NEWS

June 29, 2010: The highland is open, with the swamp's first Ice-type Pokemon! Also, the forest has gained some Pokemon.
June 12, 2010: You may now find that Pokemon are holding items or find berries on the ground. As other areas open up, new items will appear.
June 11, 2010: Hills area has opened up with some new Pokemon to find.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you wander, searching for a new Safari Zone area, you come across one that appears rather...cold and wet. Pools of murky water are set beneath trees and between patches of tall grass, and you can hear Bug and Bird Pokemon sounding their buzzes and chirps. Tree-covered hills lie in the distance. A lodge sits to the front of you, and there is a signpost in front of it. The sign says "Welcome to Giant Swamp".

As you approach the lodge, a tall, thin man with glasses greets you.

"Hello, and welcome to the swamp!" he says. "I run the place around here. If you're looking to catch some Pokemon, here's an electronic guide detailing the prices of our facilities and the Pokemon you may find here, in addition to some other information."

You check the guide. It says:

The Giant Swamp is a place where many different Pokemon reside. Anyone is invited to come and catch some wild Pokemon at our facilities. These facilities are divided into several different areas, not all of which are open yet. Hidden Moves may be used in the facilities, as they may slightly increase your chance of finding a rare Pokemon. If you find an item or money in the facilities, you may keep it.

The price to explore is $5, and during that time, you may explore as many areas as you want. You may catch up to three Pokemon per expedition. You may rent a fishing rod for an extra $2 if you would like to catch the Pokemon in the water without using Surf. You may pass by any Pokemon that you don't want to catch, but the limit is 15 per $5.

The current areas are as follows:

Name: Marsh
Description: A wet area with many ponds and pools. The grass grows tall in these parts.
Types found: Water, Grass, Normal, Bug, Poison.
Water: Yes
HM's that can be used: Cut can clear grass to find Pokemon hiding within, Surf can find Pokemon living in the water, Dive can find rarer aquatic Pokemon.

You didn't specify land or water, so I will factor in both.

And you have found...

Would you like to try to catch it?

I'll have a go at... the forest. My Torterra Nahasapeemipetilan can Cut.
Also, what are the chances of encountering rare, etc.?

Common: Everything that's not one of the others.
Uncommon: 1/10, 1/8 with an HM that helps find rare Pokemon, like Cut in the forest
Rare: 1/100, 1/90 with HM
Very Rare: 1/250, 1/240 with HM
So Rare, You'll Probably Never Find It: 1/500, 1/480 with HM

Shiny is 1/200, same as everywhere.

Anyway, you've found...

Also, thanks Midnight!
 
Brock captures the Masquerain (M) and can still catch two more Pokemon.

Squorn finds a

Remember, if you guys want to swap areas in the middle of the game, fine by me.
