will u include something about catchrate and best way to catch diffrents pokes?

• Angeluksdarkrose

Well done! Don't forget to include that you can find Claw & Root fossils on Shuckle in the Hoenn SZ when you add that to the guide, also a neat little trick for mass Shuckle hunting; Rock Smash all Rocks in Area -> Switch Channels & you don't have to move. :)

• Bestfriendss , CaptainGrey and kevpr

Moved to that main forum and added to the Guide Tavern Index.

Bestfriendss

I am planning on endorsing your guide when I get the chance to. Stay tuned to the RR News channel!

[spoiler]Keep up the good work! ;) [/spoiler]

less common, more %'s pls

its hard to judge percentiles, especially when the developers changed up the safari zones (lotad at night in Kanto, that is evidence of a change...).

means that they have the % as well. Besides, i'm not asking for cpt to put it in half n hour later, whenever they are accurate

I do pose this question to you Malorne, do you understand the fact that CaptainGrey is not a dev? I know that he posted where all the pokes are, but at the same time, he probably ventured out into the safari a couple of times. Captain is just giving his input from a CM's prospective. ( C M = Community Manager not Development Manager). Thus, Captain probably does not have the percentiles on top of his head. The devs have a hard job, but at the same time, they shouldn't be responsible for giving us percentiles, that is just plan silly. My conclusion to the problem, lack the percentiles (in the Emerald Guide Book, I read it and when it was showing pokemon, it didn't say "Whismer 100% " instead it stated "Whismer Very Common ." Percentiles are just plan silly and are not needed to make an effective guide. CaptainGrey made a to the point guide that I am planning to advertise on my YT channel, it is to the point, and no need for silly numbers.

 CaptainGrey made a to the point guide that I am planning to advertise on my YT channel, it is to the point, and no need for silly numbers.

how is this about your channel again? i prefer numbers of rarity, gives more precise rates.

1. The devs can't give numbers because then that would be like looking into a mathematics guide of PokeMMO rather than a typical guide. Thus, if they did give exact numbers, this would ruin the fun of the game, and this would single-handedly, expose the game too much.

2. Please refrain from insulting my YouTube channel, it is not polite. I am not going to insult you although I do feel like doing it sometimes. Violates Rule 1 clause a

These are two important points I would like to express to you. Please read them. Like I said, I am going to refrain from insulting you for all the distress you are causing here on a simplistic and to the point guide.

i didn't insult your channel lol, was simply asking what was the validity about it with the topic at hand (which is irrelivant btw) also, giving out exact encounter rates doesn't change that much of a thing with the fun of the game, coz it isn't... so i don't see why not actually, why am i even arguing with you lol. Cpt, give enc rates mate  

You should play the game itself. You are ruining fun because you are bluntly giving way number information instead of a generic Very Common . Do you want to deface hope for those that want to catch Chansey, but come to find out that there is a 5% chance of encountering it. That would ruin hope for chansey lovers and also discorage people from venturing out into the Safari Zone for that Chansey or Kangaskan. Instead of ruining people's hopes, make a genaric Very Common or Very Rare label, saves the trouble and the more generic you can be, the happier the player base.

More numbers = More stress  <---Important formula for an MMO's success

I will not give the % encounter rates, and please stop to debate about it on this topic to keep it clean. Thanks

do i need to remind you that some values are based on encounter rates?

Well done! Don't forget to include that you can find Claw & Root fossils on Shuckle in the Hoenn SZ when you add that to the guide, also a neat little trick for mass Shuckle hunting; Rock Smash all Rocks in Area -> Switch Channels & you don't have to move.  :)

How to Catch Pokémon in Safari Zone

In the Pokémon series of games, Safari Zones are special unique areas in each game where rare Pokémon that don't appear anywhere else in the game can be caught. Safari Zones always operate with different rules than the rest of the game world - instead of battling Pokémon in the wild like you normally would, you'll need to carefully use baits and deterrents to get Pokémon to let down their guards so you can catch them. This can be quite challenging, so knowing the ins and outs of Safari Zone mechanics in each game is vital for success.

Navigating the Safari Zone

Fighting and capturing pokémon.

• Note that the "run away" option functions as normal, so we won't be discussing it.

• However, using bait will also make the Pokémon more difficult to catch in a safari ball. Thus, striking a balance here can be difficult — the longer you get the Pokémon to stick around for, the harder it will be to actually capture it.

• However, there's an important downside: using rocks will also make the Pokémon more likely to run away. In fact, after taking more than a few rocks, a Pokémon is virtually guaranteed to run away — some will exit the battle sooner. Thus, once again, using rocks means striking a delicate balance as you try to capture your Pokémon.

• Note that you only have a limited supply of safari balls (depending on the game, usually 30), so save them for Pokémon you want to catch. It's generally the best use of your time to use your safari balls for Pokémon that are only found in the safari zone.

