It makes no difference whether you use Meowth or Zigzagoon.

so then how long does it take someone to usually get 100 rare candies? Anyone have any stories? i'm traveling with 4 lv 41 meowths that i caught at island five, and its been over an over of battling wild pokemon, and i just usually get berries, haven't seen a rare candy yet...
If you want the Rare Candies that bad, search for them in Emerald using a Pokemon at level 100 with the Pick-Up ability. Rare Candies are very common using a level 100 Pokemon since the rarity decreases from rare to common.

Crazy Frogitist: Whether it's a Meowth, Zigzagoon, or whatever doesn't matter. The chances remain the same. Emerald is the only version where the chances will change, and that change is based on the level of the Pokemon not the species.

So in emerald the level is what counts for pickup? Does the area matter? also do you actually have to battle and win, or can you just run away, and still get teh item? also does the pickup pokemon have to be the one to do the KO?

Also does the species of pokemon your battling against /thier level also affect the items?

i've tried the pickup thing in emerald and it works SOO much better than in FireRed, but in my experiences i have to fight and win the battle, it doesn't matter what pokemon you use to battle. I use my meowth so i can level them up and get rare candies more easily. But yeah, that's just i've been seeing.

And for Kabeer's question:

Simon and PokemonChamp are both correct. In R/S/E Zigzagoon/Meowth find more. The PickUp specifics change between the generations. It is harder to PickUp a rare candy in FR/LG than in R/S/E.

I think if u want to get a lot of rare candy, u must bring a lot of linnone, because it has pick up ability. i think linnone has better chance for getting rare candy...

i don't think linnone can pick up rare candies!! :dead:
