hello :)
I apologise if I am posting this in the wrong place.

However, I am attempting to catch a mewtwo [Soul Silver] with a good nature (I am willing to compromise to anything that lowers ATK).
But, whenever i successfully catch the Mewtwo, it ends up with a Neutral nature, such as quirky, docile etc.

I have caught it 8 times now, each time with the same results. always a neutral nature, and never restricted to any one.
Is there some reason for this, or am I completely being stupid and missing something?
You can delete this thread as appropriate :D


NB: This has nothing to do with synchronize, I believe, as my lead is Xatu with the early bird ability.

You've just been unlucky so far.

Just keep at it. =)

Personally, I'd use something with the Synchronize ability in the front of your party, just so you have an increased likelihood of getting your preferred nature.

If you still want your Early Bird Xatu to be your lead Pokemon, just have your Pokemon with Synchronize faint. Put that fainted Synchronize Pokemon in your party's lead slot, and put your Early Bird Xatu in your party's second slot. This way, when you're battling Mewtwo, you can still use Synchronize's beneficial "same Nature" effect while still having your Xatu as the Pokemon that is first sent out in battle. Synchronize's overworld effect still activates even if the Pokemon with Synchronize has fainted - the only condition is that the Pokemon with Synchronize must be in front, whether it has fainted or it is still capable for battle.

Hope this helps. :)

P.S. You'll probably want to go on a Natu-catching spree, in order to catch a Natu that has Synchronize and also has one of the Natures you want.

As said, it is merely a matter of luck. (Curiously, I believe there are 5 neutral natures out of 25 so it's a 1/5 chance each time and if I'm using a 'binomial expansion' right (it's not as simple as doing 1/5*1/5...) you've got something like ~6.2% for such an event to happen so it's not actually _that_ unlikely. What can I say, I am in a stats mood =p).

If you have any other questions, please ask them in the Help thread sticky at the top of the section. Closed.