• Note that safari balls are weak compared to the pokéballs you can use in the rest of the game. In addition to this, especially rare Safari Zone Pokémon are extra-difficult to catch. [2] X Research source This can lead to some very frustrating situations — for instance, it can easily take 20 or more tries to catch an exceptionally rare Pokémon like Clefairy.

General Tips

• Bulbapedia, an online user-supported Pokémon encyclopedia, has extensive information about each game's Safari Zone, including maps and guides covering where to look for the Pokémon in each zone. See the Bulbapedia Safari Zone article to get started. [3] X Research source
• Note that there is no step limit in the Safari Zone in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. [4] X Research source

• Across all of the games in the series, the entrance fee has stayed the same: 500 P . This includes the Great Marsh in Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, which is not technically a Safari Zone but behaves very similarly.
• One smart strategy is to save your game before you enter the Safari Zone. This way, if you don't catch any Pokémon you want, you can re-load to avoid paying the entrance fee again.

• As an example of the sort of equation used in the games to determine whether certain Pokémon are captured, consider the equation from the Generation games (Gold and Silver): a = max((3 × HP max - 2 × HP current ) × rate modified / (3 × HP max ), 1) + bonus status where HP max is the Pokémon's maximum HP, HP current is the Pokémon's current HP, rate modified is the catch rate of the Pokémon modified by the ball used (every Pokémon and every ball modifies this in a certain way, and bonus status is the modifier for any status condition (sleep and freeze are 10, all others are 0). [5] X Research source When you throw a ball, a random number between 0 and 255 is generated. If this number is less than or equal to a, the Pokémon is caught.

Catching Pokémon in the Kanto Safari Zone

In the following sections, we'll highlight the rare Pokémon in each Safari zone and give specific advice where applicable. To keep these tables to a reasonable size, we've included only the rarest Pokémon in each area — for exhaustive information, consult the Safari Zone guides at Serebii.net and Bulbapedia.

Catching Pokémon in the Hoenn Safari Zone

Note that the Generation 4 Hoenn Safari Zone (Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire) won't be covered here as the player is allowed to engage in ordinary battles in this zone.

Catching Pokémon in the Sinnoh Great Marsh

Though Sinnoh's Pokémon preserve has a different name, it functions virtually identically to Safari Zones in other regions.

Catching Pokémon in the Johto Safari Zone

Note that the Safari Zone is not available in Generation 2 (Gold/Silver) but is available in the Generation IV games that visit Johto (HeartGold/SoulSilver). Note also that in this Safari Zone the player can arrange the six different areas in any arrangement desired. Finally, many of the areas in the Johto Safari Zones have Pokémon appearance rates that are not yet known — only data for the known areas has been included. See Bulbapedia for more information. [6] X Research source

Expert Q&A

• Once again, the data in the tables above only deals with the most noteworthy Pokémon in each area. In fact, many more Pokémon appear in each Safari Zone. Thanks Helpful 3 Not Helpful 2
• Remember — you have a limited number of steps inside the Safari Zone, not a limited amount of time. Thus, you can take as long as you like if you control your movement carefully. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 3

Zona Safari (Kanto)

La Zona Safari ( Safari Zone en inglés; サファリゾーン Zona Safari en japonés) de Kanto es un recinto cerrado donde se pueden capturar especies exóticas de Pokémon de la región. Se encuentra en la zona norte de Ciudad Fucsia .

Descripción [ editar código | editar ]

• Lanzar una Safari Ball para intentar atrapar al Pokémon.
• Lanzar un cebo , que hará más improbable que el Pokémon huya, pero dificultará su captura.
• Tirar una piedra, facilitando la captura del Pokémon, pero haciéndolo más propenso a escaparse.
• Huir del encuentro.

Además, hay un límite de estancia en la zona: 500 pasos en Pokémon Rojo, Pokémon Azul y Pokémon Amarillo y 600 en Pokémon Rojo Fuego y Pokémon Verde Hoja . Cuando los hayas dado, saldrás automáticamente de la zona. Este límite se puede abusar de diferentes maneras: girando sobre uno mismo en un cuadrado de hierba sin dar pasos, pulsando suavemente las direcciones del panel de control, o utilizando dulce aroma con un Pokémon que lo conozca.

Exclusivamente, en  Pokémon Amarillo , se puede entrar en la Zona Safari aunque no se tenga el dinero necesario, dándole al jugador una cantidad proporcional de Safari Balls dependiendo del dinero que haya pagado. Si no se tiene nada de dinero y se intenta entrar tres veces, al final se puede entrar gratis y con una Safari Ball. Esto se hizo para prevenir que el jugador se quedara atascado en la aventura, ya que la  MO3  ( Surf ) y los  Dientes de Oro , un objeto necesario para conseguir  Fuerza , se encuentran dentro de la Zona Safari.

Durante la segunda generación , la Zona Safari está cerrada por reformas, pero los Pokémon de esta se pueden encontrar en otros lugares.

En Pokémon Oro HeartGold y Pokémon Plata SoulSilver , la Zona Safari es sustituida por el nuevo Parque Compi de Kanto, mientras que en Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! y Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! , lo es por el GO Park .

...recibiendo una cantidad proporcional de Safari Balls .

Si no tiene dinero, podrá acceder de forma gratuita.

El logo de la Zona Safari en el manga es una referencia al logo de Jurassic Park , con la silueta de un Nidoking .

Curiosidades [ editar código | editar ]

• En realidad, en las ediciones Pokémon Oro y Plata se encuentra una Zona Safari programada, y mediante el código Gameshark 010344D0 | 015045D0 | 010343D0 (se introduce uno debajo del otro sin las barras) se puede acceder a ella. Hay que entrar por una puerta cualquiera y después se estará dentro del edificio de la Zona Safari automáticamente. Si se continúa, se puede salir a la única zona que se llegó a completar antes de que se decidiera finalmente no incluirla en el juego, la Zona central. No se puede capturar ningún Pokémon salvaje y los códigos no sirven en Cristal. La música que hay dentro es la misma que suena cuando un Pokémon evoluciona, es intercambiado o eclosiona de un huevo.
• La Zona Safari de Kanto es la más grande de todas en comparación a la de las otras regiones.
• A diferencia del anime, es muy poco probable que aparezcan Tauros salvajes, pues aparecen de forma muy escurridiza. En el EP035 , Ash logra capturar 30 de ellos sin ningún problema.
• En el manga, Red/Rojo estaba atrapado en la liana de Victreebel junto con otras presas para el ritual de evolución y ninguna de las presas se parecía a algún otro Pokémon, más bien tenían forma de animales. Eran ratas y aves, pero no tenían forma de Rattata o algún otro Pokémon y no ha sido demostrado que existan animales en el mundo Pokémon. Un caso similar ocurre en el anime en el episodio titulado El fantasma de Mayden's Peak (ES) / El fantasma del Pico de la Doncella (HA) ‹№› que para combatir a Ekans , Gastly se transforma en una mangosta, siendo un animal real y no un Pokémon.

Great Marsh

The Great Marsh (Japanese: 大湿原 Great Marsh ) is an area located in Pastoria City . It is Sinnoh 's Safari Zone and contains some Pokémon that cannot be found anywhere else in Sinnoh. It is filled with marshy areas , which, unlike normal marsh tiles, have tall grass inhabited by wild Pokémon .

Functioning

Capturing pokémon.

Much like other Pokémon preserves in Kanto and Hoenn , the Great Marsh features a Safari Game in which Trainers pay $ 500 for 30 Safari Balls and a limited number of steps (500) to catch all the Pokémon they can.

The mechanics are similar to other Safari Zones: when a wild Pokémon appears, the player may not send out any Pokémon to battle it, but must instead try to catch the Pokémon without harming it. The wild Pokémon may choose to flee the battle at any time, thus, catching a Pokémon in the Great Marsh requires mainly luck.

There are four options shown in the battle screen:

• Throw a Safari Ball - Throws a Safari Ball in possibility of capture. It is much the same as throwing a Poké Ball in an average Pokémon battle.
• Throw bait - Throwing bait makes a Pokémon easier to catch, but makes it more likely to flee from battle. (Increases catch rate and flee rate by one stage each)
• Throw mud - Throwing mud does the reverse of throwing bait, making the Pokémon harder to catch, but making the Pokémon less likely to flee from battle. (Decreases catch rate and flee rate by one stage each)
• Run from battle - Like in an average Pokémon battle, running away from a Pokémon will cause the battle to end.

Similar to the issue in Pal Park , if the player has an Arceus in the front of their party, holding a Plate, and initiates a battle, the game will freeze .

The area was redesigned in Pokémon Platinum to feature slightly upgraded graphics that allow the player to distinguish between deep and shallow mud. The park is still divided into six areas, but the individual areas have slightly different layouts.

Changing Pokémon

Some Pokémon will not always appear in the Great Marsh. Every day, a random Pokémon from a set list will be chosen by the game to appear in each area of the marsh, in addition to the Pokémon that can always be found there. Each possible Pokémon has a different chance of being chosen, but whichever one is chosen has a 10% encounter rate in its area. The same Pokémon can be chosen to appear in multiple areas on the same day, and, prior to obtaining the National Pokédex , some of the Pokémon that can be chosen can already be encountered anyway. After obtaining the National Pokédex , the list of changing Pokémon changes.

