Raederz Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 NoFailHunter Guide Hunting Tools A lot of people already encountered a shiny. And, some of them are sad, because they failed their catching. I will give you all the tools you need to be able to catch a pokemon, regardless of his type, capacity, moves, ... So, let's see a list of pokemon, and moveset, for every kind of difficulties you can face. Catching No-Ghost Pokemon with no dangerous move Spoiler Smeargle Level 100 IV : No matter, level 100 stats enought for wild poke. Nature : No -Atk nature is better, but no really matter. EV : 252 Attack / 252 Speed - False Swipe - Spore - T-wave / Yawn (For plant types) - [...] Pros : Smeargle is really easy to do, easy to level up, and you can still change his moveset using mushrooms if you dont want it anymore. One bonus move slot, for sweet scent, dig, or anything you want. Cons : Bad stats, but most of the time enought for wild pokemons. Farfetch'd Level 100 IV : No matter, level 100 stats enought for wild poke. Nature : No -Atk or -Speed nature is better, but no really matter. EV : 252 Attack / 252 Speed - Flase Swipe - Yawn - Fly - Cut Pros : Better stats than Smeargle, Fly/Cut if you dont have another HM slave. And Farfetch'd is cool. Cons : No access to Spore.

EV : 252 Attak/Speed, the only stats that matter for Shedinja. - False Swipe - [...] Pros : The only ghost-type false swiper. Cons : No status move Wich Ball to Use Catch Rate Spoiler Each pokemon has his own catch rate. The catch rate defines, by a number between 3-255, how hard it will be to catch the pokemon. 3 being the hardest catchable pokemon, and 255, an easy to catch pokemon. Remember that on PokeMMO, some rates can be a bit different than the official ones. Nothing is said about it, but we can clearly see somethimes that some catches are easier/harder. You can consider that the pokemon with 180 and above, make it 1HP is enought to catch it. But you still must try some catches before beggining a shiny hunting. Under this catch rate, you will need some "Catch Rate Multiplier" There is two way to multiply the catch rate. The Pokeballs, and the Status. Status Spoiler Here are the multiplier given by each status : Freeze : 2 Sleep : 2 Paralysis : 1,5 Poison : 1,5 Burn : 1,5 If you are against a Pokemon with a 90 catch rate, make it asleep, and 1hp will be se same as a 180 catch rate with 1hp. Pokeballs Spoiler Here are the multipliers given by each balls : Poke Ball : 1 Premier Ball : 1 Luxury Ball : 1 Great Ball : 1,5 Ultra Ball : 2 Net Ball : 3 (only on water-types and bug-types) Repeat Ball : 3 (only on already caught pokemons) Dive Ball : 4 (only when the battle is underwater) Nest Ball : 3 (for level 1-19 Pokemons) / 2 (for level 20-29 Pokemons) / 1 (for level 30+ Pokemons) Timer Ball : 4 (when battle started 30+ turns ago) / 3 (when battle started 20-29 turns ago) / 2 (when battle started 10-19 turns ago) / 1 (when battle started 1-9 turns ago) Master Ball : 255 So, when you are fighting a 45 catch rate pokemon, you must get x4 multiplier to get it. Ditto is one, and people used to make it 1hp Aseep, and throw an Ultra Ball. Aseep make x2, Ultra Ball another x2, wich makes x4 and allow you to catch it when 1HP. Some Tips Repel Spoiler Usefull while hunting a specific pokemon. You first have to farm the place a bit, to know wich pokemon are standing here. Then, if your pokemon isnt the weakest (regarding his level), you can use the Repel Tip :D Just lead with an useless Pokemon, leveled one level under the lowest level of the pokemon you are hunting (lowest level can be seen in the dex). The Repel poke can be KO (and it's recomended). So, you wont encounter pokemon that are weaker than the one you're hunting anymore. No more waste of time :D Synchro Spoiler Usefull while hunting a specific pokemon. Lead with a pokemon that have Syncho, and the nature that you want on your catch. You'll get 15% more chances to get the nature you want on your catch. The Synchro poke can be KO (and it's recomended). Syncronize Pokemons : Abra - Kadabra - Alakazam Natu - Xatu Umbreon - Espeon Ralts - Kirlia - Gardevoir PS : Best is to combine Repel and Synchro tips. Lead with a Synchronize pokemon leveled as you need. Swarm/Illuminate Spoiler If you are lazy to walk, and want more encounters, you can use these abilities. Give you a little % more encounters, so, less walking, more fighting. Swarm/Illuminate Pokemons : Beedril Scyther - Scizor Ledyba - Ledian Spinarak - Ariados Heracross Beautifly Volbeat Staryu - Starmie Chinchou - Lanturn Volbeat Suneet, WestTurtle, frogbussoms and 17 others 20 Link to comment

Rafatta Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 hi! i have a doubt, how can i teach Yawn to my Farfetch'd? I've been looking everywhere but i can't find any guide or post where it's explained. If someone can help me i will be very greateful :D Link to comment
Bearminator Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Farfetch'd moveset ^ As you can see, Fetch has move "Yawn" in "Special" category. That means, you can teach him this move in Battle Frontier for 10.000 of Battle Points. You can get them in Battle Frontier and by matchmaking. I hope it helps! ᵔᴥᵔ Link to comment
Rafatta Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Thank you vey much Bearminator! I saw in the pokedex that the move was in the Special category but i didn't know i can find those moves in the Battle Frontier, i've always go to the tutors, the two old ladys, but now i found out this other place with the Special moves. Seriously, thanks! Link to comment
