Guide to Recruiting legends and boosting recruit rate chances.

Some Requirements before hand:


1. Friend Area. HAVE THE FLAMING FRIEND AREA to recruit unless it is an automatic friend area.

2. Size: Ooh. I hate the size of teams. Yeah, the maximum size in your team is 6. Exmaple: Trying to recruit Rayquaza. You may have up to 2 star size in your team to have a chance to recruit. If you happen to exceed, NO CHANCE. Got it?

3. Story Mode Completion: Certain pokemon require you to defeat Rayquaza at Sky Tower and the ending credits. REMEMBER THAT.

4. Leader: It does the stuff. Yeah.

Increasing Your Chances:


The higher the leader's level pokemon, the higher your chance is to recruit. Ooh, SO useful for stuff like Groudon.

Level Increase Chances:

Level 1- 29 = 0.0%
Level 30- 39 = 5.0%
Level 40- 49 = 7.5%
Level 50- 59 = 10.0%
Level 60- 69 = 12.5%
Level 70- 79 = 15.0%
Level 80- 89 = 17.5%
Level 90-100 = 24.0%

Friend Bow: A rare item which increases the chance of recruiting a pokemon by 10%. Found at Mt. Faraway 30F, Key is required.

Actually you can get this info on Serebii.net
And GameFAQs, but neither of those really matter, since they aren't HERE.