The only way to tell which changing Pokémon is available in each area for the day is to use the lookout upstairs from the entrance. For $ 100, the player can get a brief glimpse of the Great Marsh, showing certain Pokémon in certain areas of the marsh. In each slide, a part of the park will appear with a Pokémon in the center of the slide that can be found in that area. However, the Pokémon that are shown are completely random, meaning that it is possible for the player to only see Pokémon that can always be found in each area anyway. Record mixing also changes the changing Pokémon of the day in the Great Marsh so that all players mixing records have the same Pokémon on the same day.

As with previous Safari Zones, Pokémon are made easier and harder to catch by modifying their catch rates . An escape rate is also given for each Pokémon that appears in the Great Marsh. The escape rates for Pokémon are the same for all Generation IV games, except that those who do not appear in the Great Marsh or the Johto Safari Zone do not have their escape rates defined in the relevant games.

At the start of an encounter, both rates are set to their species defaults. Throwing Bait will increase the catch rate by one stage, but will also have a 90% chance of increasing the escape rate by one stage. Conversely, throwing Mud will decrease the escape rate by one stage, but will also have a 90% chance of decreasing the catch rate by one stage. When bait is thrown and the flee stage is not increased the message "... is busy eating!" will be displayed. When mud is thrown and the catch stage is not decreased the message "... is beside itself with anger!" will be displayed. Stages for catch rates and escape rates work identically to stat stages : they may not be raised above +6 or below -6, where 0 is the starting stage. The stage multipliers applied to the catch rates and escape rates are also identical to that of stat stages.

At the end of each turn, a random number between 0 and 254 (inclusive) is generated, and if it is less than the or equal to the modified escape rate, the Pokémon escapes.

Due to a programming error, Whiscash does not have a flee rate programmed into the game, and thus only has a 1/255 chance to flee (if the generated random number is 0).

Statistically, exclusively throwing Safari Balls provides the best chance of catching every Pokémon in the Great Marsh.

Base flee rates

These are the base flee rates. The Pokémon actual chance of fleeing each turn is affected by bait and mud.

Generation IV

The following encounters are used for Surfing and fishing in all areas where they are possible.

Areas 1 and 2

Areas 3 and 4.

The "rates" below are the chances for that Pokémon to be selected to appear in an area. All of these Pokémon will appear with a 10% encounter rate within the Great Marsh, or a 10% greater rate if they were already present. In Diamond and Pearl, the changing Pokémon's encounter rate is compensated (so that all encounter rates sum to 100%) by lowering the encounter rate of Marill and Quagsire in the same area (as seen above) by 5% each, while in Platinum, it is compensated by lowering the encounter rate of Wooper by 10%. The way this works in the games, this means that if Wooper is selected as the changing Pokémon in Platinum, there is no change to the tables shown above.

Generation VIII

The "rates" below are the chances for that Pokémon to be selected to appear in an area. All of these Pokémon will appear with a 10% encounter rate within the Great Marsh, or a 10% greater rate if they were already present. The changing Pokémon's encounter rate is compensated (so that all encounter rates sum to 100%) by lowering the encounter rate of Marill and Quagsire in the same area (as seen above) by 5% each.

In the anime

As a boy, James was exploring the Great Marsh when he found a Carnivine stuck in the mud, struggling to get free. James pulled it out and they became friends ever since. During Team Rocket 's journey through Sinnoh, Carnivine traveled with James.

Ash , Dawn , and Brock visited the Great Marsh in Cream of the Croagunk Crop! , in which Brock and his Croagunk participated in the Pastoria Croagunk Festival .

In A Crasher Course in Power! , Team Rocket were shown relaxing in the Great Marsh.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Diamond & pearl arc.

In A Skuffle with Skorupi , Diamond , Pearl and Platinum came here after Crasher Wake 's assistant recommended Platinum to get a Grass-type Pokémon before challenging the Gym Leader . Platinum tried to catch various Pokémon, like Budew and Skorupi , with no success. At some point, the group got stuck in the mud. While they tried to struggle themselves free, a wild Carnivine attacked Chatler and Lax , who fought it and won. Chimler saved Platinum from drowning in the mud, after which the group left the Great Marsh empty-handed.

The following is a list of cards related to mentioning or featuring the Great Marsh in the Pokémon Trading Card Game .

• In Diamond and Pearl, a man in the Great Marsh incorrectly states that both bait and mud make Pokémon more likely to run but easier to catch.
• If the player uses the walk through walls cheat to enter the Great Marsh, the changing Pokémon won't appear.
• If the player encounters a Pokémon while they are sunken in deep mud, a glitch exists where upon exiting the battle, it will seem that the player is still "stuck", despite being able to move around normally. The effects of this glitch are most obvious when the player attempts to move to a tile with dry land after performing the glitch.
• Despite the Galactic Bomb's successful detonation, no damage caused by it can be found at the Great Marsh.
