  • Heart Scale - 50%

 

Also, according to:

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hoenn_Route_128

  • Luvdisc has a 40% encounter rate with a super rod, thus, while fishing with a super rod in that location, you have a ((0.5*0.4) * 100%) = 20% chance of an encounter being a luvdisc with a heart scale

 

With a 20% of an encounter being a luvdisc with a heart scale, that means a 80% chance of the encounter being anything else.

 

(0.8)^21 *100% = 0.9%

 

Meaning, if you do 21 encounters with a super rod in that location, you theoretically have less than a 1% chance of not finding a luvdisc with a heart scale.

everything you said there is to take with a grain of salt becaus spawn rate for everything are subject to change either becaus it would be op or becaus there is more pokemon spawning in that area due to the fact we don't have any version exclusive.
