The Repel trick is a trick that allows the player to find the most powerful Pokémon in a area. For doing it, the player needs some Repels and a Pokémon at a specific level.

How to use

To do the trick, the player simply needs a Repel and a Pokémon at a specific level, a level weaker than the target wild Pokémon level.

This trick is possible because the Repel prevents weak wild Pokémon from appearing. "Weak" means Pokémons a level or least than the first Pokémon in the Party. This means that if the player has a Pokémon weaker than the strongest wild Pokémon, that Pokémon continues to appear. Of course, there is a range of possible levels for Pokémon, but only the Pokémons at the same level or stronger than the first member of the Party will appear.

This trick can be sometimes usefull to find a specific Pokémon in a area. It can also be use with Pokémon Luring Methods, such as White Flute and the Pokémon March boardcast to increse the probability of finding a Pokémon.

Examples

Route 111

Take for example the desert area of the Route 111 The wild Pokémon list in this area is:

Pokémon		Games			Location	Levels	Rate
	Sandshrew	R	S	E	Sand	19-21	35%
	Trapinch	R	S	E	Sand	19-21	35%
	Cacnea	R	S	E	Sand	19-21	20%
	Baltoy	R	S	E	Sand	20-22	10%
	Baltoy	R	S	E	Sand	19-21	20%
	Cacnea	R	S	E	Sand	20-22	10%
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.

The player wants to find the most powerful Pokémon possible, so it simply has to put a Lv.20 Pokémon in the front of the party.

Mt. Silver

Another exemple is the Mt. Silver outside area. The wild Pokémon list is:

Pokémon		Games			Location	Levels	Rate
All times
	Ponyta	G	S	C	Grass	42	30%
	Rapidash	G	S	C	Grass	44	10%
	Tangela	G	S	C	Grass	39-41	30%
	Ursaring	G	S	C	Grass	42	20%

	Poliwhirl	G	S	C	Grass	42-44	40%
	Sneasel	G	S	C	Grass	38-42	10%
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.

The player wants to find a Rapidash in the Day time, which are a little bit rare. To find it, the player simply needs to put a level 44 Pokémon in the front of the party and use a Repel. As the only Pokémon in the level 44 are Rapidash, it is sure that the player will find a Rapidash.
