That's one way to think about it. A very technical way, but plausible nevertheless.

I always looked at Audino as the Fifth Gen Chansey like CWTAP said above me. It's uncommon in terms of not showing up like a normal Pokémon would, but it's very common in terms of what you'll find in a shaking patch of grass. Add in the fact that it gives away a lot of Exp. Points for your Pokémon, it was just a way of making training and leveling up your team a little less easy.

I like your theory a lot better though. Also, the point made where they're shy Pokémon. Makes the thought of finding them more interesting I guess.

Audino are very common to me. I run into then too often.

It's not rare. It's easy to make a spot appear and it's almost always going to be found when you walk in it.

It's just a gimmick Pokemon for the new encounter method, like Plusle and Minun were for double battles.

That pink on Audino is a giant sunburn, BTW. XD

Seriously though, if a Pokemon species was hunted for EXP points by trainers everywhere, it would be inclined to hide from them. Hence, they're harder to find for the average trainer. That's what happens with Audino.

Of course, if they were as common as Zubat, it would be way too easy to level up Pokemon and the game would instantly become too easy.

Because if they were common, it would be much quicker & easier to train, that's why their EXP rate is so high, because they are rare/uncommon.

I think that Audino just makes a lot of noise whenever it moves, which brings the trainer's attention to it. I don't think it is albino, Game Freak just needed a pokemon to be the "shaking grass" thing, and they used audino's noisyness and klutzyness to explain why the grass shakes with it.

It's clear that as to the gaming reason they're rare is because of the massive amounts of EXP they give. But the question is, are they rare because they give out lots of EXP? Or do they give out lots of EXP because they're rare? Think about that.

As to the in-game reason, they're probably hunted for their use in Pokemon Centers, and the increase in the strength of Pokemon who defeat them, they probably learned to hide from trainers, but occasionally made noise when they got scare or something.

I never knew it was rare, just uncommon. I started playing Black again yesterday started off from new and have seen Audino 3 times already and caught it once. Is Audino worth leveling up?

Your post isn't really adding to theories as to why it's "uncommon" then. :x But every Pokemon can be worth levelling up - Audino is pretty good for HP, so if you want a Pokemon with high HP (and it can apparently learn toxic & protect + substitute then rest to restore that HP if you sorta wanna stall in-game..) But really, this sorta question would be best suited Quick Questions where people can give you proper answers.

Also maybe Audino tastes good and is something the people in Unova enjoy eating, which as a result means people hunt it down, so that's why it hides away. Yeeaah that's totally a logical theory though the first post makes the most sense lool.

To me they're not very rare at all. You can easily run up and down a path within a close range of grass and wait for a shaking patch to appear. It doesn't take very long for a shaking patch of grass to appear either, especially since you don't have other wild Pokémon to stop you along the way as long as you are on the route or use a repel if needed. Audino sure do help when grinding though, and I think only being able to find them through shaking patches of grass simply makes the job of gaining exp easier, seeing as there are only a couple of Pokémon from the shaking grass; Audino being the very common one out of all. So no, I don't think Audino is very rare at all in this case.

And if anything, just like several others pointed out, it's probably been made "rare" because of its cause of helping out the process in gaining EXP.

They hide because they know...

Honestly, my theory is that they watch us from a distance, and when they think we've been walking around enough, they're like, "Oh, you must be so tired! Come over here and maybe we'll heal you!" So you go over, and they either heal you, or they become startled by your Pokemon and try to defend themselves by slapping them.

I want to train one eventually, they're kinda cute.

Audino isn't even that rare IMO. If I think it's rare, it's probably because they want to hide from trainers that hunt them for profit, or "forced" to work as Nurse Joy's assistants.

I would be the minority that would saw that Audino probably isn't all that rare, to be completely honest. I've stumbled across my fair share of lv 50 or so Audinos, I just sit there and let my game idle for a bit and then the grass would start shaking, it's not that difficult :x

Though to be honest, I'd be pretty rare too if all trainers cared about was hunting me for my experience. Trainers just don't have any heart these days, all they care about is grinding is grinding.

Sheesh.

I didn't think Audino was that rare.
I caught about 23 Audinos in a week.
Yes, i also wondered why they get Quick EXP.
In one day--i caught a Lvl. 10 Audino and made to lvl. 34 till midnight.

I find them all the time! If they were hard to find I'd say besause their the new Chansey. They replaced chansey at the poke centers in the anime :(

I thought his name was from Audio, since it is a hearing Pokémon, and the curled extensions of its ears resemble earphones, also the way Audino holds them. But like others said, I think it's just for the EXP, and it's a replacement for Chansey. (I like Chansey 100 times better though)

Personally, I don't find Audino to be rare.
True, they're considered rare, to an extent, but if I look for one in ten minutes, by the means of rustling grass, I could find five or six of them. I see them as a way for Trianers to get a quick boost of EXP when they're struggling to continue in their adventure. I really like your evolutionary theory @ThreadOwner.

Also, in the Anime they're taking Chansey's place, but they're not the 'new Chansey'. The stats hardly match up, HP, DEF, ect. Only similarities for that is it takes on the role of Chansey until you unlock the National Dex.

Probably as a make-the-game-harder-and-thus-more-fun measure. Game Freak knew you'd want a good method to train, so they made it so Audino gave out large amounts of experience. But, to make it harder (and thus more fun) they made it elusive.

Call me a nerd, but that's my theory.

Audino isn't really super rare to me because I always find them in shaking grass but I think it's because you have white version because if you have white version it will be hard to find and black wouldn't be rare.

They could be having sexual intercourse in the shaking grass, that explains why Audinos are hunted so often yet aren't extinct.

Just because I was viewing it doesn't mean it was an active thread. :x Or if you found this on your own that would be a pretty big coincidence.

Either way since this hasn't been posted in for over a month it needs to be locked. You can remake it though if you want!
