see what it is, or get to 10k, catch a couple of iiis and send it through gift.

As far as I've experienced, when you send your pokemon to DS through gift, it doesn't reset your choice. When you go out on a stroll, the system automatically picks 1 pokemon from group A, one from group B, and one from group C. That means until you come back from a stroll and go back out, you're stuck with the one the game assigned to you.

So like I said, get to 5k steps, send to ds through gift. See if it's a volt tackle one. Get to 10k, send to ds through gift, see which one it is. When you get the one you want, don't end the stroll until you get like 3.

When you get the 5k, or 10k, and are going to send to ds, it resets your watts. So becareful if that's a big deal to you.

Also the more steps the more likely to have iis and iiis, at 40k (what I usually have after either a night on the fan or a day walking), I get one like every other minute.

When you get a i, or a ii you don't want. Just keep mashing evade, it let's you finish the battle quickly.

Good luck! :)

I will try to catch the Flying or Surfing Pikachu as they bring back nostalgic memories of the Pokemon Yellow introduction.
It will be very difficult to find though but, I'm gonna keep of trying!

Also, good luck to other who are also trying!

^_^

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can all the surfing Pikachu's are female and the flying ones are male...

EDIT: Just found something that might confirm this for you http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Yellow_Forest

WOOP WOOP WOOP!!!!!

After 6 hours of training I managed to catch a Surfing Pikachu :D

I caught the flying one after about 4 hours, and then the Surfing and Volt Tackle Pikachu's in consecutive 'battles' after taking 25,733 steps.... at least I can get back to the game now and not worry about the steps resetting at midnight :)

Congrats on everyone pikachus!! I'm still trying to see a "!!!" come up, but no luck so far.


ok, I still have yet to find a "!!!" but I just caught a volt tackle and Fly pikachu just from the "!!". So I guess there is a chance to find Fly and surf with "!!". :)

I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

so I think I've figured it out, after getting a flying pikachu for both my gold and silver games, that if you have found a surf pikachu on the route you're on, you have to reset the route by sending your pokemon back and then collect some more watts. Finding a !!! or !! just takes time and I think they show up more often if you have a few hundred watts and you keep running from anything that isn't one of those,

Could anyone spare a Surfer and/or Flyer Pikachu for me to have? Been searching for days, all I found was a Volt Tackle one.

Last night I was bored and checked for Wi-Fi events and found The Yellow Forest by accident. Since finding out about Surf and Fly Pikachu, I've decided to try to get them. I hope to get them both by tonight. I'm at 6000 steps without even going outside.
