4th Gen Will you be catching any of the Surfing- or Flying-Pikachu in the Yellow Forest?

[Wiesner]

Yeah I've been waiting too, pretty gutting, I suppose it's an excuse to go out and get my steps though! I wonder what time it'll all turn out to work...

THE YELLOW FOREST MYSTERY GIFT IS NOW ACTIVE!

 

[PokéManiac Larry]

HAHA that'd be sooo cute.

does anyone know if you have to take a certain amount of steps in the DAY to get the special pikas, or just the overall number of steps you have taken since getting your pokewalker?

e.g. say if u needed to walk 9000 steps to find a flying/surfing pika. do those 9000 steps have to be walked in the same day as you catch the special pika or can the steps be what u walked overall (since u got ur pokewalker)

lol hopefully someone gets my question

and imma get VT, surfy, and flying pikas n___n

It's how many steps you've taken that day. It takes 10000 steps to unlock the special Pickachus. It's not too hard to get steps, just walk around for an hour outside. The good part is once you've taken those steps you've unlocked the Pickachus for that day. So you can return from the stroll and go back on it or whatever you want and they'll still be unlocked. You'll just need to get watts.

PokeWalker Yellow Forest Route

The Pokemon Yellow Forest Route is now available through Mystery Gift. Here's how you can get it.

1. Start up Your Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver game
2. Go to Mystery Gift
3. Go to Receive Gift
4. Go to Via Wi-Fi Connection
5. You should now have received the Yellow Forest Route
6. Go into the game, and go to the nearest Pokemon Mart
7. Talk to the man in the green suit
8. SAVE (This is important)

Now, when you go to select the PokeWalker Route to go on, you should be able to choose Yellow Forest.

How do you know if you have found the flying pikachu

How do you know if you have found the flying pikachu

Transfer it to your game and look at it's moveset.

 

[Buh]

When you check the long grass for a pokemon, you get one, two or three exclamation marks.
!!! exclamation marks means you have the flying OR surfing pikachu.
(!! has a small chance of being surfing/flying, but a larger chance of having volt tackle or no special moves. It's impossible to actually tell).

Only one - flying or surfing - will appear each time you stroll. If you don't reset the course, every !!! will be the same as the first one you find.

After you catch your first !!! pikachu, choose 'receive gift' instead of 'return from stroll'. The pikachu will end up in your PC when you check it, but you'll still be on the stroll. You can decide from there whether to stay on the same course and catch more of the same, or reset the course to find the other one.

Yeah, I hope to get the route, but I somehow doubt it.
It would be pretty cool though to get a Pikachu that knows Surf or Fly.

 

[Buh]

No worries. Glad I could help :)
Woot! I just got a surfing Pikachu! It took me about 200 watts to catch - and I sucesfully caught the first one that appeared. Only about 1 in 20 is a surfing/flying pikachu. Even so, you should be able to get one of each within a day's walking without having to do anything special.

 

[billios]

i was so close to catching a !!! pikachu! i hate this! RAWR!

 

[lamby101]

Surfing I think, I see the water type move as more use to a Pikachu or Riachu than fly would be....

 

[Nichola]

I got a Pikachu from the route. Waiting until my DS is charged before I transfer it over.

 

[Kikaito plush]

We just got the route, now time to hunt ffor these pikas

 

[.тαмєя]

Well just downloaded it and so far I got 4 Pikachu's holding Tiny Mushrooms with Thunder!
I'm not giving up until I get a Surfing Or Flying One!

How do you reset the course?

Eh, I got it. Planning on getting more Watts later today.

 

[Dapeacefulman]

i got the route and now have 2 pikas i hope they can fly i really do ^^

 

[Buh]

To reset the course, go to another course like Refreshing Field for like 2 seconds, then back to the Yellow Forest.
