Pikachu rarity incorrect.
Pikachu's rarity being very rare is completely false. I can't tell you how many times I tripped over these guys on route 3. If anything, they're common as heck. At night anyway. Pyrix (talk) 06:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
- According to the official Pokemon X and Y guidebook, it shows Pikachu as a black triangle, which is Very Rare, unless it's a typo in the book. Got any proof that this is Common?--The CHOsen One (talk) 22:02, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- That comment is very old. Old comments are usually best left alone (this is encapsulated in site policy). If that user hasn't pressed the issue, there's not really a good reason to respond to this at this point (especially with a question; odds are this user is long gone). The long and short of it is, anecdotes can be very unreliable. Tiddlywinks (talk) 22:40, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- I've encountered something strange while trying to do prof oak's challenge. I was looking for a male burmy when my fenniken's pp got low so i swapped my first pokemon party member to pikachu. After that the next 7 wild pokemon I've encountered were nothing else but pikachu. Finally ran into a fletchling after that. Possibly super rare rolls but after running around for 80 other encounters and only hitting a pikachu once, I felt I should mention maybe it's not a static percent encounter rate and there are other factors. - unsigned comment from Th3w1zard1 (talk • contribs)
- I think the people who wrote here, except me, just ran out of luck before finding a Pikachu here, as the probabilities are taken from the game's datamine. --C.Ezra.Mrozmowa · sprawozdanie 22:11, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Just to demystify the situation: This is why Pikachu will spawn so often here if you have another Pikachu in the front of your party. Kai * the Arc Toraph 14:37, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
